Millie Bobby Brown addressed backlash for supposedly faking an American accent

The British actress made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March 2024, where many believed that the performer had lost her prominent British accent. She subsequently became a victim of backlash, where critics stated that she was trying to sound "more American" as per Hello!.

In response to the same, Millie Bobby Brown in a TikTok stated:

“I’m an actor. I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in America. I come to set and I’m an actor and I adapt, and so I want to mimic other people! I can’t help that when I’m around my fiance, or when I’m with people like Jimmy Fallon who have a very American accent, I wanna replicate it. And now I’m in England, I wanna replicate that! I don’t do it intentally.”

Back in 2022, the actress also addressed trolls who commented on her appearance. She revealed on The Guilty Feminist podcast in April of the same year that she was jarred by the sudden change in people seemingly s*xualizing her as she turned 18 years old. She said:

“But it’s gross and it’s true. I think it’s just a very good representation of what’s going on in the world and how young girls are s*xualized. And so I have been dealing with that, but also have been dealing with that forever.”
