Millie Bobby Brown Was Left In Tears After Being Told She Wouldn’t Make It In Hollywood Because She Was ‘Too Mature’ At 10 Years Old

Teen star Millie Bobby Brown almost didn’t audition for the breakout role of Eleven on “Stranger Things” after she had a terrible experience with a “powerful casting director” who told her she was too mature to make it as a child actor.

Brown, who is now 18 years old, spoke with Allure for the magazine’s September cover story and opened up about the hurtful experience she had when she was 10.

“I always knew that I was mature and I couldn’t really help that,” Brown told Allure. “Going back to what I said earlier about being kind of very lonely in who I was and feeling like no one was quite like me in school and no one was as mature as I was, [hearing that] was really hard because I thought [maturity] was a good thing.”

She continued: “It was so hurtful. I got really down about that. My parents told me, ‘Just do this one last audition on tape and then you can go outside and play with your friends again.'”

Brown agreed to do one more audition and landed the role of the 11-year-old superpowered girl in Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things” three months later.

This isn’t the first time Brown has opened up about her tumultuous experiences in the acting world. Back in October 2020, the actress appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and spoke about how “the industry is just full of rejection 24/7.”

“I was auditioning for commercials, anything really,” Brown said. “I then auditioned for ‘Game of Thrones’ and I got a no for that. That’s kind of when I was like, ‘Oh, this is really difficult.'”

Aside from “Stranger Things,” Brown has now starred in several major feature films like “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Enola Holmes” (the sequel of which is set to premiere later this year).

The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” is in pre-production now, and the series remains one of Netflix’s most-viewed programs to date.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
