Millie Bobby Brown Has Another Message For Tabloids Saying She Looks 'A Lot Older'

Millie Bobby Brown has continued her onslaught against tabloids criticizing her appearance.

Earlier this month, the "Stranger Things" actress shared a video on social media calling out the articles that questioned her appearance.

She received widespread support for speaking out, with celebrities like Lewis Hamilton, Aaron Paul, and Sharon Stone praising her.

Brown appeared on the latest episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast and spoke with host Alex Cooper about how she felt about the press constantly being on her business.

She said, per Variety, that the press "love to go in in me with certain things," including saying "that I look a lot older" and noting changes in her British accent.

Brown explained, "A thing that I get a lot is like, 'Oh my God, she looks like 40.' And I'm like, well yeah, you did meet me when I was 10, so I understand."

The actress continued, "Now I'm 21, it's been 10 years. She grows. My face like, grew. What do you want me to do about that?"

Brown noted that the constant scrutiny from tabloids "really actually doesn't bother me."

She explained, "I wish I could be like, 'You know what, it does get to me.' It used to get to me, it did ... And I remember trying to change myself to please the masses."

The 21-year-old continued, "And actually now, I'm in a place where, yeah, my accent does change. My face does grow."

She concluded, "I do wear a lot of makeup. It's just the kind of person I am."

Brown's comments come over a week after she shared a video on social media calling out the authors who had written articles about her appearance.

Amid her press tour for Netflix's "The Electric State," Brown debuted a new look featuring a blonde '90s blowout and retro-inspired outfits.

While many fans celebrated her transformation, some media outlets questioned her appearance, claiming she looked older than her years.

Addressing the backlash, she said, "I want to take a moment to address something that I think is bigger than just me, something that affects every young woman who grows up under public scrutiny."

She emphasized that having started in the industry at just 10 years old, people seem unable to accept that she has grown up, saying, "They act like I'm supposed to stay frozen in time... And because I don't, I'm now a target."

In her video, Millie Bobby Brown specifically called out articles that criticized her new look. She highlighted headlines such as "Why are Gen Zers like Millie Bobby Brown ageing so badly?" by Lydia Hawken and "What Has Millie Bobby Brown Done to Her Face?" by John Ely.

She also condemned a piece titled "Millie Bobby Brown Mistaken for Someone’s Mom as She Guides Younger Sister Ava Through LA," written by Cassie Carpenter.

Brown expressed her frustration over these stories, labeling them as harmful rather than journalistic. "This isn’t journalism. This is bullying," she declared.

She also pointed out the irony of female writers participating in the criticism, saying, "We always talk about uplifting and supporting young women, but when it comes down to it, it seems easier to tear them down for clicks."

Beyond defending herself, Millie Bobby Brown challenged the larger societal issue of tearing people down.

She questioned why negativity dominates public discourse, asking, "Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than just say something nice?"

Brown ended her message with a powerful call for change: "Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without the fear of being torn apart for simply existing."

Several celebrities praised Brown for her message. Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton commented, "So truly proud of you Millie."

"Breaking Bad" actor Aaron Paul said, "You are such a beautiful example of grace and mutuality. Way to stand up for yourself. So proud of you Mills."

Meanwhile, actress and film producer Sharon Stone added, "Beautifully said. Thanks. It really doesn't matter our age or stature, we must be willing to own ourselves fully not fall to the false ideology of tear down media. Good job my friend."
