The real Millie Bobby Brown has risen from the Upside Down.
The Stranger Things star recently revealed that her memorable triple name is actually Millie Bonnie Brown, surprising fans and friends, including her Electric State costar Chris Pratt.
As for the reason behind the moniker change?
“Just for s–ts and giggles,” the 21-year-old told Chris during a March 6 interview with Buzzfeed. “I’ve never told anyone that, [but] you heard it here first.”
While she didn’t specify the inspiration behind her stage name, some believe “Bobby” is a sweet nod to her dad, Robert Brown. This isn’t the first time she’s dedicated her brand to a family member, as she revealed her beauty line Florence by Mills—which she debuted in 2019—was fittingly named after her grandmother Florence.
“My grandmother embraced her individuality a lot and she expressed herself,” the Enola Holmes star told People in a September 2019 interview. “I definitely relate to that. I’ve been told I’m like her in that respect, and I wanted that to represent my brand as well.”
