Stranger Thing’s Millie Bobby Brown was left stunned after learning her character Eleven’s real age during the Netflix show’s recent press junket.
Speaking with Stranger Things Brazil, the British actress was asked if she knew what age her sci-fi character was.
Turning to her co-star Noah Schnapp, she said: "I don't know how old Eleven is. I feel like we should know that. We should definitely ask someone how old our characters are."

Watch the moment below:
Noah, 17, then suggested that the characters are around their age - but the interviewer was quick to correct them and revealed to Millie, 18, that Eleven is in fact 14-years-old.
Shocked by the revelation, the pair said in unison, "Eleven is 14?"

Still stunned, Millie remarked: "14? I was making out with Mike at 13?!! WHAT?!!
“I'm like 16 [referring to her age when she started playing the character]. I was thinking like maybe 16/17. That's insane. Ok. We need definite clarification; they're emailing right now."
And it wasn’t only Millie who was stunned by the revelation but also fans of the beloved series, who have watched Eleven grow up on screen for the past four seasons.
After the clip was shared online, fans took to the comment section to discuss the shocking revelation.
