Millie Bobby Brown Fired Back At Online Trolls Who Criticized Her Current Appearance
Millie Bobby Brown is not eleven — pun intended.
Sure, she might've been that age when she first played the psychokinetic wonder named Eleven in Netflix's Stranger Things, but that was almost 10 years ago. Do the math.
Alas, the cesspool of negativity that plagues social media more often than not refused to use any logic or simple elementary school math and criticized Millie for her current appearance in a Dec. 29 mirror selfie.
The 20-year-old actor posted a dolled-up selfie with her Louis Vuitton bag, iPhone charm, floral dress, and red lipstick, and instead of just leaving a compliment or keeping it moving, several detractors took an opportunity to speak on her appearance.
"Millie's google history : 'How to look 65 when you are 16,'" one user wrote.
"U look 35 what happened??" another user wrote.
Like her Stranger Things character, Millie defeated the bad guys with a flick-of-the-wrist when she responded in her Instagram stories on Jan. 1.
"Women grow!!" Millie wrote. "Not sorry about it :)"
Millie shut that down real quick.
Despite the unnecessarily disgusting comments, there was a lot of love and praise for Millie's mirror selfie, including a series of white hearts from her husband, Jake Bongiovi.
After three years of dating, Millie and Jake were married in a private ceremony on May 18, 2024. They had a second, larger wedding in Tuscany, Italy.
Christy Carlson Romano said what all of us millennials were thinking. "Babe I think we're sisters..." because the actors definitely have some similarities.
I see it.
And, of course, Millie's fans came in loud and proud in defense of the Enola Holmes star.
"Omg guys can yall just let a girl breathe," one fan wrote.
Another fan wrote, "Y'all. She's not a kid anymore. You're still expecting her to look like baby Eleven. She's not."
This person said she's "aged like fine wine," and people who say differently are tripping.
People literally age… and moreover she aged like fine wine idk what keep complaining about

Another person pointed out that she's obviously "pursing her lips and sucking her cheeks" in the selfie, which is changing her appearance.
"Can we normalise not talking about how celebrities look and normalise getting jobs instead??" another person asked.
Can we normalise not talking about how celebrities look and normalise getting jobs instead??

And finally, my favorite response was someone recognizing that she wasn't using a Samsung Galaxy phone. If you don't know why that's funny, watch this or this.
