Millie Bobby Brown Claps Back at Critics: "My Face Grew, What Do You Want Me to Do?"
Alright, let’s talk about Millie Bobby Brown. You know her—our beloved Eleven from Stranger Things . Well, she’s making headlines again, but this time, it’s not about a new movie or TV show. It’s about the way the media keeps scrutinizing her appearance, and honestly, she’s had enough.
So, here’s the deal. Millie recently appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, and she didn’t hold back. She called out tabloids for saying she looks “40” and questioned the obsession with her changing face. And really, she has a point. When she first stepped into the limelight, she was just 10 years old. Now, she’s 21. Of course, she looks different! That’s called growing up. But apparently, some people on the internet and in the media can’t seem to grasp that concept.

Millie put it perfectly: “You did meet me when I was 10, so I understand. Now I’m 21. It’s been 10 years. My face grew. What do you want me to do about that?” And honestly, what do they want her to do? Stop aging?
What’s even wilder is that this isn’t the first time she’s had to deal with this kind of scrutiny. In fact, she posted a video on Instagram recently calling out certain media outlets for “bullying” her and constantly picking apart her face, her body, and even her accent. And let’s be real—if we had cameras on us 24/7, most of us would sound a little different too!
She went on to say that while these comments used to get to her, she’s finally at a place where she doesn’t care anymore. “It used to get to me. I remember trying to change myself to please the masses. But actually, now, I’m in a place where, yeah, my accent does change. My face does grow. I do wear a lot of makeup. It’s just the kind of person I am.”
Honestly, it’s refreshing to see Millie speak out about this because the constant judgment young women in Hollywood face is ridiculous. She even mentioned that this kind of treatment changes people—it makes them wary of others, always questioning intentions. And who could blame her? If everything you said or did was dissected and criticized, you’d start seeing the world differently too.
Millie’s bottom line? The press needs to learn some manners. “I think they need to go back to school and learn how to speak to people, be kind, and just understand that we’re all growing people, we all make mistakes.” And honestly, she’s right. The pressure and unrealistic expectations placed on young female stars are exhausting to watch, so I can’t even imagine what it’s like to experience them firsthand.
Right now, Millie is making her rounds promoting her latest Netflix film The Electric State , where she stars alongside Chris Pratt. But even in the middle of a busy press tour, she decided it was time to address this ongoing issue. And she’s not backing down. “When is the right time for a woman to stand up for herself?” she asked. “Actually, I can’t wait any longer.”
And that’s the energy we love to see. Millie Bobby Brown isn’t here to be silent anymore, and frankly, she shouldn’t have to be. So, to the tabloids and internet trolls: maybe take a step back, let people grow up in peace, and find something more productive to do with your time. Because Millie? She’s got bigger things to focus on.
