Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown may have burst onto the acting scene with a shaved head, but it's fair to say that we've become accustomed to seeing her with a head full of of hair.

However, it turns out that the 21-year-old is planning to revert to type when it comes to a specific milestone in her life.

Brown has since ventured away from her role as Eleven on Netflix horror series Stranger Things, appearing in films such as Damsel and The Electric State.

On a personal note, the actress also tied the knot with Jon Bon Jovi's son, Jake Bongiovi, in 2024.

However, amidst her meteoric rise, the star has had to deal with a lot of media scrutiny as she grows up in the spotlight.

Following criticism over her appearance and even her accent, the Brit has continued to unapologetically be herself, admitting that her appearance will see a radical change if she has a child.

Speaking on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, she explained: "I always tell Jake, for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off.

"I don’t know. It was really liberating, would suggest it for anyone. Any girl...

"Maybe [I would shave it] right before I’m about to give birth because I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with," Brown admitted, revealing her excitement to raise a family one day.

She went on: "I'm gonna nurture my child. Why deal with my hair? And I think it’s such a liberating experience.

"To be a woman is, and I felt like I had that experience as a girl, but I’d like to have that experience as a woman," the actress admitted.

With filming as Eleven on Stranger Things starting when she was just 11, Brown recalled shaving her head for the show, and how she 'did not care'.

"I honestly did not care and I’m saying that like I really did not care. I didn’t have anxiety, I wasn’t sad when they shaved it off," the 21-year-old recalled.

However, the actress said that it did start 'to hit me' after months of filming, and needing to shave it 'consecutively every three days' to maintain continuity.

"Every time it started to grow and I’d get excited, we’d shave it again," she said.

This resulted in her feeling 'insecure', as boys started to become interested in some of her friends.

She remembered: "I was like, the boys started liking girls and I was kind of like maybe, 'Why are boys not liking me?'"

"And then I was like, 'I’m feeling insecure now', so I would put wigs on and I did get really, really bullied," though Brown added that she 'loved the experience' despite the public comments, admitting she would do it again.
