Matthew Modine did not buy a wedding gift for his \u2018Stranger Things\u2019 co-star Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old \u2018Full Metal Jacket\u2019 actor instead gave the actress, 21, what he considered a more meaningful gift \u2013 officiating her wedding to Jake, 22, when the couple married in a lavish ceremony in Italy in October 2024, four months after exchanging vows in a private, low-key ceremony.<\/p>\n
Matthew told Page Six about his gift policy: \u201cShe doesn\u2019t need anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added he chose not to give a present because he believes material possessions hold little value. <\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThings give you no gratification.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nAnd referencing the US Constitution\u2019s phrase \u201cthe pursuit of happiness,\u201d he added: \u201cHappiness isn\u2019t about accumulating presents but about trying to be kind and being the best citizen you can be.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPresiding over Millie\u2019s marriage was a special experience for Matthew, who was later overheard sharing details with celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa. <\/p>\n
\nA source told Page Six: \u201cHe let him know he\u2019d just gotten back from Italy, and how much fun he had doing it. He seemed really proud, and into it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMatthew, who played Dr Martin Brenner \u2013 nicknamed \u2018Papa\u2019 \u2013 on \u2018Stranger Things\u2019, has previously spoken about his close relationship with Millie.<\/p>\n
\nHe told The Times: \u201cThere\u2019s ups and downs in a career. I\u2019ve had conversations with Millie and the others. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI try to help them understand they are on a rollercoaster. And the higher you go in your career, the more that drop will feel really, really frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe also described his bond with the actress as \u201ca friendship I will carry with me for the rest of my life\u201d in a People interview in 2024.<\/p>\n
\nOutside of \u2018Stranger Things\u2019, Matthew has been working on new projects, including his role as a corrupt senator in \u2018Zero Day\u2019. <\/p>\n
\nThe Netflix political thriller also stars Robert De Niro, Joan Allen, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton and Lizzy Caplan.<\/p>\n
