Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 13, 'freaks out' over Drew Barrymore and reveals why she'll never be a provocative dresser in Teen Vogue cover shoot

She's been acting since she was 10 when she played young Alice for two episodes of Once Upon A Time In Wonderland in 2013.

And Millie Bobby Brown shot to fame just three years later playing the alien Eleven, in Netflix hit Stranger Things.

But actress, 13, admitted that finding out she was going to be interviewed by Drew Barrymore for Teen Vogue was one of the strangest - and most exciting - things she's done lately.

'When I was told I was like, OMG! I was freaking out,' she dished to Barrymore, 42, during a phone interview for the magazine.

'I don’t know if you heard, but I’ve been trembling on the phone this whole time!'

The British starlet gushed: 'This is probably one of the most exciting conversations I’ve ever had. It means so much.' 

Millie revealed that she was in Atlanta, Georgia, getting hair extensions for her new movie, the next installment of Godzilla.

'Dude, I feel you!' Drew replied. 'I’ve been in so many chairs with so many extensions on so many movie sets.'

Drew famously played Gertie in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in 1982 when she was seven, so she has a lot in common with Millie Bobby, who gave a shout out to the movie saying: 'It was a huge reference point for (Stranger Things).

'They wanted me to feel like an alien but also have genuine relationships, like the one with Mike,' played by Finn Wolfhard. 

For Teen Vogue's cover shot, the tween looked cute in a color block Unif sweater, Marni pants and Calvin Klein boots.

And in answer to Drew's question about young girls prematurely aging themselves by how they dress, Millie replied: 'I’ve never been one of those girls who dresses provocatively. It’s just not me.

'I keep it as appropriate as possible. I wear tons of shorts and sneakers.

'My mum helps me look my age. Like, I can play with make-up, but I can’t go crazy. She’s also like, “You can’t wear that crop top.” ' 

Millie is also modeling for Raf Simons at Calvin Klein, revealing: 'I’m not a model in the sense that I pose and just suck it up, I’m like, “Uh, no” if something is itchy or not comfortable.'

The excited youngster shared her Teen Vogue front cover on Instagram, captioned: 'I am SO honored to be featured on the cover of @teenvogue #TheIconsIssue.'
