It’s hard to believe, but Millie Bobby Brown (19) almost chose a different career. Nevertheless, the British actress found her success in Hollywood at the age of twelve. As Eleven in Stranger Things, she became one of the most famous child actresses in the entire world. At 14, she became the youngest ambassador for UNICEF. The series star is known for wanting to help people. Therefore, probably less surprising: Millie actually wanted to pursue a social profession.
“A great passion of mine would have been to work in a nursing home if I hadn’t taken the path that I did,” she said in an interview with the radio station on her promotional tour for her published book “Nineteen Steps”. “Radio 4”. The book is inspired by her grandmother’s stories. She died in 2020 from the consequences of Alzheimer’s disease. She shares: “I love the history of older people and the stories they tell, even if they are completely made up, which is sometimes the case!”
Millie hopes it inspires people to volunteer in a care home. “I hope that after ‘Nineteen Steps’ you talk to your grandparents or your parents and learn about your family history.” The novel is about an 18-year-old girl living in London during World War II. After a catastrophic accident, the life of the protagonist Nellie Morris suddenly changes.
