00:00 Millie Bobby Brown gets revealing about her romance and career.
00:04 In a new interview with Glamour, the Stranger Things star opens up about her engagement
00:09 to Jake Bon Jovi, the son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, and how he changed her mind about the
00:15 idea of marriage.
00:17 Millie says after becoming a child star at the age of 12, she was called a lot of names,
00:22 revealing grown adults called her "an idiot, stupid and a brat" while doing press for
00:27 her hit show.
00:29 She says, "When I met Jake, I just felt I could be loud.
00:32 He embraced that and encouraged that.
00:34 And I fell in love with myself while being with him.
00:37 He was a really big, huge part of me loving myself and becoming a woman.
00:42 It was like, 'Wow, I really love this person because he allows me to love myself.'"
00:47 As for comments from internet trolls that she's too young to be getting married, the
00:51 19-year-old star is unbothered by the noise.
00:55 She says she's always trusted her gut when it comes to timing in her career and otherwise.
01:00 Sharing, "It's like, I know I should make this movie now.
01:03 I know I should write this book now.
01:04 I know I should do this now."
01:07 Millie adds, "It's not because I can't do it in 10 years.
01:10 Of course I can do it in 10 years.
01:12 But why, when I know that it's going to work now?"
01:14 Sharing, "It's like, why wait?
01:17 Let's go for it."
01:18 Elsewhere in the interview, the Enola Holmes star gets candid about wanting to move on
01:22 from her hit Netflix series, Stranger Things.
01:25 The show's fifth season will be its last, and Millie isn't hiding the fact that she's
01:30 ready to bid farewell.
01:32 Telling Glamour, "When you're ready, you're like, 'All right, let's do this.
01:36 Let's tackle this last senior year.
01:38 Let's get out of here.'"
01:40 As she puts it bluntly, "Stranger Things takes up a lot of time to film and it's preventing
01:45 me from creating stories that I'm passionate about."
01:49 So I'm ready to say thank you and goodbye.
