Who hasn’t heard of Millie Bobby Brown?
Starting out in drama workshops up and down the country, the English actress was scouted by a Hollywood talent agent who told her parents she could “mix it with the best kids in Hollywood.”
Millie and her parents then moved to Florida, where Millie enrolled in stage school.
She made appearances in well-known TV programs including, Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy.
And in 2016, she landed her life-changing role in Stranger Things.
Starring as Eleven, a telekinetic prisoner who becomes obsessed with a snack called Eggo, the teen has undoubtedly found the most global success from the show.
It’s here that Millie found her footing in the industry.
And young Millie’s role as Eleven has well and truly rocketed her to stardom.
But it hasn’t always been easy, being thrust into the spotlight so young…
The problem with becoming “famous” is that you have to give up privacy. You’re forced to watch your life unfold in a way that you could never imagine, with false news being spread about yourself as well as the people around you.
Unwanted media attention is difficult for anybody, let alone a young girl…
The media scrutinizes anyone they can, spreading lies or false rumors, about even young children, just to sell a story.
It’s the worst aspect of becoming a celebrity and Millie Bobby Brown has obviously become a victim of the press.
One of the many things Millie has been criticized for is her male friends…
Or, as some people claimed, her relationships.
Millie was repeatedly seen hanging out with men much older than her which left fans unsettled.
One of them being Drake…
Drake was slammed for hanging out with the teenager on many occasions. Obviously, some think it was completely innocent but one of his “supposed” girlfriends was an eighteen-year-old model, who Drake first came into contact with when she was only sixteen and he was twenty-nine. Yikes.
And just recently the star opened up about a marriage pact with one of her co-stars…
You read that right – a marriage pact.

She’s also faced criticism for her clothing choices…
There’s no denying that Millie doesn’t dress like a normal teenager because, let’s face it, what sixteen-year-old wears Gucci heels with a custom Louis Vuitton gown??
However, that shouldn’t result in bad press…
Millie’s wardrobe choices have absolutely nothing to do with anyone else!
Yes, she may look a lot older than sixteen…
But what do you expect when a young girl is living in Hollywood and is hanging out with some of the most famous people in the world?!
She opened up about the pressures she faced in an Instagram post back when she was sixteen, saying: “The last few years haven’t been easy, I’ll admit that.
“There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me.”
Over the last few years, Millie has taken on a whole new look and more mature personality…
According to recent reports, she claimed she wanted to show everyone “what it’s like being a woman of her age.”
“I would really enjoy wearing more fitted clothes now,” she said.
“I feel like I’m becoming someone and being a woman so I just want to show that. I think about the girls who are going to look at the picture, those young girls that are going to look at me, and if they think, ‘Wow that’s what I should dress up as’.”
But despite being in the spotlight, there are some things about her most wouldn’t know…
One being that Millie is actually deaf in one ear!
She told she told W magazine in 2017: “I wanted to be a singer when I was three.”
Explaining that she “just started to, like, train myself.”
I think we can all remember when she impressed us by rapping Nicki Minaj’s section in Kanye West’s Monster on Jimmy Fallon in 2016.
It’s clear she has quite the vocal range, so the fact she was “born with partial loss of hearing” and is now deaf in one ear is pretty crazy!
And it’s definitely not held her back.
“I just started to sing,” she told Variety, “and if I sound bad I don’t care, because I’m just doing what I love.”
She added: “You don’t have to be good at singing,” she said. “If you like to do it if you genuinely enjoy doing it, then do it. No one should stop you.”
That’s some wise words, don’t you think?
But coming back to the “marriage pact,”apparently the actress made a deal with her co-star Noah Schnapp and said that if they were single at the age of 40, they would definitely get hitched.
Can you believe that?
“We said if we’re not married by 40, we’ll get married together because we’d be good roomies,” confessed the actress.
However, the actress even predicted that both of them will be single in the next 20 years – and also pointed out some pretty important conditions of the pact.
“Completely platonically, we would still be really good roomies. No kids, though, because I could not deal with a child of yours… yeah, that’s my dealbreaker too,” the actress told the LADbible.
And hear this, Noah Schnapp agreed with the pact…
“Yeah, no kids at all. Only dogs… and separate bedrooms, for sure – my God, you’re so messy,” said the actor.
Well, what do you think?
