Millie Bobby Brown, who recently stepped into motherhood, has made a surprising admission about her life.

The 21-year-old actress, who rose to fame as Eleven in Stranger Things, has revealed she’s blessed with a “photographic memory” that helped catapult her into Hollywood stardom.

While speaking to British Vogue, she revealed that her ability to memorise scripts almost instantly made her realise that acting was her true calling.

 “I actually have a photographic memory and was learning things very, very quickly. I started realising that I loved that the most — that was top priority,” she shared.

Millie also admitted the talent runs in the family, adding: “My little sister’s the same way. I didn’t know I had it until somebody said, ‘How do you learn your lines?’ And I said, ‘Well, I just see it.’”

The Enola Holmes star, born in Spain and raised in England, recalled persuading her parents to move to Los Angeles when she was just eight. 

Despite early rejections in shows like NCIS and Modern Family, she has gone from child star to global icon.

Now the Damsel actress is happily married to Jake Bongiovi and recently announced they’d adopted a baby girl. 

Sharing the news on Instagram, Millie gushed: “This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption… and then there were three.”
