5 lesser-known facts about 20-year-old Millie Bobby Brown

Brown was born in Marbella, Spain, in 2004 to Robert and Kelly Brown before the family moved to England in 2008. Realizing Millie’s affinity towards performance arts, her family gave it their all to help her dream come true. The Browns sold all their belongings in England and moved to the States for Millie.

However, finding success in the cutthroat world of Hollywood was not easy and took a toll on the family, both physically and mentally. As the family almost went broke and their eldest daughter left home, Millie was ready to give up her acting career. Luckily, she auditioned for Stranger Things back in England and got cast in the role of Eleven:

“I felt at one point I couldn’t do it [anymore], but then I got this and everything changed.”

3) Millie Bobby Brown is multi-talented

Millie Bobby Brown is truly blessed with many talents. Having a successful acting career in her teens was just the first step for multi-talented Millie, who became the youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF in 2018 at the age of 14. She has been fighting for children’s rights across the world ever since.

Brown is also fluent in the art of rapping. The audience first caught a glimpse of her rapping prowess during her performance of Nicki Minaj’s Monster on The Tonight Show while promoting Stranger Things Season 1.

Millie later returned to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the following year to talk about Season 2 of the show and dropped some sick verses to recap the events of the first season.

4) Millie’s first-ever kiss was with Finn Wolfhard

Millie Bobby Brown was the youngest member of the Stranger Things cast, being just 13 years old when she first played the character of Eleven in Season 1. Hence, it is understandable that many of the character’s firsts and Millie’s firsts coincide.
