Despite the fact that Stranger Things is the reason she is famous, and that she earns around $300,000 per episode, 19-year-old Millie Bobby Brown is very ready to be done with it.
Brown, who is engaged to the son on Jon Bon Jovi, 21-year-old Jake Bongiovi, was recently named one of Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year.
As part of her interview related to that honor, Brown talked about Stranger Things and how it’s hampered her being able to do the things she really wants to do.
Comparing to graduating from high school, Brown, who was homeschooled and began acting on Stranger Things when she was 12, told Glamour, “When you’re ready, you’re like, ‘All right, let’s do this. Let’s tackle this last senior year. Let’s get out of here.
“Stranger Things takes up a lot of time to film and it’s preventing me from creating stories that I’m passionate about. So I’m ready to say, ‘Thank you, and goodbye.’”
The popular Duffer Brothers series has released just 34 episodes since 2016.
Brown also said that she won’t miss making the show, adding that no one is dying.
“When it ends, I’m going to be able to still see these people,” Brown said.
Millie Bobby Brown does admit that the Netflix hit has given her “the tools and the resources to be a better actor.”
She also believes that she has tremendous intuition, which is why she thinks her engagement at age 19 will work out and that her acting career will continue to flourish.
“It’s like — I know I should make this movie now,” she said. “I know I should write this book now. I know I should do this now.”
“It’s not because I can’t do it in 10 years; of course I can do it in 10 years.
“But why, when I know that it’s going to work now? Just like Florence will be there in 10 years. You’ll be able to see my movie in 10 years on TV.
“And I know that Jake and I will be okay.”
Season five of Strangers Things is scheduled to be released… sometime.
