WHAT DID STRANGER THINGS ACTOR MATTHEW MODINE SAY ABOUT CO-STAR MILLIE BOBBY
BROWN?

Millie Bobby Brown found fame at quite an early age. Though she enjoys her
freedom, many child actors have opened up about the trauma and troubles of early
fame. In an interview
[https://www.nme.com/news/tv/stranger-things-matthew-modine-had-a-desire-to-protect-millie-bobby-brown-3348323]
with Guardian, Modine said, “My desire was to protect her. When I was a young
actor, if you had a show that was successful in 20 or 30 territories around the
world, that would be unbelievable.”

The actor also added how Netflix has a reach around so many countries, giving
wider fame to these actors. So, he wants her to understand how the fame game
works.

According to him, the reach that the Stranger Things

cast has achieved is like never before, especially how fast and wide the young
actors have been exposed through the streaming platform. But it is also a
rollercoaster. He says that the adoration and love that they receive may just be
a hollow attraction because it is not for them, but for the fantasy characters
made by the creator.
