Millie Bobby Brown: Childhood Fame Hinders Social Skills
30 Jun
Summary
- Brown finds it hard to connect with peers her age.
- She grew up with mostly older male crew members.
- Brown can discuss film technicalities but not typical young adult topics.
Millie Bobby Brown, the acclaimed actress from 'Stranger Things,' has recently spoken about the social challenges she faces. Due to her early immersion in the entertainment industry, Brown finds connecting with peers her own age difficult.
Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast on June 29, she noted that her unique upbringing, which excluded traditional schooling, impacted her social development. Brown explained that she often worked with male crew members who were over 40 years old.
This environment meant her conversations often centered on technical film aspects like lens changes and shots, rather than typical adolescent interests. Consequently, she feels a disconnect when interacting with others in their early twenties. Brown's notable career began with 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' in 2013, followed by global fame as Eleven in 'Stranger Things' from 2016 to 2025.
