Stranger Things season four part two has had us feeling *all* the emotions, and it sounds as though things got just as teary off camera as they did on screen.

While the cast seemed to enjoy plenty of wholesome moments during filming (with a bunch of sweet BTS pics to prove it), it turns out there were some less-than-happy moments on set too.

The latest set anecdote comes from Vecna/One actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who has revealed exactly what went down when he made Millie Bobby Brown cry during production. *Spoilers ahead*.

Of course, if you've watched any of Stranger Things S4, you'll know that Jamie's character Vecna can get *pretty* scary at times. Yep, not for the faint-hearted. And despite being, ya know, used to the monsters of the Upside Down and all that, Jamie has revealed that co-star Millie was still brought to tears over one terrifying Vecna encounter.

Explaining the moment he made Millie actually cry on set, Jamie told Variety, "They brought her up into a position where she’s bound. I walked up to her [as Vecna] and she burst into tears."

He went on, "She wouldn’t look at me and she was visibly just disgusted by the whole thing."

However, it seems the tears were resolved fairly quickly once Millie realised it was indeed Jamie hidden underneath all that Vecna makeup. The actor explained, "After she cried and I made it obvious that she knew it was me, one of the things she said was that, 'I knew it was you when I could smell cigarettes,' because I’m a smoker."

All's well that ends well, then?

Still, Millie's shocked tears over Vecna might not have come as *that* much of a surprise to the rest of the cast. Co-stars Sadie Sink, Priah Ferguson and Caleb McLaughlin previously dubbed Millie the cast member who gets most scared watching a horror film in an interview with Cosmopolitan UK. So, hey, maybe this one was pretty expected then?
