Millie Bobby Brown says she missed out on socialization while growing up on set

Millie Bobby Brown says the biggest “life skill” she missed was socialization after spending her childhood on the Stranger Things set. “Well, I didn’t go to public school, so maybe a bit of socialization,” the actress told the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, adding that she sometimes doesn’t know how to react when peers approach her: “Sometimes, when fans come up to me, they’ll be like: ‘Millie!’ And I’ll be like, ‘Ahh!’” She described growing up around mostly older men on crews: “I grew up with primarily men on crews — let’s change that — men over 40 years old,” and said her conversations often revolved around work: “You hear, ‘Where’s the grip?

Let’s grab a ladder,’ you know, that’s your whole conversation.” That environment, she said, left her less comfortable discussing typical topics for her age, like local bars and social scenes. Brown called her husband, Jake Bongiovi, “the most social butterfly” and “the complete opposite” of her.
