Just Days After Failing the Suspect Challenge, Millie Bobby Brown Finally Tries a Trend Right With Husband Jake Bongiovi

Published 01/03/2025, 8:04 PM EST

Millie Bobby Brown has made it pretty clear over the years that keeping up with TikTok trends is not exactly her strong suit- something you might not expect from a 20-year-old. Even so, the actress, who stepped back from social media—and her phone altogether—after skyrocketing to fame at a young age, still finds ways to connect with her Gen Z fanbase through occasional fun and quirky posts. This time, she even roped in her husband, Jake Bongiovi.

The couple decided to give the latest TikTok craze a go—the viral chocolate trend. And unlike some of her previous attempts, Brown actually nailed it this time.

There is a pistachio-filled chocolate bar from Dubai that has been going viral on social media lately. These bars are like KitKats but with a fancy twist—they are loaded with pistachio nuts and creamy, aromatic pistachio nougat. Naturally, people all over the world are jumping on the trend to see what the hype is about, including Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi. The couple shared a fun video of themselves trying out not just one but five of the chocolate bars. And it is safe to say, they seemed to enjoy every bite.

Bongiovi even joked about taking all the chocolates home and eating them in one sitting, no matter how sick he might feel the next morning. It became a lighthearted and sweet moment, especially after Brown’s less-than-successful attempt at another TikTok challenge, the Suspect Challenge. But while she might not be a TikTok pro, the actress has definitely mastered the art of shutting down her online haters.

Once again, Millie Bobby Brown found herself in the crosshairs of online trolls. This time, the backlash came after she shared a heartwarming end-of-year video on Instagram. The montage included never-before-seen clips from her wedding and a peek at her gorgeous wedding dresses. It was a sweet way to close out 2024, but the trolls did not let it remain sweet for long.  After Brown followed up with some mirror selfies, her comments section exploded with harsh criticism.

People started nitpicking her appearance, claiming she looked older than her age. The backlash got so intense that Brown decided to hit back. She posted a bold response on her Instagram Stories— “Women grow!!” she wrote. “Not sorry about it :)” It was the perfect mic-drop moment to silence her critics. And it is moments like this that make you realize why she keeps her distance from social media. Sure, it might mean she is a little out of touch with trends and viral challenges, but it is still a small price to pay for some peace of mind.
