“We wanted to create a modern heroine complete with flaws and coping mechanisms.”
After 10 years of working on Stranger Things together, it's no surprise that Millie Bobby Brown has developed a lot of trust with her castmates.
Having grown up together while filming the show, the cast seems to have developed a close, family-like bond.
Now, as Brown enters a new chapter of her adult life as a wife and mother, she's making sure her castmates remain an important part of her and her family's life.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for the season five premiere of the show, Brown was asked which of her castmates she would trust to babysit her newborn.
"Sadie [Sink] is very, very maternal. Very maternal. But, you know, Noah [Schnapp] is her godfather," Brown explained in the interview.
"I trust all of them [with the baby] to be honest," she continued. "They all turn into the most gooey soft versions of themselves when their baby voice comes out when they’re around her."
Despite the sometimes lengthy gaps between filming, the cast as a whole maintains that they are still close and talk in a group chat together.
"We’re always just trying to hang out," Brown shared exclusively with E! News on the premiere red carpet. "So, it’s always just us going, 'When can you? Where are you? Where are you in the world?'"
Being on the show from age 11 to age 21, the experience heavily shaped Brown's formative years, as she grew from a young girl into an adult woman.
"[Stranger Things] taught me so much about being an actor but also about being a friend and a good human being," she explained. "It’s pushed me in ways that I’ll always be very grateful and honored, and it’s given me the foundation to live out my dreams."
Noah Schnapp also shared that, like Brown, he has no intention of letting his friendships with his castmates end with the show.
"This is my family," Schnapp shared with E! News at the premiere. "I grew up with these people. It goes so far beyond the work—and I mean that genuinely. We’ll keep these friendships for life."
