Millie Bobby Brown’s rise to fame is a tale Netflix subscribers know all too well. As the breakout star of Stranger Things, she cemented her place in the Upside Down and simultaneously, within the pop culture consciousness. But when a star shines that bright, the smallest details of their past flicker into view. Long before Hawkins, Indiana, Brown may have already tested the waters of showbiz, perhaps in Hell’s Kitchen.

Yet, knowing showbiz fuels itself in rumor mills, here is the scoop on whether Brown actually stirred the drama in Gordon Ramsay’s fiery domain before battling demogorgons left and right.

Millie Bobby Brown may have earned her place in popular culture from Stranger Things, but her portfolio dates way back. Having guest appeared on shows like Modern Family, and Grey’s Anatomy, Brown touched down in showbiz long before Vecna spread his tendrils. But a few years ago, a resurfaced TikTok clip showed 10-year-old Brown making a cameo in Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen season 15 two years before she crash-landed in Upside Down. 

In the clip, Brown was seen flexing her British accent, followed by an impressive attempt at her American tone. She went by Millie Brown in 2016 and was introduced as an actor who appeared in Intruders by then on the show. The video snippet shows her ordering a toasted cheese sandwich, eventually sparking a delightful interaction with the restaurant patron. Although Brown did not confront Ramsay in the clip, it is a prime reminder of how long Brown has been in Hollywood.

Although it may have been a lesser-known fact, it is not exactly a surprise, considering Millie Bobby Brown was steadily making her way in Tinseltown.

It is wild to think that Millie Bobby Brown is married, especially for fans who have watched her on Stranger Things from day one. But what is even crazier to imagine is she had a showbiz career before Netflix, starting all the way back in 2013. Brown’s acting debut as a guest star was in the ABC fantasy drama show, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, where she portrayed young Alice. In 2014, she starred in Intruders as Madison O’Donnell.

Following these, Brown appeared in the critically acclaimed procedural drama NCIS, but only in a guest capacity. After this, the Netflix star also guest appeared in the ABC sitcom Modern Family and the ABC medical drama series Grey’s Anatomy. In between, Brown left viewers stunned in Hell’s Kitchen before plunging into her Hollywood fairytale with Stranger Things in 2016. And since then, it has only been onward and upward for the Netflix starlet.
