Drew Barrymore Interviews Millie Bobby Brown for 'Teen Vogue'

Millie Bobby Brown was “freaking out” about getting interviewed by Drew Barrymore – a huge Stranger Things fan – for Teen Vogue’s Volume III: Icons issue, on newsstands August 22.

Here’s what the 13-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On auditioning to play Eleven: “We talked about ’80s movies. And I didn’t know anything about Eleven at that point, and they were referencing E.T. And I was like, ‘Wait, what? I’m an alien now?’”

On her Stranger Things character: “She’s the opposite of me! I’m crazy and very loud. That’s why I love her so much, because I get to play a different person as soon as they call, ‘Action!’”

On how family helps keep her grounded: “My mum helps me look my age. Like, I can play with makeup, but I can’t go crazy. She’s also like, ‘You can’t wear that crop top.’ My dad is security, while my siblings take care of my eating, keep me grounded, and make sure I get rest. We are a team.”

On a strange thing she’s done lately: “This interview is one of the stranger things that has happened to me! When I was told, ‘Drew Barrymore is going to interview you for Teen Vogue,’ I was like, OMG! I was freaking out. I don’t know if you heard, but I’ve been trembling on the phone this whole time!”
