Millie Bobby Brown is best known for her role in the science fiction thriller drama series, Stranger Things. And John Cena brought the world to the wrestling ring every time he stepped into it. The two do not seem like people who you would find in the same room unless the room is for presidential candidates and the internet is voting. However, you can always count on Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards to pack the best of both worlds, which is exactly what they did when they got John Cena to host the award show in 2018.

Being who he is, the wrestler set the mood right off the bat. While Cena made sure that not a second goes by where the audience does not enjoy themselves, he also shed light on a very important issue while hosting the award show. Millie Bobby Brown followed this suit during her acceptance speech.

The wrestler-turned-actor, although strayed away from mentioning guns, cheered on for all the kids taking charge. “Change is only possible when we all work together. And it’s so inspiring to see kids take charge!John Cena said as reported by Vulture.

This is for you.” Furthermore, the actress even wore a t-shirt with the names of the victims on the back. No wonder Brown is praised by the audiences and Hollywood alike for her sensibility.
