Stranger Things fans have been left confused by Millie Bobby Brown‘s accent, which appears to have shifted from the British accent they’re used to hearing.Brown appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon accompanied by her dog Winnie, but many viewers picked up on the fact her accent was British one minute and then American the next, or perhaps a hybrid of both.The actress moved to Florida with her family when she was eight but her British accent has still largely stuck for most of her career.In the new interview, where Brown was promoting a new film Damsel, that no longer appears to be the case.“since when did millie bobby brown lose her british accent… HELLO??” one fan pointed out, while another said: “millie bobby brown developing an american accent was not on my bingo cards for 2024”millie bobby brown developing an american accent was not on my bingo cards for 2024— bry (@forgetmetwo) March 1, 2024since when did millie bobby brown lose her british accent… HELLO?? pic.twitter.com/SjvY4jmqrK— banjo (@flamingpuddle) March 4, 2024Whatever happened to Millie Bobby Brown’s accent happened really fast because even six months ago she didn’t sound this American— AMAAAA (@OhMyPerd) March 2, 2024millie bobby brown losing her southern english accent makes me sad DONT BECOME AMERICAN.— mya˚ʚ♡ɞ˚is missing louis (@l1ttlefreakkrry) March 4, 2024The change in her accent might also be explained by the fact that she is currently filming the final season of Stranger Things.Elsewhere in the interview, Brown revealed how she got engaged to Jake Bongiovi. ”Jake and I bonded over diving,” she said.
