Скачать или смотреть Millie Bobby Brown’s "Too Mature" Label Cost Her Logan But Secured Her Eleven

Before she became a global superstar, a 10-year-old Millie Bobby Brown was nearly driven to quit acting altogether after a series of crushing rejections. The most famous was for the role of X-23 in the 2017 film Logan.

Despite it being what she calls her "best audition ever"—where she even got to "punch" Hugh Jackman—she was ultimately rejected because the casting directors felt she was "too grown up" and mature for the part.

The rejection hit hard. Millie later admitted on The Tonight Show that she was "very disheartened" by the industry. She had also just been passed over for the role of Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones (which went to Bella Ramsey). She told her parents she wanted to stop, but they convinced her to do one last audition for a "Netflix show called Montauk."

In a massive stroke of irony, the exact same "world-weary" maturity that cost her the Logan role was precisely what the Duffer Brothers were looking for. They needed a child actor who could convey decades of trauma through silence, and Millie’s "too grown up" energy landed her the role of Eleven. As we look back in 2026, it’s clear that her "superpower" wasn't just telekinesis—it was the very maturity that almost made her walk away from Hollywood for good. 🧇🔦
