Millie Bobby Brown Says ‘Stranger Things’ Co-Stars Would “Food-Shame” Her for Eating British Food

Millie Bobby Brown recalled that when she was working on “Stranger Things,” she frequently got “food-shamed” by her mostly American co-stars. In an interview on “Hot Ones” with Sean Evans, she said they would react with mock shock when they saw what she was eating.

“They would be all American and be like, ‘Millie, what the f–k are you eating?’” Brown said, explaining that they didn’t understand the British food she grew up with and brought to set. She added that their reactions made her feel like she should hide, saying she would “hide in a corner” because they’d ask, “What is that?”

Brown said her go-to lunch was a “jacket potato” topped with beans and cheese, which she would bring wrapped in tin foil. She described telling her co-stars it was “nothing,” only for them not to get it.

Evans also pressed her about whether she put HP Sauce on her “spag bol,” which Brown addressed by saying that, in her experience, people tend to put brown sauce on many things. She noted that her family moved from England to the United States when she was about 12, and her time on “Stranger Things” involved filming while adjusting to that cultural difference with her cast mates.
