Millie Bobby Brown Defo Turned It Up To Fkn 11 For Her 1st US Mag Cover

Whatever you are doing with your existence, it probably pales in comparison to 12-year-old Millie Bobby Brown.

The ‘Stranger Things‘ star just landed her first US magazine cover – Interview – and is actual, literal goals. She is cooler than any of us will ever be, and we just have to be okay with that.

They styled her as the punk queen of your dreams, which is only fitting for someone badass enough to shave off all their hair to play a powerful telekinetic child with next-to-no lines.

My first American cover! And it’s Interview magazine! Ahhhhhh! #interviewmagazine #karltempler

To make things even better – and to really mess with our minds that MBB is both rising star and just your average 12-year-old – she was interviewed for the mag by BFF Maddie Ziegler, i.e. the 13-year-old dancer and star in Sia‘s music videos.

The pair met backstage when Mille caught tix to So You Think You Can Dance, where Maddie was performing, and tbh it sounds like they both fangirled over each other. Mille says they “just clicked”. Honestly, their friendship sounds so fucking cute and weirdly relatable, e.g. this story of Millie’s first ever sleepover, which was at Maddie’s house.

ZIEGLER: Yes, okay, so first of all, this was Millie’s first proper sleepover, and she kind of has some night terrors, and I had never seen them before, and I didn’t know how to handle it. I was like, “What do you do if you have them?” You said you scream a lot and try to climb up the walls. And I was like, “What do I do to help you?” And you were like, “You just have to slap me really hard.” So we practiced on each other, and I was like, “Is this how hard I would slap you?”

BROWN: Ha-ha, it was so funny.

ZIEGLER: It was.

BROWN: “You slap me, and I’ll show you how I do it.” [laughs] It was so funny.

ZIEGLER: So embarrassing. Anyway, so then we’re sleeping, and I’m just waiting for her to have a night terror, and I hear this super-loud noise. I’m not facing Millie, and I’m like, “Oh no. Millie is having a night terror.” And then I looked at her to see if she’s in bed, and she’s just sleeping like an angel, sound asleep.


Important news from the interview: Millie is extremely cool with you dressing as Eleven for Halloween. If this is you, know you go with her blessings.

In equally extremely important news: Eleven’s kiss with Mike (Finn Wolfhard) was also Millie’s first kiss, a fact which Maddie mercilessly brought up like only your good mates can. (Y’know, if your good mates were recording the conversation for national publication instead of roasting in the group chat.)

ZIEGLER: [Referring to a baby dressed up as Eleven] It was really cute. Oh, what was I gonna say? We were talking about Stranger Things being your favourite show because you get to kiss Finn.

BROWN: You’re an evil, evil person. You know that? Are you aware of that, Maddie? Yeah, I did have to kiss Finn. At the end of the day, it’s only acting, and it’s something you have to do, and I would do anything for the show. I cut my hair, I kissed Finn. It was definitely strange. It was, like, my first kiss, so it was kind of weird. But then, like, when I’d done it, I thought, “Wow. It makes sense for the storyline.”
