Millie Bobby Brown recently shared a sweet birthday snap with Noah Schnapp on her Instagram story to commemorate his 21st birthday. With an affectionate picture of the two clad in white outfits, embraced in a face-scrunching tight hug proclaiming him to be her "bestest friend," Brown wished him a happy birthday, writing, "me and you against the world." Through years of premieres, set nights, inside jokes, and spontaneous dance breaks, their camaraderie became a breath of fresh air among several high-profile Hollywood friendships.

Brown's Instagram Story highlighted the bond they created over almost a decade. In her message, she juxtaposed warm words with a picture of them that showed their effortless camaraderie. Years later, notwithstanding their characters' minimal direct exchanges in early seasons, the duo gained rapport off-set with overnight shoots, press junkets, and backstage banter. She honored not only the actor but also her old friend behind the character that intertwined their fates on the set of Stranger Things.
