In August 2015, Millie Bobby Brown was cast as Eleven in Stranger Things, the supernatural series created by Matt and Ross Duffer. Filming began in November when she was just 11—she turned 12 the following February.
In an NPR interview, the Duffer brothers praised Millie’s rare talent, noting her ability to adjust her performance for the camera with a skill beyond her years. Still, they recalled lighthearted moments that revealed her youth, like the time she arrived on set mysteriously covered in glitter, delaying filming by 45 minutes—a contrast to their adult cast members like David Harbour.
