Millie Bobby Brown has revealed she fell into “a slight depression” after ‘Stranger Things’ ended, admitting she worried about losing touch with the cast she had grown up alongside for nearly a decade.
Speaking during a live recording of Josh Horowitz’s ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast in New York City on June 24, the actress recalled asking her co-stars: “We’re still friends, right? Like, you’re not gonna stop talking to me anymore?” as she tried to “mend” any lingering tension.
Brown said the cast—including David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, and Winona Ryder—became more like family than colleagues. “These people were in my life more than my own family,” she said, adding that saying goodbye to Eleven and the series after 10 years was “a very, very emotional thing.”
Harbour recently addressed reports of tension between the pair in an interview with Variety on June 10, comparing their relationship to a family that “occasionally get in arguments, disagreements” before coming back together. “We adore each other and always have,” he said, adding that once they “talked to each other,” everything was “fine.”
