I think we have to start by getting out of the way that you're a Liverpool fan.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:11)
Yes.

**Jay Shetty** (2:12)
And I'm a Manchester United fan.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:13)
Yes, I know.

**Jay Shetty** (2:14)
But we're going to have to put that aside.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:15)
I've even been able to befriend Steven Gerrard.

**Jay Shetty** (2:19)
Wow, now you're showing off.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:20)
I know. There we go.

**Jay Shetty** (2:23)
Hey, it's Jay. I don't know what your day's been like, but I was just thinking about you for a minute. And I hope you're being a little patient with yourself because you deserve it. And yeah, I'll talk to you soon.
Millie Bobby Brown, welcome to On Purpose.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:49)
Thank you for having me.

**Jay Shetty** (2:50)
It's so great to have you here. I was just telling you, I've been waiting three years to have you in the seat. So, if it was surreal.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (2:56)
I don't know if I would have been as interesting three years ago.

**Jay Shetty** (2:59)
Well, that's great then. Everything always works out.

**Millie Bobby Brown** (3:01)
Exactly.

But when you look at your life today, what would 11 year old Millie be most surprised about or look at and be shocked about?

**Millie Bobby Brown** (3:10)
I don't know. I was gonna say she'd be shocked how vocal I am about like me and my life and the things I believe in and how vocal I am outwardly about that. But then I actually thinking about it, probably I'm not that shocked about that because I think maybe I inevitably that was always gonna come to be.
Maybe that I have like I travel a lot in and I live in a lot of different places. I don't know if I necessarily thought that was gonna happen to me, but it has and I'm very grateful for that.

**Jay Shetty** (3:46)
Going back to that 11-year-old Millie, what's a childhood memory that you have that you think defines who you are today or has had an impact on who you've become today? Is there one that stands out?

**Millie Bobby Brown** (3:56)
I think the moment I shaved my hair off was a pretty impactful moment. I remember when it was happening, and I thought, wow, this is like, this is really like me showing my dedication to my job. Like, I was 10 years old. Your hair as a girl, you're told is kind of like what defines you as being kind of a girl, and pretty, and, you know, whatever. And I just didn't care about that. I wanted to do what made me happy. And so for me, that was this job. And so shaving my hair off, I'd say it was a pretty defining moment.
