Millie Bobby Brown revealed her real name as final season of Stranger Things is finally about to air
Millie Bobby Brown shocked fans when she revealed this isn't her actual name.
Brown has grown up in the public eye since being catapulted to superstardom by the Netflix sci-fi series Stranger Things at the age of 12.
Now 21, the actor is married to Jake Bongiovi, son of rock icon Jon Bon Jovi, and a mother to a baby girl which she and Bongiovi adopted together.
However, it turns out there's still plenty we don't know about the actor, with the 21-year-old only recently revealing that Millie Bobby Brown isn't actually her legal name.

During a press tour for Electric State alongside co star Chris Pratt, Brown explained that she'd altered her name in order to make it more memorable as an actor.
"My middle name is Bonnie," she explained in an interview with Buzzfeed, prompting Pratt to ask if her full name was therefore 'Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown'.
"No, it’s not Bobby," she clarified. "I never told anyone that... You heard it here first."
While the actor went on to joke that she'd made the decision to change her name for 's**ts and giggles', you can't argue with the fact that 'Millie Bobby Brown' rolls off the tongue a lot better than 'Millie Bonnie Brown'. Whereas a simple 'Millie Brown' runs the risk of being too forgettable.
The minor tweak to her middle name isn't the only change with the Enola Holmes star has implemented either, with Brown previously confirming that she'd taken her husband's surname after marriage.
She confirmed the change while filming the final season of Stranger Things, sharing photos from the set and included a blackboard with her new full name 'Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi' written on it.
Try saying that three times faster.
Meanwhile, Brown also revealed how becoming a mother changed her experience filming for the final season of the most-anticipated show this winter.
During an interview for Entertainment Tonight, Brown confirmed that her child had met all of her co stars, saying: "They all turn into the most gooey, soft versions of themselves and their baby voice comes out when they're around her.
"So, it's amazing."
The infant, whose name has not been revealed publicly, is also now a part of the Stranger Things legacy, as Brown's co star Noah Schnapp was given the honour of being the child's godfather.
As for Brown's on-screen counterpart Eleven, we don't have much longer to go until we find out her ultimate fate – although some fans are feeling a little concerned after seeing a recent interview.
While speaking to Hugo Gloss, Brown was asked if she was happy with her character's outcome, prompting the actor to pull an awkward face and go, 'Mm-hm'.
A reaction which has, of course, been dissected to death on social media.
Not long to go until the finale guys.
