Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about her journey from a young actress to a global star, revealing how her mindset changed as she grew older in the entertainment industry.
The Stranger Things actress, who started acting at just nine years old, said she felt more confident and fearless during the early stages of her career because she was focused only on enjoying the experience.
In a conversation with her Enola Holmes co-star Louis Partridge for Interview Magazine, Brown reflected on how different she felt before fame brought greater expectations and pressure.
“I really wish sometimes I could feel the way I felt when I acted when I was under 14,” Brown shared, explaining that she was not concerned about outside opinions or industry pressures at that time.Taylor Swift, Blake Lively Friendship Fallout Sparks Wedding Snub Debate

Brown also opened up about the emotional impact of playing Eleven in Stranger Things, a role that defined much of her career from 2016 to 2025.
