There have only been very few shows that captured the minds and hearts of people like Stranger Things. One of the main stars on the show is Millie Bobby Brown, who received a lot of praise for her acting skills. She was 12 when the show premiered back in 2016. Six years later, she is one of the most influential actresses of her generation. And this influential actress loves the most influential soccer player of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard. 

Gerrard led Liverpool during their rebuilding stages and has a huge fan following. Although he failed to win the Premier League, his heart-throbbing performances in the core of the midfield received a lot of adulation from supporters. Therefore, Millie recently confessed her love for the sensational midfield dynamo of the Liverpool soccer club. 

Stranger Things’ leading actress loves Stevie G

During an episode of the famous Vanity Fair Lie Detector Test, the interviewer discussed various numbers with Millie Bobby Brown. Having a tattoo of the number 011 on her wrist, the interviewer asked, “Are there any other numbers you want to be associated with instead?” She replied, “Eight.” To this, the host questioned, “Why?”

And she gave an answer that reflects how much she admires The Reds’ legend. She commented, “It’s my favorite soccer team player, Steven Gerrard.” Millie had earlier opened up about her love for Liverpool because of her family back in 2017.

According to the Daily Star, she said, “My family have been supporters and big fans since I was very young so I gradually started to love them and watch the games. My brother played a big part in it. When he started telling me about Steven Gerrard when he was playing I started falling in love with it! So it was a big moment in my life.”

Gerrard is a living legend

From running down the streets of Anfield, Gerrard spent nine seasons in Liverpool’s youth academy. From there, he climbed up to the top of the squad and placed himself in the center of the midfield. The qualities he possessed were ridiculous.

He could bang in some long-range crackers, commit to bone-crunching tackles, and would spot with his eyes closed. He could do it all. The 2005 Champions League final saw Gerrard elevating himself to greater heights. 

The Liverpool team was losing 3-0 to AC Milan, but Gerrard inspired the team to tie up the game 3-3. After that, they won the penalty shoot-out to win another European Champions Cup. Since then, he turned into a mini-god in the city. It’s not a surprise to see people loving him because Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest English soccer players of all time.
