Millie Bobby Brown has been a familiar face since she was ten years old, but the Electric State actress recently revealed that her actual name is not Millie Bobby Brown – that is her stage name. The twenty-one-year-old star’s real name is very similar, just with a different middle name.
So this is the real name of Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown
According to Buzzfeed UK, ‘It’s Millie Bonnie Brown. I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first.’ She mentioned that she changed her middle name from Bonnie to Bobby ‘just for fun.’ Her co-star Chris Pratt, who was interviewing her, was surprised. Just like all of us, to be honest.
Millie Bobby Brown shares a powerful video addressing criticism of her appearance
Brown has been actively promoting the upcoming Netflix movie scheduled for release on March 14. She recently went viral for addressing criticism regarding her appearance in a heartfelt Instagram video.
In her message, she wrote, ‘I want to address something that I believe goes beyond just me, something that impacts every young woman growing up in the public eye. I believe it’s crucial to discuss. I entered this industry at the age of ten. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people seem unable to grow with me. Instead, they expect me to remain frozen in time, as if I should still resemble how I looked in Stranger Things season 1. And because I don’t, I have become a target.’
She highlighted several articles criticizing her appearance and stressed that ‘this is not journalism. This is bullying. The fact that adult writers dedicate their time to scrutinizing my face, my body, my decisions, is troubling. The fact that some of these articles were written by women? Even more troubling. We often talk about empowering and supporting young women, but when the time comes, it appears easier to tear them down for clicks.’
‘It’s unfortunate that some individuals struggle to see a girl evolve into a woman on her own terms, not theirs. I refuse to apologize for maturing. I refuse to diminish myself to make others comfortable with their unrealistic expectations of who I should be. I will not be ashamed of my appearance, my attire, or my self-expression.’
She added, ‘We have reached a point in society where criticizing is far simpler than complimenting. Why is the immediate reaction to say something hurtful rather than something kind? If this bothers you, I wonder: what makes you so uneasy? Let’s strive for improvement. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without the fear of being torn down simply for existing.’
