Millie Bobby Brown’s father Robert Brown recognized his daughter’s interest in the arts at a young age. In 2016, he told the Daily Mail, “My other children would watch cartoons, but Mill watched musicals — Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Annie, and Bugsy Malone. She’d belt out a tune. She was performing from day one.” When Millie was 8 years old, her family moved to Florida to start a tooth-whitening business. Millie shared, “I was annoying my father one Saturday and he said: ‘We need to find you something fun to do.'” So, she joined a weekend stage school, where she took acting, dancing, and singing classes. Millie noted, “There was a showcase and an agent said she wanted to represent me.” Then, the family packed their bags and headed to Hollywood. As Millie’s career took off, Robert wanted to make sure she stayed grounded. He said, “It’s important for Millie not to feel under pressure. She’s a kid. She has to do her homework and chores. Everything else is a bonus.”
