Netflix Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown swoons over Liverpudlian trait

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has swooned over a Liverpudlian trait.

The 18-year-old has skyrocketed to fame with her portrayal of Eleven in the hit Netflix show. Millie thrilled fans as the final two episodes of season four arrived on the streaming platform over the weekend.

Away from the screen, Millie grew up in Bournemouth, but she revealed she holds a close place in her heart for Liverpool on an episode of YouTube talk show Hot Ones. The actress appeared on the popular show ahead of the season four premiere of Stranger Things - and told host Sean Evans she would like to see the Scouse accent get more coverage in Hollywood.

She said: "I love a Liverpudlian accent. I can't do the accent so don't ask me but I support the football team." Millie is a prominent Liverpool FC supporter and has previously told the club's official website about how she fell in love with the team.

She said: "My family have been big supporters and fans since I was very young. So I started to love them gradually and watching the games to kind of understand what everyone was doing, and my brother was a big part of that.

"He started telling me about Steven Gerrard when he was playing and I started falling in love. So it was a big moment in my life."

Millie isn't the only Stranger Things actor with a Merseyside connection as Joseph Quinn told the ECHO about how he is still close to his family in the area. The 29-year-old has been the breakout star of the season with his scene stealing performance as Eddie Munson.

Although he grew up in South London, his mum hails from Liverpool and he still enjoys regular visits to the city. He said: "I spent my childhood going up to West Derby and I still see them whenever I can. I've got some lovely history up in Liverpool and it's an amazing city."

Stranger Things season four is available to stream on Netflix now
