It’s a strange thing.
Millie Bobby Brown is continuing to clap back against people who comment on her appearance.
In the episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast released on Tuesday, March 11, the “Stranger Things” star, 21, said, “A thing that I get a lot is like, ‘Oh my God, she looks like 40.’”
Brown said, “And I’m like, well yeah, you did meet me when I was 10, so I understand. Now I’m 21, it’s been 10 years. She grows. My face like, grew. What do you want me to do about that?”
Brown was referring to the fact that she was 12 in 2016 when the first season of “Stranger Things” premiered, catapulting her into fame for her Emmy-nominated portrayal of Eleven. Nearly a decade later, “Stranger Things” will end with Season 5, premiering at an unannounced date on Netflix.
In May, Brown tied the knot with John Bongiovi’s son, Jake, 22.
The “Enola Holmes” star also said that public scrutiny “really actually doesn’t bother me.”
She added, “I wish I could be like, ‘You know what, it does get to me.’ It used to get to me, it did … And I remember trying to change myself to please the masses,” she said.
“And 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,” Brown added.
This is coming on the heels of Brown making several Instagram posts slamming her critics.
On March 3, Brown posted a video slamming the press for “bullying” her and “dissecting my face, my body, my choices.”
The actress also took to social media in January to blast trolls.
“Women grow!! not sorry about it :).” she wrote after posting a photo flashing her diamond ring from her husband and holding a mini Louis Vuitton bag.
On the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Brown also said she’s “disgusted” by the comments about her appearance.
“I can’t believe it still happens. And if I can do anything to change it, I would,” she said. “If I had a genie wish, I really would wish that no one ever had to go through that kind of scrutiny because it changes the kind of person you are.”
She added,” It changes the way you perceive the world. You see the bad in everyone, you don’t see the good. You’re like, ‘What are your intentions, what are you going to say about me?’”
