Millie Bobby Brown revealed the prank she got the whole Stranger Things crew to play on her co-star Noah Schnapp.
The 18-year-old actress, who has been on Stranger Things since she was a little girl, dished the dirt during her latest shot on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
‘Well, he’s the biggest prankster of them all,’ she said. ‘I too am pretty bad but he, he goes to great extents so we thought as a crew that we needed to get him back.’

Side by side: ‘Well, he’s the biggest prankster of them all,’ she said of Noah, whom she is pictured with at FYSEE in Los Angeles in 2018
Millie remembered: ‘So it was 4am, we were in New Mexico, we were on set and it was the last night of shooting.’
She and the crew ‘thought: “What better way to get him than to get him to base camp?” and we had trash bins filled with water balloons all around, and we turned all the lights off at base camp.’
At that point Millie rang up her pal and began ‘crying: “Noah, I’m just so upset that, you know, you’re not here to say goodbye to me. Please just come back to base camp. I’m leaving now.” “Okay, Mill, okay, I’ll be there!”‘
Jimmy began lapsing into his typical raucous laughter as Millie continued: ‘He gets to base camp, I’m like: “Noah, I got you a present, you know.”

Influences: While chatting with Jimmy she confirmed that she had adopted her American accent for Stranger Things from the series Hannah Montana starring Miley Cyrus
She spilled: ‘And I get him in the middle of the car park and all of us, about 20 people, raid him, absolutely invade him and it’s bad. It was bad.’
Noah evidently gave as good as he got, becoming ‘really aggressive’ to the point Millie thought: ‘My God, I’m a girl!’ she quipped.
He continued to be pelted with water balloons for about ’15 minutes,’ and now Millie confessed that ‘when I see him I’m like terrified’ that he will try to get her back.
Millie also furnished Jimmy with an on-set video of her and Noah competing against each other in the Fruit-By-The-Foot challenge.

Yum: During her sit-down with Jimmy she challenged the talk-show host to the same game, and she fairly easily won that round as well
The game requires the players to compete on who can gobble up a Fruit-By-The-Foot fastest – and Millie handily beat Noah.
During her sit-down with Jimmy she challenged the talk-show host to the same game, and she fairly easily won that round as well.
While chatting with Jimmy she confirmed that she had adopted her American accent for Stranger Things from the series Hannah Montana starring Miley Cyrus.
‘Yeah, because I watched Bugsy Malone and Godfather when I was like eight,’ she remembered, sharing that ‘my parents were like, you know, watching all these movies with me and I was like: “Yeah, but Hannah Montana’s like, Oscar nominating, like it’s so good.” Hannah Montana’s the best!’
Hard at work: Part one of the fourth season of Stranger Things will be bowing on Netflix on Friday of next week, so Millie has been doing the publicity rounds to promote it
Facing off: Millie’s big interview segment was preceded by a game called Box Of Lies where she and Jimmy had to successfully deceive each other about the knick-knacks they found
She effervesced: ‘Like the film, everything. Everything about it is amazing and I got the American accent, so I would’ – she lapsed into an American accent – ‘always literally just be like: “Hi, like, you know, how are you, Jimmy?”‘
While watching movies ‘I like to see characters and then I just do the accent. As long as I’ve watched it for long enough, I can kind of get it to somewhat of a t,’ she said.
At the moment she has been watching the show Inventing Anna, in which Julia Garner plays Anna Sorokin, who posed as made-up German heiress Anna Delvey.
At one point Millie was at her hotel and was informed her credit card needed to be run again, to which she replied imperiously in Julia’s fake-German Anna Delvey accent: ‘Run it again! It must be in your system!’

Millie can even impersonate her Stranger Things co-star Winona Ryder, and occasionally reenacts one of her scenes with Noah.
While on the show Millie demonstrated how expertly she can mimic Winona’s line: ‘I am here, I am coming to find you, honey!’ – a line she says to Noah on the program.
At the moment Millie is in a swirl of romance rumors with Jon Bon Jovi’s 20-year-old son Jake, with whom she was seen stepping out to dinner after her Fallon taping.
