What is Millie Bobby Brown's real name? Chris Pratt's shocked reaction will surprise you too
Millie Bobby Brown might be one of Hollywood's brightest young stars, but it turns out the name we've all known her by isn't entirely real. The 20-year-old actor, known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, recently left fans — and even co-star Chris Pratt — utterly gobsmacked by revealing her actual name during a promotional interview for her upcoming movie The Electric State.
While many assumed «Bobby» was simply a quirky middle name, Brown casually dropped the bombshell that the name isn't even part of her birth identity.
What's in a Name?
During a playful exchange with Chris Pratt for Buzzfeed, the Guardians of the Galaxy star jokingly asked if her full name was «Millie Bobby Bobby Brown.» With a grin, Brown finally set the record straight.
«My middle name is Bonnie,» she confessed, leaving Pratt momentarily speechless. When pressed further, she admitted: «There's no Bobby. It's Millie Bonnie Brown.»
The revelation stunned the internet, as fans scrambled to make sense of the seemingly random name swap. Brown herself seemed amused by the secret, confessing that she'd simply chosen Bobby for «sh*ts and giggles.»
