Millie Bobby Brown, the star of Stranger Things can switch up accents in no time from British to American, but she struggled in Enola Holmes.

The Mystery Behind the Perfect American Accent of Millie Bobby Brown; Did Miley Cyrus Have a Role in It?

Millie Bobby Brown is a household name now thanks to her character Eleven on the
mega-popular show, Strange Things. The role earned her two Primetime Emmy
nominations before her turn in Godzilla and Enola Holmes. Although her acting
skills are admirable, the young star also displayed impressive skills when it
came to switching accents. Fans were positively surprised by her British accent
in Enola Holmes. In Miley Cyrus’ Instagram live show, Bright Minded, she
admitted that Hannah Montana helped her perfect her accent. She was obsessed
with her and the show which led to a career in acting. 


MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN CONVINCED THE STRANGER THINGS CASTING DIRECTOR WITH HER
NATURAL AMERICAN ACCENT

The actress was serious about landing the titular role of Eleven. She worked on
her American accent and auditioned for the role in full American English. She
used her American accent previously in the American BBC series, Intruders. 



It helped that Millie Bobby Brown spent much of her formative years in England
before shifting to Florida. And she wasn’t new to acting before auditioning for
the Duffer brothers’ series either. She made her debut in 2013 as Young Alice in
ABC’s Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Her acting would go on to impress
showrunner Zack Estrin. The young starlet’s acting range moved him. Therefore he
extended her role into a recurring one. She would continue to appear in guest
roles on Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy. Millie had enough experience and time
to master the art of switching accents before her breakout role.

“For the last five years, I’ve been playing an American character in Stranger
Things, and I found it really challenging being British in this, even though I
am a Brit,” she disclosed.
