Matthew Modine, a legendary actor renowned for his portrayal of Dr. Martin Brenner in the hit series "Stranger Things," has recently opened up about his bond with the lead actress, Millie Bobby Brown. The 66-year-old icon revealed that he had always sensed that Millie was destined for superstardom.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Matthew reminisced, "On the very first day I met Millie, she was just 11 years old. There she was, sitting in that tiny cell [that represented her character's confines], and everyone around her was buzzing with excitement. They couldn't wait to introduce me to her, to work alongside this tiny dynamo. She was a mesmerizing blend of magic, professionalism, maturity, and childlike wonder. You know that saying, 'She's got it'? Well, when I saw her at 11, I thought, 'Wow, this little girl truly has something special.'"
Matthew further shared that the "friendship" he forged with Millie is a treasure he will cherish forever, even as "Stranger Things" draws to a close later this year. He said, "It all started and revolves around Millie. I first met her when she was just 11, on the set of the show. I fell in love with that innocent, young girl. She is incredibly focused, determined, and intelligent. This friendship is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life," he continued, his words brimming with affection and admiration.
