Millie Bobby Brown charmed us all when she broke out because the candy, lovely, and misplaced Eleven when Stranger Issues premiered on Netflix in 2016. She’s much more well-known due to her Enola Holmes franchise and stars within the Russo Brothers’ new sci-fi movie, The Electrical State. However whereas all three of her names is likely to be family names at this level, it seems they’re not her actual names!
Sure, together with speaking about how individuals must cease criticizing her for “growing older badly,” Brown is sharing that her center title is definitely completely different. In an interview with Buzzfeed UK, she explains, “My center title is Bonnie.” She provides, “I by no means instructed anybody that. You heard it right here first.”
Okay. I want to sit down down for a minute! Millie Bobby Brown’s actual title is… Millie Bonnie Brown. How did we get right here? What’s pretend and what’s actuality? Because the actress explains, she switched “Bonnie” with “Bobby.” Why? Effectively, there’s no huge story or surprising motive. She simply wished to, so she did it.
I respect her need to comply with her instincts and do what feels proper, however I do need to ask why this was vital? Millie Bonnie Brown and Millie Bobby Brown sound just about an identical! There isn’t any doubt she would have been forged as Eleven and achieved the success she has along with her OG center title. Proper? Am I flawed? Or perhaps utilizing “Bonnie” would have modified one thing within the universe (or the Upside Down) and, like that ridiculous Ashton Kutcher film The Butterfly Impact that manages to be each tacky and disturbing, her entire profession would have panned out in a different way?
If Millie Bobby Brown wasn’t sufficient B’s (say that 5 occasions), she married Jake Bonjiovi in 2024 and her married title is Millie Bobby Brown Bonjiovi. So… yeah. I’m very completely satisfied for the lovely couple, however that type of hurts my mind slightly.
Identical to I don’t wish to dwell in a world the place you-know-who is President a second time, or the place my beloved avocados price $10 (simply kidding, they price a way more cheap $5), I can’t wrap my thoughts round a world the place the Stranger Issues star isn’t actually named Millie Bobby Brown. However I do perceive altering your title. My mother and father named me Alexandra, however after I went to daycare, I instructed a caregiver my title was “Aya” someday. They instructed my mother, and he or she shrugged and figured that’s what I wished my title to be. After years of explaining to lecturers why the title on the category listing wasn’t what I wished to be referred to as, I had it legally modified after I was in my early 20s.
So why “Bobby?” In an interview with Wired in Nov. 2022, Brown answered “the net’s most searched questions” together with the origin of her title. She stated “Bobby coming from my father, his title’s Bobby.” So, her dad is Bobby Brown, and he or she’s Millie Bobby Brown. But in addition Millie Bonnie Brown. But in addition Millie Bobby Brown Bonjiovi.
Whereas I’ll have to regulate to this huge information that Brown simply dropped, I respect that she’s so confident at such a younger age, too. It doesn’t matter what title she desires to go by, Millie is one of the best. Now she simply must spill what occurs on the finish of Stranger Issues! No? She gained’t? It was price a shot.
