Millie Bobby Brown Admits Going 'Insane' While Filming Stranger Things Finale

As fans eagerly await the premiere of Stranger Things Season 5, the show's star Millie Bobby Brown has made a surprising confession about her experience filming the final episodes. In a recent interview, Brown revealed that after playing the role of Eleven for nearly a decade, she found herself "going a bit insane" while trying to come up with new ways to showcase her character's signature telekinetic abilities.

The actress explained that after so many years of portraying the same character in heightened situations, she reached a point where she simply couldn't think of fresh approaches to Eleven's iconic hand gestures and movements. In fact, Brown admitted she even wanted to try something "definitely weird" during production, though her co-stars ultimately talked her out of it.

Stranger Things has been a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2016, and the upcoming fifth season will mark the end of the Hawkins crew's adventures. With emotions running high for both the cast and devoted viewers, it's understandable that the pressure to deliver a satisfying conclusion would take a toll. Nevertheless, Brown's candid admission about her "insane" ideas for Eleven provides a unique glimpse into the challenges of bringing such an iconic character to life one final time.
