Millie Bobby Brown Sings Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" | Screen Tests | W magazine

- Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown sings one of her favorite karaoke jams - the Bruno Mars song "Just the Way You Are" - and talks about her audition process for the role of Eleven on the hit Netflix show. The multi-talented actress also confesses her love for "High School Musical", Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, and reveals her crush on Leonardo DiCaprio and James Franco.
Millie Bobby Brown, the saucer-eyed breakout star of Netflix’s explosive hit series "Stranger Things," exudes both hyper-precocity and age-appropriate innocence, a juxtaposition that has allowed a 12-year-old girl to become the obsessive fixation of peers and adults alike.
Brown’s easy toggling between old soul and youthful sweetness is not unlike the appeal of Eleven, the enigmatic character she plays in "Stranger Things," whose second season, pegged for a 2017 release, was announced the day before our tête-a-tête. For those who have somehow not yet seen it, the show melds sci-fi freakiness with government conspiracy and a healthy dash of The Goonies's childhood friendship (the initial reel Brown was sent for her audition was a mash-up of Stand By Me, Poltergeist and E.T.). Set in Indiana in 1983, it stars a trio of young boys who band together after the mysterious disappearance of their best friend, Will, one night. As Will’s mother (a sensational Winona Ryder) flirts with supernatural explanations, they befriend Eleven (Brown), a young girl with a shaved head, limited vocabulary and immense powers, whom they learn - spoiler - has escaped from an experimental government facility.
Because of the cocoon in which she was raised, Eleven lacks any basic social skills, and yet possesses the deep otherworldly knowledge (and psychokinetic abilities) of a superhuman.
Exhibit A: Besides her daily boxing and jujitsu regimen when she is in London, Brown has embraced her shaved head, now grown into a cute rumpled pixie-ish ‘do. Her more than 1 million Instagram followers have all probably watched the two-part videos of her long locks being shorn, her face awash with shock and a touch of plucky enjoyment. As she tells it, the necessary cue-balling was “mentioned, but I thought it was a negotiation thing. No, no, that wasn’t the case.” Still, she is loathe to make a fuss over a few spilt hairs.
Brown may be able to school older actresses who make a big to-do about physical transformations for the sake of a part, but she, too, got schooled, in a way, having her first kiss - onscreen or otherwise - when Eleven’s friendship with one of the boys, Mike (Finn Wolfhard) takes a romantic turn. The scene was filmed in front of both kids’ parents and the entire crew, to add to the awkwardness.
Born in Marbella, Spain to British parents, Brown grew up first there, then in England and for six months in Orlando (“we moved [there] just for fun”). It was in Florida where she asked her dad for $50 to attend an acting school; when an agent insisted she go to Los Angeles, her father packed up the family, including her younger sister, older brother and English mastiff, and drove cross-country. She landed roles on TV shows like "Intruders," "Modern Family" and "Grey’s Anatomy," but there’s no question that "Stranger Things" has catapulted her to a different stratosphere. Asked where she calls home, she now says, “I live on a plane” (she had just flown in from a press event in the Philippines); she counts Maddie Ziegler as a close friend; and the actor Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren Parsekian are so enamored of her, they have publicly declared they wished she were her child.
Then there is her suddenly nascent music career. Brown claims to have started singing before she could speak, and videos of her crooning Adele songs and rapping Nicki Minaj on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," not to mention performing a rendition of “Uptown Funk” at the Emmy’s, testify to her talent. Once she turns 16, she’s allowed to pursue music professionally. But until then, it’s Eleven dominating much of the conversation around Brown. And thanks to her cropped ‘do, she sometimes gets mistaken for a boy and has even adopted the alter ego Jon - “no ‘h’” - for such occasions.

She speaks in a so mature way, she's mentally older than 13.
Olivia Dalma I've noticed that too, as if she was an old soul.
lol no, she's exceptional^
source: from the UK
She's just super smart.
Yes she is soo mature!!! She's a year younger than the cash me ousside girl!
its called parenting
ok, but is there a thing she can't do?
Daziysajalah HAHAHAHAHAHHA
madhatters princess ikr this is redicoulous I'm 13 and she is the best celeb crush I've had in years
madhatters princess yes, vote hahahaha
she can't fail
Alright we're voting on a new fan base
All in favor say I
I look at this kid.. And think wow I have failed at life 🤣
xD 😂😂
SaMe
So true man
U dont failed, u just dont have a rich family like her
rebecca brown we’re different people living different lives. She has a talent and she crushing it. Money doesn’t equal success just look at paris hilton her acting and simgimg career is garbage and she has more money than her.
Who else thinks she’s really pretty? 😍😍
Me
id wait another year, just to be safe.
I think she's just perfect but i feel a bit awkward about my feelings cause im not a young man,im more like a painting beauty admirer,and this young lady its too much,her singing doesn't get to me but i would never tell her,the world needs that smile.
Me
Me🙋♂️
I feel like a proud mom when these kinds of videos come out haha oops
editingwithnoell same😂😂
editingwithnoell same and im the same age as her
+SemiAutømatic Skeletøn me too XD
SemiAutømatic Skeletøn cof cof....|-/
*mum
ok but why is no one talking about her VOICE?!
Eleven's got some PIPES
BENBOIS
that was the joke bruh
BENBOIS it's a joke...
Samiha Rifayat nopeeeeeee
she should do a cover
OMG HE'LL YEAH
Millie is an old soul in a young girl's body. I have to give it up to her parents for raising a young person with such maturation. And who does not love her portrayal of Eleven?
do you mean maturity? maturation is a verb mama not an adjective
Shay Jackson no hunny, maturation is a noun not a verb.
you're right! i looked aat the google definition and got verb from "the action or process of maturing" thanks for the correction.
There were some special children being born on this planet, i think it was around 12 years ago and they are very old souls with special abilities. Funny how she portrays a child that is special in stranger things that has special powers and she might actually be one in real life.
Apparantly these children have 12 strand dna and it's switched on. The government knows this and that's why children are given so many vaccinations when they are born and throughout childhood this is to dumb down the children and block their natural abilities. These children are going to change the world if they are allowed to be themselves because they are the next step in evolution for humanity. Would be amazing to see what the world would look like in 20 years when these kids are grown up. That's if the goverment leaves them alone, fat chance of that happening.
Angelina Andreas are you referring to indigo children?
Something you probably didn't realize or even think about, Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas and Max would all be 48 in 2019💀😂💔
That means hopper and joyce....Oop-
@@lovelissy5595 i mean hopper is already dead
@@marlaaboujaoude7442 I don't think he's dead though not really I think he's either in the upside down or in the Russian prison
Wdym they would be 48? 😂😂
@@ireljana8855 El, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will, and Max were all born in 1971, 48 years ago, therefore, they'd be 48 this year😹
Gotta love her👏 I know she's young but she's already such a lady
Patricia B. Such a lady? Lol what is that supposed to mean
meaning she's quite proper and well-spoken for someone so young, I assume lol
+Not Your Average Nerds pretty obvious really
Not Your Average Nerds its that british accent. They all sound so smart i think. I want one.
She reminds me so much of Emma Watson and a young Natalie Portman
Yes! I've said this since I found out about her.
kirstybubble1 yesssss Natalie Portman

How can a little girl become a man
I called her next Natalie Portman 'cause she was just as mature at her age and became a huge thing in short terms
Rosie loves PIZZA I agree
i think she also look a bit like young julie andrews
I really want her to play a young Princess Leia, then she could be Natalie Portman's daughter in the Star Wars universe... Win-win for everybody, woohoo ! lol
Rosie loves PIZZA Nope. She's Millie Bobby Brown.
I thought I was click-baited the first 3:12 minutes

Where does millie live
Jessica Schänzle Ahah i have no talents at all so In my opinion its illegal af to be as multi-talented as millie
Utkan Özkan right?!
she sings and she can act...not THAT uncommon
It's so weird hearing a 13 year old talk about what was big back at the time x)
John Cornish I didn't even know most of the movies she was talking about and I'm 15
Great movies,get watching :)
Omg! You met Ellie Goulding! So jealous!! 😂
John Cornish I
John Cornish haha so true, my cousin is also 13, and she knows all this movies and songs lol
Millie Bobby Brown has succeeded in life at 13 yrs old 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
wait until she will be 18 than she takes drugs etc
Lukas Kubik no she’s 16 in 19 days and she knows she has a voice and is using it for her platform. Because now people are listening but they aren’t listening for long. So she has to hurry up and tell people to spread love. She is like this because she got bullied all her life and still does.
your succes is not defined just by your job
@@gabypolo3193 some people being with very low money but a family is sucesful money isnt everything
GOW XlxlzzlxlX exactly
She really has a lot of power in her voice and it's so beautiful
Megan Horan yep. Love that!
British people usually have that
❣️❣️❣️❣️👏😂
Megan Horan I
so true
stop saying she's the next anyone else. she's the only Millie Bobby Brown and she's amazing
Calm down.
Nina Nanic WHY TF is everyone nowadays so triggered about ppl saying that that singer is gonna be the new (random famous singer) and that new actor is gonna be the new (random famous actor) like does it really matter if they say that, if they want to tell their opinion? Fucking leave rn.
She is the next Johnny Depp!!!!!!11
She is the next marlon brando!!!!

watching it in quarantine but not because I am bored but she is great
I watching this cuz i cant sleep😂
HOW YOU KNOW!?!?
I know it's not your fault but seeing comments like these that were made like 3 weeks into the pandemic really makes me cringe
Currently binge-watching Millie interviews because what else would I️ do with my time?

700th like!
soz i just needed to say that
Artliker1234 she's got a pretty good support system around her, I think she'll be okay. Maybe far off in the future when she has to face these things on her own, but for the next 10 or so years I reckon her family will be keeping her grounded.
Millie Bobby brown

she will be a Eleven/10 in the future.
Catota wow didn't see that one coming
She is an Eleven
Yeah lol
Catota What???
Homie Javiar what, what?
I just love how’s she’s talking about her childhood. Your childhood ain’t over boo, don’t forget it!
I was looking for this comment hahaha
Her accent is becoming American.
it makes me so sad! She sounds lovely with her natural accent
im shattered, as soon as I heard her say "eighties movies.." in that new accent I cried.
It's so sad idk why she's trying to be American
babyaloud she's not trying to be American, it's because she's been in America for a very long time she's just picking it up
Frodo Baggins eventually she'll have an American accent depending on how long she decides to stay here of course.
The one thing she cant do is
Failing❤
lol😂
Stranger Things Central and kiss Finn without all of her fans non-stop talking about it
hm what do you think got her here? ofc she failed she can just get back up.
England is her city.
England is a country you doughnut, She comes from Devon now that is a county
mikey p Its a joke. Some youtubers made a music video, and one of them said "England is my city" so everyone trolls him.
God damnit you’re here too🙏
Clorox Bleach LMAO

Mills at 13: *talented* *is rich* *successful af* *beautiful*

😭😭😭😭😭I can relate
3:10 is when she starts singing
and its AMAZING
what a queen
She sings absolutly amazing! I‘m obsessed with her voice
When you hear how some people just have “IT” this is the type of person they’re talking about. She’s so interesting to look at, listen too, everything!!
I like her acting and in person😍😍😍
great actor
queenline_94 :D *actress
It is now, because a bunch of idiots called all actresses actors.
For you, I'll consider it. You should feel special. I don't do that for just anyone.
i love her now because she loves versace on the floor and I love that song too plus I love Bruno Mars. I wanna make her friends with her! 😭😭 lol. nuh but she's really lovable, gorgeous and adorable. 😭😍
*make friends with her. lol typo error
ᴅåɴɪᴇʟʟᴇ omg same 😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love Versace on the floor too!!! Hahaha
we just watched Enola Holmes. she is incredibly charming!
Yesssssss
I love her!! I'm only 21 but I felt so old when she said about Rihanna songs back in the day I remember Rihannas first ever music like pon de replay which was one of my favourite songs 🤣
LucyMayGeeMusic oh my god I loved pon de replay too!! and I'm 18 years old but I feel old anyway lmao
It's so weird to hear her talk about Diamonds and We Found Love being songs of her childhood, when I was a kid it was all Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake 😂
I miss them days 😂 and mcfly and busted were the best bands!!

you can hear her losing the English accent
Jasmine Sanchez she's not loosing it she still has it, it's just that she's been in America for a while that she picks up their accent, but when she gets back home it will be back
Jasmine-She not losing the English accent at all
She ain't losing it at all what you on about? She loses the american accent quite a lot while filming
Exactly Tina, Also her speech when she won the Emmy Award was proper British sounding so no one can argue that!
She will eventually lose it like Cary Elwes.
She’s actually really good at singing!
There should be a scene where El sings to Mike... like if you agree
Emma Bago Nahh
Will be too disney like
Cringe
I don’t even remember making this comment when did this happen
Emma Bago lol

E L She's amazing but let's not put anyone down to praise another Xx
😂yh she seems so nice and funny she’s got a good personality and is talented I like her style too!
Don't forget people like Emma Watson! There are so many brilliant voices for women in the celebrity world and it's great to see the next generation following in their footsteps.
Watching this again since I am missing Eleven. And I just noticed that she got shy when they said “That was amazing!” 😌 girlllll - you got a nice voice. Let it ouuuutttt. 💕

Gaby you can still tell she has her British accent
Well she is also 13
I've noticed that too
Didn't expect such a voice from that little lady! That's pretty amazing!
"I wanted to be a singer so I just started humming"
I shouldn't have laughed at that but I did.
Millie reminds me of me when I used to sing in front of my family and friends when I was her age
