At 11 years old, Millie Bobby Brown became the girl with the bleeding nose and haunted eyes, whispering words the world would never forget. With a single glance, she carried Eleven’s torment, her fierce love, her aching loneliness. Season after season, she did not just play Eleven, she became her, growing from a child into a young woman with the character’s shadow lingering behind her. Now, at 21, she stands at a crossroads, the weight of a decade pressing against her shoulders.

Wrapping up with Stranger Things could not have been an easy affair for Millie Bobby Brown and, as it turns out, she does have a lot to say about the emotional farewell. 

As the young starlet spoke to The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of The Electric State, Millie Bobby Brown reflected on the emotional moment when the cast was wrapping up Stranger Things season 5. For her when she heard the words, “That’s a wrap on Millie Bobby Brown.” it felt more like “That’s a wrap on Eleven.” It did not feel like the end of her journey, but rather the conclusion of Eleven’s story. Watching her co-stars wrap their scenes made the experience even more overwhelming. She described it as a deeply personal and "niche" feeling, saying "I don't think anyone could relate to it."

Describing the experience as highly emotional, the young actress shared that it was not just difficult for her but also for her family. Having spent nearly a decade playing Eleven, the farewell carried immense weight. Saying goodbye to a character so deeply ingrained in her life was unlike anything she had experienced before. The role had shaped her, and letting go was not easy.
