Millie Bobby Brown shares bizarre theory that she was a gay soldier killed with sword in past life
We've all cursed our bad luck and wondered what heinous sins we must have committed in a past life, right?
Yet, it's hard to imagine any of us have thought just as much about what that past life may have entailed as much Millie Bobby Brown has.
Reincarnation is the religious and philosophical concept of rebirth. That after death, our soul leaves the empty vessel we currently inhabit and finds its way into a new one and the cycle begins anew.
From a microbe living in the gut of a fly to a majestic eagle soaring through the Canadian wilderness, we could come back as any living thing and how good we get it as ruled by the cosmic law of karma.

If that doesn't make you be nice to strangers, what will?
Brown must certainly have banked up the karma, given the Stranger Things star is a millionaire aged just 22.
She's also certain of exactly what she was in that past life.
' think I might have been a soldier'
“Oh, I actually know exactly who I was,” Brown told Louis Partridge, her costar in Enola Holmes 3 in an interview with Capital Buzz.
“I died… Basically, I have a birthmark [on] my lower back, the very bottom of my kind of spine, which is obviously meant to be the way that you died in your past life.”
There's more detail to come, too.
Brown continued: “In war, some, well, I don't know if this happened a lot or not, but… to kill people but make them have a painful death, they would put swords up people's spines.
"So they were completely paralysed, but they would obviously kind of die, and that's how I think I died. "So I think I might have been a soldier.”
Not only is Brown convinced she was a solider scrapping with swords and dying a pretty gruesome-sounding demise, but a male one.
She said was “definitely a man”, she explained. “Hopefully a closeted gay man."
Brown then turned to Partridge in hope of continuing the exploration into lives once lived but, maybe just like she was as a solider years before, she was shot down.
“No, I don't believe in past lives," Partridge said, putting a dampener on the chat, with Brown replying: “Okay, well, that ends that then.”
Partridge then asked Brown what he thinks happens to us mortal beings when we do eventually perish, to which she said: “You go to heaven. That’s what I believe.”
Enola Homes 3 released on July 1 and she will be appearing in another Netflix vehicle alongside her on screen father David Harbour.
The pair will reunite as dad and daughter in a new drama written and executive produced by Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne.
The series follows disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe (Harbour) who is ‘drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown) — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him to return to a field that has evolved beyond him’.
The announcement on June 26 came after claims that Brown had filed an extensive ‘harassment and bullying’ complaint against the actor prior to filming the final season of Stranger Things. No specific allegations were ever made and the actors shut the claims down with Harbour recently calling it a ‘simple rupture-and-repair thing’.
