Millie Bobby Brown<\/strong> isn\u2019t Eleven anymore. After ten years of facing monsters, the actor has finally finished her run as the Stranger Things<\/em> hero. \u201cI know I\u2019ll never play her again,\u201d she says wistfully. But she isn\u2019t really saying goodbye to the character: \u201c[Eleven] has influenced me in huge ways. She is a force to be reckoned with, who gave me a lot of confidence to be a hero within my own life.\u201d<\/p>\n

That self-assurance motivated Brown to launch Florence by Mills in 2019. \u201cNaturally, [that role] gives you the confidence to be like, \u2018Yeah, I might not know everything about skin care and beauty, but I\u2019m going to build a company at 15.\u2019\u201d Since the start of the Netflix show, Brown, now 21, has also starred in the Enola Holmes<\/em> and Godzilla<\/em> films. She got married (to Jake Bongiovi) last year and recently adopted a baby girl. She isn\u2019t even Millie Bobby Brown anymore, if you want to get technical. Legally, she\u2019s Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.<\/p>\n

Despite the internet\u2019s resistance to the idea, she\u2019s grown up and firmly in her \u201cmost authentic era,\u201d which she attributes to motherhood. \u201cBeing a mother expedited this version of me,\u201d she says. \u201cNothing could get in the way of me being who I need to be for my daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
