“That was such a huge thing for a minute. I call it the ‘accent gate’ because it’s so frustrating. After all, that was everywhere. Like for a second, everyone was talking about my accent, and they had a real problem with it. And I was like, ‘Guys, I’m married to an American.'” “Brown married Jake Bongiovi in May 2024,” said Millie, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

“When I’m around his family, I immediately go into, like, an American accent. But then I was just in England, and then the second I hear my mom and dad’s accent, I just go right back,” the Stranger Things actress said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

She also called her profession the reason for her change of accent.

“You want me to play these characters, but you expect me not to morph into people. What I hear is what I do. It’s all part of it,” said Millie in a podcast, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

It was not the first time that the actress addressed the criticisms around her accent. As per The Hollywood Reporter, in an interview last year with internet personality Max Balegde, the actress Millie echoed similar statements.

“I’m an actor. I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in America. I come to set, and I’m an actor and I adapt, and so I want to mimic other people!”

Millie Bobby Brown will be next seen in Stranger Things season 5.
