Netflix’s Stranger Things is the most talked about show of the summer, and has made stars of its young cast, with actress Millie Bobby Brown stealing the show as the unusual but endearing Eleven. With everything from the emotional struggle of discovering the true meaning of friendship (she was held captive for a seriously long time) to her wild telekinesis ability and love of Eggo waffles, Eleven is a star.

On her distinctive look, 12-year-old Brown told Elle in August that her mother was reluctant for her daughter to get a buzz cut simply for a role, but Brown was quick to convince her that her hair wouldn’t remain like that forever.
Eleven has a shaved head, a measure that was taken to make the government tests inflicted on her easier. “Enjoy! #buzzed”, she tweeted alongside the video.
“I showed you my school picture!” “That’s not happening, ‘” she added.
“My mom’s like, ‘No!” “And I was like, ‘Mom. You need to chill out; it’s gonna grow back”. And me and my dad were like, ‘Come on.
We have to say, though it’s a major transformation, Millie pulls it off wonderfully!

Brown and her parents weren’t initially too keen on changing the actress’ look so dramatically, fearing that it would cost her future roles, but the Duffer brother (the series creators) have said that it was Charlize Theron’s shaved head that convinced them.
