Millie Bobby Brown, the star of the hit series Stranger Things, recently opened up about the emotional toll her final day on set took on her, revealing that she was "not fine" and "cried a lot" as she wrapped up filming. At just 21 years old, Brown has become one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, thanks to her iconic role as Eleven.

However, the end of her journey on Stranger Things marked a bittersweet moment in her career, and she was nowhere near ready to say goodbye to the show that made her a household name.

In a heartfelt speech shared on Instagram, Millie Bobby Brown took her fans through the emotional process of filming her final scenes for the series. "I wasn’t fine.

"It was really hard for me. I didn’t feel like I was ready to leave," she continued, acknowledging how deeply the show had impacted her and shaped her life.

The series, which first premiered in 2016, quickly became a global phenomenon, catapulting Brown into the limelight at a young age. As Eleven, a telekinetic girl with a mysterious past, Brown gained critical acclaim for her performance and won the hearts of millions of fans around the world.

Over the years, she has grown not just as an actress, but as a person, and the Stranger Things set was where she experienced many of her formative moments. For Brown, leaving the show was not just the end of a chapter in her career, but the end of a very personal journey.

The emotional farewell was made even more poignant by the fact that Stranger Things has been a major part of her life since she was just 12 years old. Over the years, she has forged deep friendships with her co-stars, including Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, and Noah Schnapp, who played her close-knit group of friends on the show.

The bond they shared off-screen was just as strong, and for Brown, the final day of filming meant saying goodbye to people who had become like family to her.

"It's not just the end of a job, it's the end of something that feels like home," she said, recalling how the set became a place of comfort and creativity for her. As she reflected on her years spent working with the talented cast and crew, Brown expressed immense gratitude for the support she received throughout the series.

The experience, she said, was not only a career-defining moment but a source of personal growth and cherished memories.

The farewell speech was shared with her Instagram followers, where Brown expressed her appreciation for her fans and how much they had meant to her over the years. "Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey with me," she wrote, accompanied by a series of behind-the-scenes photos from her time on set.

"You guys made this whole experience unforgettable, and I will carry the memories with me forever."

Her words resonated deeply with her followers, who flooded the comments section with messages of love and support. Fans expressed their gratitude for her portrayal of Eleven, with many highlighting how Brown’s performance had impacted their own lives.

The overwhelming response from fans shows just how much Stranger Things has meant to its audience and how deeply they connect with the characters and the actors behind them.

Brown recently launched her own production company, PCMA Productions, and is eager to take on new roles and creative ventures. Fans are excited to see where her career will go next, with many speculating that her future in Hollywood is as bright as ever.

Despite the end of her time on Stranger Things, Brown remains proud of the work she accomplished and the friendships she made. In her Instagram post, she expressed that, while it was hard to leave, she knew the show had given her everything she could have hoped for and more.

"It was an honor to be a part of this family, and I will cherish the memories forever," she said.
