Millie Bobby Brown discusses everything from being friends with Drake to having to shave her head when she was just 11 years old for “Stranger Things” in a new interview with W Magazine.
The 14-year-old, who plays Eleven in the hit Netflix series, reveals some people would think she was sick.
Brown says, “The shaved head was a big deal. On the one hand, it was cool. When you’re bald, rain feels like a head massage. I’d walk in the rain and people would look at me like I was crazy. I’d be smiling—so, so happy to have the water hit my naked head.
“But on the other hand, people stared at me, wondering whether I was sick. Some would even laugh at me, without knowing whether I was or wasn’t sick. It was hurtful, but their attitude taught me something about compassion.
“In the end, being bald was the best thing I ever did—being different changed my life. I wanted to embrace my baldness and, hopefully, inspire people. And, now, that’s become my message to the world.”
The actress’s interview also sees her discuss sharing that now-viral snap with her new pal Drake: “He invited me to his concert. And now we talk all the time. I ask his advice.”
It turns out Brown is also a huge fan of Paris Jackson, with her describing the model as her “girl crush.”
The teenager gushes, “She’s got great style. She’s like a sister to me. And she plays the piano!”
