Millie Bobby Brown, the young star of “Stranger Things,” recently shared an interesting piece of information about her name that surprised many fans. During a chat with fellow actor Chris Pratt, she revealed that her widely known middle name, “Bobby,” is actually not her real middle name. Instead, she disclosed that her true middle name is “Bonnie.”
In a light-hearted moment on Buzzfeed, when Pratt asked if her full name was “Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown,” she immediately corrected him with a laugh, stating, “No Bobby, it’s Millie Bonnie Brown.” She added, “I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first!”
Chris Pratt, known for his roles in films like “Guardians of the Galaxy,” seemed genuinely surprised by this revelation, reiterating, “Your middle name is Bonnie?” Brown humorously mentioned that she decided to go with “Bobby” for her stage name, explaining her reasoning simply as “For s—s and giggles.”
Fans of Brown appreciate her playful approach to sharing such personal details. It is also speculated that her middle name change could be a loving nod to her father, Robert Brown, who together with her mother, Kelly, supported her acting dreams from a young age. Millie gained fame at just 12 years old when she starred as Eleven in the beloved Netflix series.
Currently, Brown and Pratt are engaging in promotional activities for their new Netflix movie, “Electric State,” directed by the Russo brothers and based on Simon Stålenhag’s illustrated novel. The film includes a star-studded cast, featuring talents like Ke Huy Quan and Woody Harrelson.
In addition to her acting career, Brown has recently dealt with negative comments regarding her appearance. She took to her Instagram to express her feelings on being criticized for growing up in the public eye. She remarked that some people seem unable to accept her transformation as she matures and voiced her thoughts that the media’s focus on her looks is more about bullying than journalism.
Brown also mentioned her marriage to Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, which took place shortly after their engagement in April 2023. The couple’s commitment to each other shows a mature understanding, as she noted they discussed their political views and family aspirations before marrying.
Millie Bobby Brown continues to make waves in Hollywood while standing firm in her beliefs, openly sharing her journey with her fans.
