While actors often form new friendships as they take on different roles and work with fresh faces, some bonds develop particularly quickly.
Filming a movie can take months or even years, meaning co-stars spend significant time together. For The Electric State co-stars Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, their on-set camaraderie has clearly carried over into real life.
During a recent interview, the Stranger Things star surprised Pratt by revealing her full name—something she admitted she had “never told anyone” before.
Brown shared that she changed her middle name “for s*** and giggles,”* leaving Pratt stunned to learn that “Millie Bobby Brown” wasn’t her real name.
The 21-year-old clarified that her actual name is Millie Bonnie Brown, prompting Pratt to ask if she had changed it as a “stage name.”

Their upcoming film, The Electric State, is set to premiere on Netflix on March 14, 2025. Directed by Avengers: Endgame filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo, the movie is loosely adapted from Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 illustrated novel of the same name.
IMDb describes the film’s premise as: “An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick.”
In addition to Pratt and Brown, the cast includes Anthony Mackie, Woody Harrelson, and Ke Huy Quan, along with several other big-name stars.
