Millie Bobby Brown snaps at photographer during

Millie Bobby Brown experienced an unexpectedly tense exchange on the red carpet during the London premiere of the final season of Stranger Things . The 21-year-old actress was posing for photos on November 13 when a photographer loudly instructed her to “Smile,” prompting Brown to immediately retort, “Smile? You smile!” before turning away and continuing down the carpet.

The moment contrasted with her recent cheerful appearance alongside co-star David Harbour, who plays her on-screen father. Their warm hugs and laughter at another premiere had eased rumours of tension between the two, with Netflix-shared videos showing them enjoying the event with the rest of the cast.

Brown joined Stranger Things in 2016 at just 12. Now married to Jake Bongiovi, whom she wed in May 2024, she has also embraced motherhood after the couple adopted a daughter earlier this year.

Fans are now gearing up for the show’s final season, which will arrive in three parts across major holiday weekends. Volume 1, featuring four episodes, releases on November 26, followed by a three-episode Volume 2 on Christmas, and the concluding finale on New Year’s Eve. The season is created by the Duffer Brothers and produced by Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps Entertainment, with executive producers including Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.
