How the actress who plays "Eleven" from Stranger Things felt about having to shave her head
If You've not yet seen Stranger Things then you seriously need to have a word with yourself because it's freakin awesome.
The Netflix-original drama stars Winona Ryder as Joyce who lives in a small Indiana town in 1983. When Joyce's 12-year-old son, Will, goes missing, she launches a terrifying investigation into his disappearance with local authorities. As they search for answers, they unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries involving secret government experiments, unnerving supernatural forces, and a very unusual little girl called Eleven.
Eleven is played by Millie Bobby Brown, a Spanish-born British actress who started her acting career after moving from Barcelona to Orlando, Florida in 2011. She was barely known before accepting her role in Stranger Things but now everyone is talking about her and her amazing acting ability.
For those of you who have seen the show you'll know that Eleven has her head totally shaved. Millie said "After my audition I got the call back and then I did a Skype meeting and there was nothing at all about head shaving! And then we flew over to LA, and they were like, 'Are you ready?' And I was like, 'For what? Ross Duffer, the director then comes up to me and puts his hand out and goes, 'Bzzzzzzzzz.' And my mum's like, 'No! That's not happening.' "And I was like, 'Mum. You need to chill out; it's gonna grow back.' My mum was against it. And me and my dad were like, 'Come on. It's fine!'
I'm glad Millie went ahead with the shaved head as she is perfect in that role and I cannot wait for the next series of Stranger Things.
