The momentum doesn’t stop for Millie Bobby Brown. Around this time last year, I sat down with the Emmy-nominated actress and producer ahead of her 18th birthday in support of her clean beauty brand, Florence by Mills. Like any Gen Z-er with TikTok and an internet connection, she raved about her love for Taylor Swift and shared rare snippets of her relationship — but she also discussed her wildly successful Enola Holmes sequel, which spent four weeks in Netflix’s Top 10 with over 144.2 million hours watched.
Nearly a year to the day, we reunited to chat about her latest endeavors, including a college education at Purdue University, what she’s up to after the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, and her latest partnership with Essentia Water for the brand’s Stop for Nothing campaign. Yet, there was one constant between both conversations, and it’s that Millie Bobby Brown is a tremendous force.
The multihyphenate just rang in her 19th birthday in the midst of starring in and producing upcoming films, on top of earning her degree in human services at Purdue. While she’s aware of the privilege that comes with the opportunity to expand her studies, Millie tells Seventeen that college life is “going great” and that she’s enjoying the process of learning about things she finds passion in.
