While on the press tour for Netflix's The Electric State , Millie Bobby Brown shared a pretty big secret: her real middle name. That's right, her name is not Millie Bobby Brown, it's actually Millie Bonnie Brown.
In an interview with BuzzFeed UK , she explained that she changed Bonnie to Bobby as her stage name for "giggles." She adds that she has never told anyone that. Naturally, Chris Pratt, her co-star, who she was doing the interview with, was just as surprised as everyone else.
Back in August of 2024, the actress also posted a group of pictures on her Instagram from the Stranger Things season 5 set, which included one with the name Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi after she married Jake Bongiovi in May.
On the press tour, she's spoken about how "emotional" filming the final season was. "I will forever be attached to that show, and I'm proud of it. It's a lot of hard work that everyone's put into it," Brown told GamesRadar. "I'll always be grateful for the Duffer Brothers for hiring me, and for Netflix for trusting me with such an amazing character. It's an amazing season. I can't wait for everyone to see it. I hate gatekeeping all the information, so I'm really excited for everyone to enjoy it."
