Millie Bobby Brown left her The Electric State co-star Chris Pratt speechless when she revealed her real name mid-interview.
The moment came while the pair were promoting their new sci-fi movie and did a rapid fire round, in which they appeared to be asked each other’s middle names.
Pratt was confident Bobby was the right answer but soon realised he was wrong in the clip published overnight by BuzzFeed UK.

The Stranger Things star revealed she was born Millie Bonnie Brown but swapped Bonnie for Bobby for “shits and giggles”.
“I’ve never told anyone that, you heard it here first,” she told the camera after explaining it to Pratt.
It’s understood the 21-year-old decided to pay homage to her dad, Robert, for her stage name.
It’s not known if she legally has changed her middle name but what is known, is that she has changed her surname.

After getting married last May to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi, she formally took his last name, making her now Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi.
She announced the update in August last year while posting behind-the-scenes of the fifth and final season of the Netflix hit series Stranger Things.
One of the images had a blackboard with her married name on it, which prompted plenty of comments from fans.
“Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi sounds so powerful,” one fan wrote.
Another joked about it being quite the tongue twister.
“Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi so sweet,” a third said.
Then she further confirmed the change in a New Year’s Eve post.
“The year of Mrs Bongiovi,” she captioned the highlights reel of 2024.
Not much is known about the couple’s wedding day, which was a “very low key” event, with only close family in attendance.

The couple then did it all again a few months later with a larger and more lavish wedding in Tuscany, Italy.
They shared those photos on social media in October.
