Facts About Stranger Things

The Duffers convinced Millie Bobby Brown to shave her head by using a photo of Charlize Theron

In the script, Millie’s character Eleven is described to have hair “buzzed almost to the scalp,” so when she turned up to auditions with long brown hair, the Duffers knew some convincing would have to be done.

Luckily for them, Mad Max: Fury Road was just about to be released and Charlize Theron was rocking a buzz cut in it, so they used that photo to convince Millie. When the day came to cut her hair off, Millie’s dad was said to have left in tears and he couldn’t cope with it.
