In the fiction of the Duffer brothers, she brilliantly embodies the character of Eleven, one of the main heroines. The actress is also singera passion she exercises in her spare time despite a severe handicap from which she has suffered since birth.
Millie Bobby Brown reflects on the negatives of early stardom
Since 2016, Millie Bobby Brown embodies the character of Eleven in the series Stranger Things, streaming on Netflix. Between May 27 and July 1, the streaming giant unveiled the fourth season of the Duffer brothers’ show. The opportunity to find the actress, now of age, in the skin of the former patient of Dr. Brenner. When she debuted on the program, Millie Bobby Brown was only 12 years old. A particularly early age to be elevated to the rank of the star… The actress had to face the pros and cons of fame. If she can only be delighted to see her salaries increase over the seasons, Millie Bobby Brown has also suffered a lot from online harassmentbut also of some fans who followed her to the places of the film sets.
“The past few years have not been easy, I admit. There are times when inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization and gratuitous insults have caused me pain and a lack of confidence. in me frustrate me”, she wrote on her Instagram account the year of her 16th birthday. If Millie Bobby Brown confirmed her acting skills in Stranger Thingsshe had already appeared in Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters. In parallel with the Netflix fiction, she also played in the adaptation of the literary series The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer, also available on the streaming platform. Soon, we will find her headlining The Electric State by the Russo Brothers, an adaptation of the graphic novel The Electric State de Simon Stålenhag.
This heavy handicap suffered by Millie Bobby Brown
If Millie Bobby Brown fans were able to find out her talent as an actress through her many rolesthe Netflix star is also singer in her spare time. Several times, she grabbed a microphone on television sets to perform rap songs. Millie Bobby Brown has never makes his handicap a hindrance, although it has gotten worse over the years. Indeed, the actress had revealed to Variety in 2017 to be born with partial deafness in one ear. Now she has totally lost her hearing on that side. However, she found a way to compensate for her handicap: “You can talk with your face. It’s very easy for someone to say ‘I’m pissed off. I’m sad. I’m angry’. I do it with my face.”
She admits not always hear the director shout “action” on film setsbut this partial hearing loss will not shake the confidence of the actress who also loves to sing: “If I sing out of tune, I don’t care, because I like to sing. You don’t have to have a nice voice. You don’t have to know how to dance or sing. If you really like to do it, if it’s really a passion, do it. No one should stop you.”
Stranger Things season 5: what to expect
Eleven will be back in season 5 of Stranger Things, the final chapter of the series. The Duffer brothers confirmed that the action will take place mainly in Hawkins, with, of course, many scenes in the Upside Down. “Season 4 was interesting for us because everyone was scattered. That’s what makes this season unique. Now that they’re back together again, we’re going to explore some of the dynamics from Season 1 again, but at a more large scale”, did they explain to Collider.
As we saw at the end of the previous season, the Upside Down and the real world are now one. For now, the ambitions of Vecna, presented as the worst monster in the history of the series, are still unclear. We imagine that its purpose is to control Hawkins and make it his kingdom. According to Jamie Campbell Bower, his interpreter, his character seems to have a vision of the human species of his own that he wants to return “a thousand times better”as he reveals to TVLine: “His experience led him to believe – in fact, to know, not necessarily to believe – that individuals were fake and that this world was made up of liars. He really, really wants to change that for a better world.” For now, the release date of season 5 of Stranger Things has not been communicated, but it is to be expected a shorter sequel. The Duffer brothers will then develop a spin-off series, while Netflix is working on a theatrical adaptation and unveils on July 14 a collection of NFTs around the characters of Stranger Things.
