Millie Bobby Brown recently opened up about how her social skills have been affected by her time spent on set instead of in school during her teenage years. Despite her seemingly perfect life – with an estimated net worth of $14 million, A-list status at the young age of 20, a loving partner and now husband – the Stranger Things star revealed that she doesn't have many friends.
While filming the hit Netflix series from the age of 11 to 20, playing the telekinetic child Eleven brought Millie immense success, but it also came with its own challenges. In an interview with Vanity Fair for their March cover story, she shared, "I don't have many friends because of who I am. I didn't go to school, so I don't have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit. I missed out on a few things. But I'm working through them."
The 20-year-old also discussed her life on a large farm in rural Georgia, where she lives with her husband Jake Bongiovi. Millie admits that she is content with the company of animals – including sheep, goats, cows, donkeys, and nine dogs – and her husband. She rarely checks her phone and is aware of the recent trend of "trad wife fantasies" on social media, but she clarified that this traditional, domestic lifestyle is not for her. "I'm not doing it for the aesthetic. I'm doing it because I love it," she said.
Joining Stranger Things at the age of 11 and wrapping up filming at 20, Millie has grown up in the spotlight. She also opened up about her marriage to Jake, which was kept private until they announced their secret wedding in May of last year. She shared, "We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want. It's such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him."
In addition to her personal life, Millie also discussed her career and wrapped up filming for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, set to premiere on Netflix in November of this year. She expressed her excitement for the show's finale and her gratitude for the experiences it has brought her. For the full story, check out Suzy Exposito's article in the March issue of Vanity Fair.
