Pratt, who spent months shooting the film with her, was shocked to hear it. “Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown?” a confused Pratt asked. Millie replied, “No, it’s no Bobby. It’s Millie Bonnie Brown.”

The actress said that her current middle name was completely made up. Not everyone there believed her, but Brown confirmed that it was really true. She said that she had always kept her real middle name a secret, and this was the first time she had talked about it. “I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first!” she said.

Pratt quizzed her about the reason for it. "Your middle name is Bonnie, but you just changed it to Bobby for...," Pratt asked.

Millie Bobby Brown trolled for her physical appearance

Millie Bobby Brown recently hit out at trolls who questioned her physical appearance, especially her face. She has been slammed for looking much older for her age, with people accusing her of getting Botox and face fillers. Millie slammed those who were dissecting her appearance, calling it "bullying".

She took to her Instagram page and said, "I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on ‘Stranger Things’ Season 1. And because I don’t, I’m now a target."

"I refuse to apologise for growing up," she added.
