Strangers Things star Millie Bobby Brown might appear to have it all, but there's one place she feels she's lacking in - friendships.
The actress has played Eleven in the hit Netflix show since 2016. In the years since the behemoth science fiction drama debuted, Millie has also starred in the Enola Holmes franchise and tied the knot with beau Jake Bongiovi.
The couple spend their time on the remote farm in Georgia they share and when she’s not on set, Millie spends her time tending to her horses, sheep, donkeys and cows.
However, Millie’s unique childhood has meant that she struggles making friends.

The 21-year-old told Vanity Fair: “I don’t have many friends because of who I am.
“I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit.
"I missed out on a few things. But I’m working through them.”
She also addressed the trad wife fantasies on social media and said traditional housewife core as it has come to be known online is not what she’s doing.
“I’m not doing it for the aesthetic. I’m doing it because I love it,’ she said.
“There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not.
“If you’re not picking up horse s**t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”
Some critics had questioned marrying at such a young age, but Millie hit back, telling Glamour: "It’s not because I can’t do it in 10 years; of course I can do it in 10 years. But why, when I know that it’s going to work now?"
She added: "I know that Jake and I will be okay.
"When I met Jake, I just felt I could be loud. He embraced that and encouraged that. And I fell in love with myself while being with him."
Jake's dad, rockstar legend Jon Bon Jovi, previously opened up about the pair's big day on The One Show.
“The bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be," the proud father explained.
"They’re great. They’re absolutely fantastic," he added.
Meanwhile, Netflix confirmed that Stranger Things season 5 will be released in 2025, however the specific premiere date has yet to be announced.
