Millie Bobby Brown’s Stranger Things co-star Finn Wolfhard has reassured fans his colleague is on the mend after she broke her kneecap recently.

That Eleven sure has a good support network.

After shattering her knee, the 14-year-old actress was forced to cancel her appearance at the MTV Movie and TV Awards on Saturday night, instead appearing via video link.

Now, Finn – who plays Mike to Millie’s Eleven – said his mate is in ‘great spirits’ despite the painful injury.


Asked for an update on Millie, Finn, 15, told Entertainment Tonight: ‘She’s in high spirits… it’s a gnarly picture.’

Their co-star Sadie Sink said the actress should be on the mend ‘really soon’: ‘She’s gonna get better really soon. Unfortunately, she hurt her knee. I think she slipped, it wasn’t on set but she fractured her knee. But she’s getting better.’

Noah Schnapp added they’re doing their best to keep her smiling on set, as they’ve sent her ‘a lot of videos and cards and stuff.’

Over the weekend Millie revealed she’d broken her knee, which she described was the first time she’d broken a bone.

In an Instagram video she said: ‘Another milestone in my life, I’ve never actually broken a bone.

‘I have split my knee cap so from the doctor’s orders, he told me to rest up and that means I won’t be attending the MTV Awards.’

She added: ‘I hope that Finn, Gaten, Caleb, Sadie and Noah have the best time. I love them so dearly and I wish them the best, and I’m sending my luck with you. I’ll be there in spirit.’

Last year, Millie – who recently quit Twitter after becoming the subject of homophobic memes – was nominated for Best Actor in a Show, as well as Best Kiss.

Here’s hoping Eleven is channeling some of those telekinetic powers into mending her leg – if that’s something she can even do.
