My job is to act, not be famous: 'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown

Teen stardom can be a difficult beast to handle but not for Millie Bobby Brown as she finds comfort in the company of her "Stranger Things" co-stars, who are going through a similar experience and are her best friends.

Brown, 15, says it helps that she is surrounded by fellow teenagers Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin on the show.

"Fame is not really something I live by. I have one job which is to act. My job isn't to be famous. Fortunately or unfortunately, fame comes with acting, and acting is my favourite thing on earth. I love to portray characters that I feel are powerful and strong," Brown told PTI in a group interview here.

The show also features Winona Ryder and Brown says she found the senior actor to be a "relatable" figure on the show's set as she has also gone through a similar phase early in her career.

"There's not much advice she gives us but she definitely has experienced what we are (experiencing). She was a child actor so she definitely helped us in that respect. She was very relatable because she literally went through the same thing."
"We just relate with each other. You know you're not going through this alone. That's why we keep each other so close. We don't talk to each other every day. We don't talk to each other for a month sometimes. But when we do talk to each other, it's like we're going right back to our old ways again."
