Millie Bobby Brown is ready to bid Stranger Things farewell — but that doesn’t mean she can’t revisit her iconic Eleven haircut.

As fans of the hit sci-fi series no doubt remember, the 21-year-old actress rocked a shaved head throughout the show’s first season. And though she battled some insecurities about the look when she was 12, the actress is more than ready to recreate it now.

During a recent chat with Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper, Brown admitted that she initially “did not care” about shaving her head for the role.

“I didn’t have anxiety, I wasn’t sad when they shaved it off. I just thought, ‘Cool. Now this is what I’m doing,'” she recalled. “I think it started to hit me months and months in.”

She explained, “You get to that age where you’re 11 now and you’re shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length because we’re filming. So every time it started to grow and I’d get excited, we’d shave it again. So, I think it [got] to the point where — I was like 11 or 12 — where I was like, the boys started liking girls and I was kind of like, ‘Why are boys not liking me?'”

Brown, who swiftly rose to fame after the success of Stranger Things season 1, said she began “feeling insecure” and faced frequent bullying about the look from those who would make comments in public. But despite it all, Brown has no regrets.

“Honestly, I still to this day loved the experience and I would do it again” she told a surprised Cooper, adding that she’s already decided on the timing. “I always tell [husband] Jake [Bongiovi], for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off. It was really liberating, I would suggest it for anyone — any girl.”

Cooper asked, “Wait, so you’re saying when you have your first child, you would shave your head?”

“Yeah,” Brown replied. “Maybe right before I’m about to give birth because… I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with. I’m gonna nurture my child, why deal with my hair? And I think it’s such a liberating experience.”

She added, “I had that experience as a girl, but I’d like to have that experience as a woman.”

Cooper went on to express astonishment at Brown’s ability to shrug off the initial insecurity but, ten years after the initial buzz cut, the actress is no stranger to defending herself against critics who comment on her appearance.

“I just don’t allow outside noise to influence something that meant so much to me,” she said. “I did love it. I would go home and my mom and dad always supported me, always hyped me up, told me I looked amazing. It was a fantastic experience. It’s when I stepped out my door that I felt people would make me question if it looked good or not… But they didn’t infiltrate my front door.”

Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer previously told Entertainment Weekly that there was lots of hesitation when it came to dramatically altering Brown’s look, especially from her parents. Luckily, Charlize Theron came to the rescue.

“Mad Max: Fury Road was about to come out, so we pulled out a magazine photograph of Charlize Theron as Furiosa and showed it to Millie,” the brothers said. “[We asked] ‘Charlize looks totally badass, right?’ Millie agreed; Charlize looked badass. And that was it: She agreed to buzz it all off.”

They noted that on the day of the haircut, it was all off in about 10 minutes, at which point, “Millie looked at herself in the mirror, gave her best Furiosa scream — and Eleven was born.”

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is slated to arrive on Netflix later this year.
