Millie Bobby Brown, the young actress known for her standout role in the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things,” is prepared to bid adieu to the supernatural show. In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, Brown candidly shared her eagerness to move on from the beloved series, citing her desire to pursue projects that truly resonate with her.
The 17-year-old actress, who has grown up on screen playing Eleven, offered insights into her feelings about the forthcoming final season of “Stranger Things.” She remarked, “When you’re ready, you’re like, ‘All right, let’s do this. Let’s tackle this last senior year. Let’s get out of here.'”
Millie Bobby Brown went on to explain the motivation behind her wish to swiftly conclude the iconic series. She emphasized that the extensive time commitment required for filming “Stranger Things” has hindered her from pursuing creative endeavors that hold a special place in her heart.
In the interview, Brown reassured fans that life after the show’s conclusion would still allow her to maintain connections with the cast and crew, noting that “no one is dying” as a result of the series ending.
Beyond her thoughts on “Stranger Things,” the actress also opened up about facing criticism during her earlier years in the entertainment industry. She reflected on being labeled as talkative and overly outspoken at the age of 13, particularly during press tours where she occasionally talked over her co-stars.
Recalling these experiences, Brown shared, “We’re kids — we talk over each other. I was just penalized for over-talking and oversharing and being too loud.” She discussed the emotional impact of these criticisms, saying, “It’s hard to hear that at 13. You’re like, ‘I don’t want to ever talk again. I don’t want to be the loud person.'”
“In interviews, I couldn’t help but think of all the comments. So I just remembered to stay silent and speak when I was spoken to, even though I was dying to join in. I just felt it wasn’t my turn,” she added.
As fans eagerly await the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” it’s worth noting that production for the series is set to commence once the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved. Millie Bobby Brown’s candid remarks offer a glimpse into her evolving career aspirations, the challenges she has faced, and her journey as a young actress navigating the complexities of fame and passion.
