In 2018, Millie Bobby Brown sat down for a screen test with W Magazine. In this interview, she recalled the time when she was just a kid trying to find her place in the industry. The now 19-year-old stated that she always desired to be on The Ellen Show since she used to watch TV shows all the time as a kid. So Brown dropped an email to the team mentioning her life story and why she wanted to appear on it.

The team did not respond to her for a long time, but the fortunate day came four years later. In 2017, the British superstar made her debut on the show when she became an overnight star with her Netflix show.

During her appearance on The Ellen Show, Millie Bobby Brown opened up about the countless letters she wrote to the host. She confessed that she had been her huge fan but did not get a single response from her. The host was left flustered when she tried to tell the young author that she owed her scoops from the Stranger Things set.

Well, if one thing Brown has taught fans from this incident is that all people need to accomplish something is to believe in it. Just like the Enola Holmes star did and got invited to that show that did not give her much consideration before.
