Beyond Acting: Brand, Books & Advocacy

Florence by Mills

Her beauty and lifestyle brand, Florence by Mills, continues to expand in 2025—now widely available in the USA, UK, and Canada, and supported by her evolving aesthetic, including bold hair transformations (from blonde to bubblegum pink)

Author and Producer

Her debut novel, Nineteen Steps, drawn from her grandmother’s WWII memoirs, was launched in 2023

In 2025, Millie holds executive producer titles on Enola Holmes 3 and possibly Electric State, asserting creative control.

Who Is Millie Bobby Brown?

Millie Bonnie Brown—better known by her stage name—was born on February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Spain, to British parents Robert and Kelly Brown. The family moved back to Bournemouth, England, when she was four, before settling in Orlando, Florida, at age eight . Despite partial hearing loss in her left ear, Millie entered the entertainment world soon after, with minor roles in shows like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, NCIS, Modern Family, and Grey’s Anatomy

Her breakout came at age 11, when she auditioned for and won the role of Eleven in Netflix’s Stranger Things. With super‑powered abilities and a shaved head, she captivated global audiences, earning Emmy nominations in 2017 and 2018

Global Roots, Georgia Heart

Although born in Spain and raised between England and Florida, Millie now calls Georgia, USA, home. She resides on a serene farm outside Atlanta, where she lives with husband Jake Bongiovi, and over 60 rescue animals—including horses, dogs, sheep, goats, and donkeys

This grounding in rural life—far from the glitz of Hollywood—reflects her evolving values. In March 2025, she revealed her donkey Betsy’s pregnancy during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, proudly sharing “I’m a grandmother now!”

She also oversees an animal rescue organization, Joey’s Friends, and studies veterinary care and human services online via Purdue University

Speaking Out: Advocacy & Public Voice

In early March 2025, Millie confronted media backlash over her appearance, criticizing tabloid articles that accused her of “looking 40.” She boldly stated, “I started when I was 10… My face grew—what do you want me to do?”

She described such scrutiny as “bullying,” urging societal kindness and understanding toward young women who age naturally

Empathy & Animal Welfare

A passionate UNICEf ambassador, Millie balances glam and activism. Her Georgia farm doubles as an animal sanctuary, and she’s investing in human-service studies to make real change
