Now that the final season of Stranger Things is knocking at the door, fans are watching every cast moment like hawks. And lately, the internet has been buzzing about a possible silent drama between Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown. While the duo has been in tabloids for ages, it’s their respective interviews and small comments that have led fans to think Ryder might not be too friendly with Brown.
Turns out, after two interviews with Winona Ryder, the internet is now buzzing with talk of a secret feud. Some believe the two stars are not as close as everyone thought, while others think it’s all just a harmless misunderstanding.
However, overall, these minor moments have evolved into significant online rumors and sparked questions about whether the ladies of Hawkins are actually experiencing tension behind the scenes.
The table contains basic details on Stranger Things:
Winona Ryder Avoids Naming Millie Bobby Brown, Sparking Rumors of Silent Feud
Well, it seems that the whole Cold War rumor started after Winona Ryder spoke with Esquire about the show and forgot to mention Millie Bobby Brown. Despite the 21-year-old being the lead actress of the Netflix series, when Ryder named almost every young star and yet overlooked Brown, fans wondered if something was going on behind the scenes.
Ten years! I never thought. [At first] I was like, ‘I don’t want to be doing this when I’m in my fifties!’ It’s nuts, and it’s extra nuts to be my age. But I love the boys and I love [the actors] Sadie [Sink] and Maya [Hawke]. It’s been really wonderful.
As Winona Ryder praised many cast members, including Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, and the boys, her silence about Millie Bobby Brown felt odd to fans. However, they soon realized it wasn’t just a one-time thing either. In another interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Ryder again listed almost everyone she’ll miss after the show, but didn’t bring up Brown’s name.
I will miss Finn, Charlie, Joe, Noah, Sadie, Maya, obviously Gaten, and Caleb. I feel like I have learned so much from them.
After two separate interviews where she failed to mention Millie Bobby Brown, fans began wondering if she had purposely skipped the 21-year-old’s name. Especially since Ryder had a history of allegedly shading Brown over her comments about not being really into movies, remember, when Brown told The Sun that she often asks “How long do I have to sit” to watch a film?
Turns out, after this comment from the 21-year-old star, Winona Ryder had responded in a LA Times interview, expressing her frustration with young actors who don’t appreciate cinema. She said, “I don’t mean to sound so hopeless, there are a few that are just not interested in movies. Like, the first thing they say is, ‘How long is it?’”
So naturally, after such rumored shade, people on social media turned into detectives, wondering if it was a misunderstanding or a deliberate disregard.
Stranger Things Cold War Heats Up As Millie Bobby Brown Responds
But really, is there a feud happening between Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown, or are fans just overthinking? Well, if you ask Brown, she might have nothing but praise for Ryder, despite netizens twisting every interview and dissecting every word that comes out of the veteran actress’ mouth.
No, really, during a podcast featuring Millie Bobby Brown that popped up on X, the 21-year-old seemed to speak very fondly about Winona Ryder, calling her funny, warm, and someone who makes her laugh a lot on set. Naturally, this comment came as a surprise to people who believed there was tension.
For me personally, like Noni makes me, Winona makes me laugh. Because she’s just so wholesome. Sometimes like she makes me chuckle.
The young star explained how Ryder often brings joy to the set during filming and even called her “Noni,” a cute nickname. This friendly tone did not match the internet’s theory of a silent feud at all. Instead, it sounded like Brown truly admired Ryder and enjoyed working with her. Perhaps fans need to start rethinking the rumors and refocus on the final season of Stranger Things.
