“I always knew that I was mature and I couldn’t really help that,” said the Enola Holmes actress.

She went on to explain, “Going back to what I said earlier about being kind of very lonely in who I was and feeling like no one was quite like me in school and no one was as mature as I was, hearing that was really hard because I thought maturity was a good thing.”

Later, Brown told outlet that it was because of her parents support she went for one more audition for Stranger Things.

“It was so hurtful. I got really down about that. My parents told me, ‘Just do this one last audition on tape and then you can go outside and play with your friends again,’” she recalled.

In the end, Brown was cast in the leading role of an 11-year-old girl with superpowers in the smash series on Netflix that launched her career.
