It almost seems impossible to believe that a person can discover the purpose of their life at a young age. But the entrenched talent of artists like Millie Bobby Brown is never bound to the metrics of age. When the Stranger Things star told her parents only at the age of 8 that she wanted to be an actress, the family relocated to Los Angeles, where she began working in shows and got her first role as young Alice in 2013. However, her appearance as a lead role in Netflix’s supernatural drama was her shot to stardom. And as we know, this surge of fame and materialism can influence and change a person, especially when they are young. But all these things never affected the 13-year-old celebrity as she used this classic game to keep her childhood alive.

Millie Bobby Brown likes to be a normal kid as much as she loves acting

In 2018, Millie Bobby Brown revealed her secret to Giuliana Rancic on E!’s Live during a chit-chat at the SAG Awards. The host asked her what she does to feel like a normal teen after becoming a popular face in Hollywood. At that time, she was a double nominee, having nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

In her response, Intruders star said: “My little sister—she’s 6—I go and play Barbie dolls with her. It’s like the most fun.”

Brown added that she also spends time with her dog in the garden, and all these things help her a lot. The dolls and time with her dog certainly seemed to help because the actress looked every bit youthful in her Calvin Klein gown paired with converse shoes.
