What’s wonderful about child stars is that we can see them growing up on camera. From itsy bitsy kids, they grow up to become adults. This is exactly what happened with the Stranger Things cast. The show debuted while the kids were mostly in their early teens or mid-teens. Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the titular role of Eleven in the series, was all but 12. 

Years have passed and the tiny little girl has grown into a strong woman who is an actor, a producer, and a businesswoman. But when you are famous and your old videos exist on the internet, there is no escaping the cringe moments. Brown was subjected to an old video of hers that she now wishes to erase forever!

In 2021, Millie Bobby Brown appeared with her co-stars Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp to promote the 3rd season of Stranger Things. She was forced to endure an entire clip of her very first interview alongside her co-star, David Harbour.

She was so small and innocent that she failed to understand David’s little hint about ET and her favorite show on TV during the evening. 17-year-old Brown cringed at that and called herself a potato.

I look like a potato!” she exclaimed. Her bestie, Noah, disagreed and thought she was tiny and cute! The Florence by Mills owner further imitated her shrill voice and made everyone chuckle.

But the days of awkwardness have long gone for the young star. She just turned 19 and kicked off the last year of her adolescence with a bang.
