Most teenagers in Hollywood go through a painful and awkward phase, but Millie Bobby Brown is no ordinary teenager. The star rose to fame playing Little Eleven in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things. Coincidentally, she was also 11 when she auditioned for the role. Keep a buzz cut, and become a high-profile luxury designers favorite

She's been hailed as an icon of her generation by magazines, brushed up against fashion guru Anna Wintour, and launched campaigns with well-known brands. Seriously, few people will receive a personal letter on their birthday from Marc Jacobs. The actress celebrated her 17th birthday in February 2021 with a more mature style and sleek back, Breaking some of her own fashion rules, here's a closer look at her amazing transformation

Brown's eleven years old

Most of us know her from Stranger Things, but before Millie Bobby Brown took on the role, she had appeared on TV shows like Homers, Modern Family, and Grey's Anatomy. Shaving her head was a bold move for the young star, but with the help of Charlize Theron before her, Brown described shaving her head as one of the most glorious moments of her life. The only image she could conjure up was Charlize Theron from Mad Max. During the process, Brown's father reportedly broke down in tears

A role model for teenagers

"I never wanted to be a role model," Brown said. "I was only 17 years old." Being famous at a young age definitely distorts a child's sense of reality and their sense of right and wrong. But all young people make mistakes. The only difference was that her experience had dire consequences, potentially affecting her career, health and reputation

Of Brown's future superstardom, David Harbour, who plays the police chief in Stranger Things, said: "I never worried about Brown's future because I knew when I was in a nursing home and I could watch movies with her in her 30s, she had the potential to be Meryl Streep."

Brown is addicted to acting

Even though Brown is only a teenager, she knows she has a lot on her plate. In addition to playing the lead role in Stranger Things, Brown also starred in the movie Godzilla 2 with Vera Farmiga and the just-released Godzilla vs. King Kong with Alexander Skarsgard. She spoke about her workaholic behavior in a 2021 interview, saying, "When I go on set, it's not just because I love what I do, I love meeting new people."

Friendship across the ages

Through the ups and downs that come with fame, Millie Bobby Brown had a very supportive friend who allowed her to rely not only on her parents, but also on her Stranger Things co-stars during difficult times in her career. In January 2018, co-star David Harbour opened up to Hollywood about his special friendship with Brown, saying, "I never had a daughter, I don't have children, so I get a sense of fatherhood from Brown that I rarely get in my life outside of cats."

Brown says it's all about confidence

We're all familiar with the obvious wig worn by Eleven in the first season of Stranger Things. Brown said her mother didn't like her crew cut and made her wear a wig. She said that before her hair grew out, people would think she was sick or say really nasty things, and while those words hurt, their attitude also taught her compassion, adding, "Shaving my head changed my life, and now that's my message to the world." She kept her hair short until season 2 of Stranger Things, saying it gave her more confidence

Brown met his true love when he was only fourteen

Millie Bobby Brown's pre-adult ability to have a personal platform without violating her terms of service is surely what she used to grab the attention of her fans and secretly announce her relationship with Sartorius through a series of comments and likes. Three months after they first met in October 2017, Brown claims, Brown posted a photo holding a giant teddy bear with the words thank you teddy bear and a red heart emoji, and Sartorius replied with another heart emoji

Sartorius also spent New Year's Eve with Brown's family, which, in other words, has approved of the boy boyfriend's existence

Brown declares his love at Sartorius' concert

Then again, when Millie Bobby Brown knew Sartorius was cheating, she deleted all of his messages from her social accounts, but it only took a week for Brown to post a cute photo again, thus announcing the reconciliation. Brown apparently went the extra mile for the man she loved, and on Valentine's Day 2018, Brown broke into a Salt Lake City restaurant, Sartorius appeared on stage in the middle of her set and begged fans to show their support for her boyfriend, even saying "I love you" to make the crowd think Brown looked like a little devil

Summer love ended so quickly

Their teenage romance ended so quickly that Brown and Sartorius had only been dating for seven months when they decided to break up for good, Posting a joint message in Gen-Z fashion that read, "We're still friends." Even so, Brown wasn't perturbed by their breakup. Just days before they went public with their split, Brown sang Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" to fans on the platform, and it's unclear whether the couple's split was triggered by rapper Drake, who has said it's perfectly fine to date Brown
