Spirited, vocal, and full of talent are what one would commonly associate with Netflix’s Stranger Things star, Millie Bobby Brown. The Primetime Emmy nominee has won over fans’ hearts with her immaculate portrayal of depth and emotions on the show. Hardly eleven when cast as Eleven, the show essentially captured the actress blossoming into a powerhouse of potential. While she does have numerous finished and upcoming A-list projects to her name, the actress desired to be self-made.

In her quest to attain creative control, Brown embarked on her own venture. In a recent video, the star recalled her journey as she flipped through the pages of her own history.

As phenomenal of an actress as she is, Millie Bobby Brown wished to have a say in the creative process of things as well. To quench her quest, she rolled out a beauty brand, Florence by Mills in 2019. In a recent flashback video, Brown flipped over an album and remarked on her very first photoshoot for the brand. “It was so cool that like there was a shoot that I had a bit of control of and like creative say.”

Touted as a brand for Gen Z, by Gen Z, the then-teenager managed to oversee its rollout in between the takes of Stranger Things and Enola Holmes. The photo has Brown underneath a blue sky of fluffy clouds sporting an iconic low-cut hairstyle and a white, zipped outfit. Elaborating on it, she highlighted how her eventual channeling of creative styles led the brand “to blossom”. As of today, her company focuses on skincare and beauty products branded as clean, cruelty-free, and vegan.

On the showbiz side of things, her Stranger Things is passing through a stall while her recent comments landed her to some enraged crewmates.

With Stranger Things still under halt, the actress is more ready than ever to say “goodbye”

Crippled by relentless SAG-AFTRA strikes, production on Stranger Things still remains elusive. The show is already running months behind its expected deadline. Furthermore, fears of a trimmed-down or alternate storyline have already gripped fans. Despite this backdrop, Millie Bobby Brown recently opined that the very same show had prevented her career from transforming into something more. The actress also added that she was not going to “mourn” the show’s ending and was ready to say “thank you and goodbye”.

The comments did not land well among fans as well as the crew. While fans disliked the manner she lashed out at the show, which gave her a breakthrough, crewmates stood infuriated for lack of respect towards their hard work. Regardless, the actress is making fast progress as she is due to appear in 2024 on mainstream Hollywood alongside Chris Pratt in The Electric State.
