Millie Bobby Brown left her Stranger Things co-star puzzled when she disclosed she has changed her name.
As anticipation builds for the release of the popular Netflix series, several cast members took part in an interview with VT, where they responded to some entertaining questions. One particular moment has caught everyone’s attention on social media.
In the interview, Brown was paired with Noah Schnapp, who was asked to state his co-star’s full name, a question he struggled to answer correctly.
Schnapp initially responded with: “Millie Bonnie Brown,” to which Brown replied, “Yeah, well now…”
Brown seemed to be alluding to her marriage to Jake Bongiovi last year.
This sparked a humorous exchange between the two as Schnapp continued to mispronounce her name.
He attempted variations like ‘Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi’, ‘Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown’, ‘Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi Brown’, but none were correct.
The actress playing Eleven insisted that Brown was no longer part of her name, a notion Schnapp found amusing, leading to much laughter.
She clarified that her legal name is now simply ‘Millie Bonnie Bongiovi’, though viewers of the interview humorously noted that it’s quite a tongue twister.
One user quipped: “Try saying that five times fast.”
Another commented: “Lowkey a tongue twister.”
A third remarked, “MBBB, ROFLOL what a tongue twister.”
While this was a light-hearted moment for Brown, as the fifth and final season of Stranger Things approaches, she’s also been addressing rumors of bullying on set.
In a conversation with the Hollywood Reporter, Brown discussed the importance of her and her co-stars maintaining a united front despite rumors of discord.
Recently, she addressed supposed tension between her and David Harbour: “She said: “We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years.
“I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”
Brown also spoke about her rapport with Harbour and how it was meaningful to ‘come back together’ for the concluding season.
She added: “She continued: “It was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season two and three, where we’re both kind of butting heads and she’s growing up, she’s trying to find her own voice and he’s trying to parent, and that dynamic definitely comes back into play once again, and I’m really excited for people to see that.”
