Since landing her breakout role in Stranger Things, fans of Millie Bobby Brown have watched as the star has developed into the actor-entrepreneur she is today, with a fantastic career ahead of her.

From her starring role in Enola Holmes to launching her make-up brand Florence By Mills, she is someone who has been in the public eye since the age of 12 – and she has spoken out about her experiences growing up in front of the media and the sexualisation she has experienced from a young age.

Appearing on The Guilty Feminist podcast, in conversation with Deborah Frances-White and Susan Wokoma, the actor said her experience in Hollywood is “a good representation of what’s going on in the world and how young girls are sexualised”, while adding that she has experienced increased sexualised comments since turning 18 earlier this year.

“[I’m] definitely seeing a difference between the way people act and the way the press and social media have reacted to me coming of age,” she said.
