Millie Bobby Brown has revealed what her real name is
Millie Bobby Brown has revealed what her real name is.
The Stranger Things star made the revelation during an interview for her forthcoming Netflix movie The Electric State with co-star Chris Pratt.
“My middle name is Bonnie,” she told Pratt during a chat with BuzzFeed UK to which he replied: “Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown?”.
She then said: “No, it’s not Bobby. It’s Millie Bonnie Brown. I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first.”
“Your middle name is Bonnie… but you changed to Bobby for…?” Pratt asked. “Just for shits and giggles,” she replied before she confirmed she changed it for her stage name.
@buzzfeeduk We can’t believe this

The Electric State, the new film from Joe and Anthony Russo which also features Succession star Brian Cox, is set to air on Netflix on March 14. The movie is set in an alternative future where an orphaned teenager searches the American West with a robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.
Elsewhere, Brown hit back at numerous tabloids after they criticised her appearance earlier this week.
She said: “I refuse to apologise for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman. I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself. We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticise than it is to pay a compliment.
“Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than to say something nice? If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder – what is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable? Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being torn apart for simply existing.”
Comedian Matt Lucas then posted an apology to her after previously comparing her to one of the characters on his show Little Britain after she singled out his comment.
