So, I was scrolling through my Instagram the other day, and I came across this throwback pic of Millie Bobby Brown. You know, the amazing actress who plays Eleven in Stranger Things. This pic was from 2017, and let me tell you, it was like a punch to the nostalgia gut. I mean, have you seen her growth over the years? It's insane!
Anyway, it got me thinking, "How old was Millie in 2017?" I mean, I knew she was young, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. So, I decided to do a little digging. You know, for science. Or, you know, just for my own curiosity.
Millie's Rise to Fame
Let's rewind a bit. Millie Bobby Brown was born on February 19, 2004. That's right, she's a 2004 baby, folks! She shot to fame in 2016 with her incredible performance as Eleven in the first season of Stranger Things. She was just 12 years old when the show aired, and the rest, as they say, is history.

But here's the thing, even though she was already a big deal, she was still just a thirteen-year-old kid. I mean, think about it. When you were 13, were you dealing with international fame and critical acclaim? I sure wasn't. I was probably trying to figure out how to get my mom to let me stay out past 9 PM.
