Logan was a perfect movie and a perfect end to the most beloved Wolverine ever. But could it have been better if Millie Bobby Brown had played the role of Laura? Well, Dafne Keen did such an amazing job that it's impossible for us to answer the question. Millie did audition for the role of Laura but did not get the part. Hollywood just wasn't ready for her just yet.

8. She's deaf in one ear



 

This is a strange fact about Millie that you probably may not have known. We currently don't know why or how she is deaf in one ear but it clearly hasn't affected her much in life just yet.

7. She made her acting debut in Once Upon A Time in Wonderland

Most people only ever saw Millie for the first time in the first season of Stranger Things. But she had a major acting gig before that. She starred as young Alice in the spinoff series of 'Once Upon A Time' called 'Once Upon A Time In Wonderland'. It sadly only got one season and was not able to live up to the success of the original series.

6. All of her outfits on set are picked out by her mother

Anytime you see Millie looking real stylish you can thank her mother as she is responsible for picking out her outfits. Yes, her mother ensures that her daughter is well-dressed at all times. Now that's some good parenting.

5. Millie is a massive Jodie Foster fan

I think everyone is a Jodie Foster fan but Millie is an especially huge fan of Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. She talks about them a lot and expresses her interest in forming a group with them. Can you imagine seeing all three of them in a movie? That would be pretty awesome actually.

4. Millie formed a close bond with Winona Ryder on the set of Stranger Things

Millie is one of the few girls in the Stranger Things series. And as you can imagine things can get overwhelming for one girl to have to deal with so many boys. So, on days when she just couldn't stand the boys, she admitted to going to Winona to just have a little girl time. And in those moments the two formed a strong bond.

3. She is afraid of the dark



 

Aren't most kids afraid of the dark? Yeah, even some adults are still afraid of the dark but despite dealing with so many strange things on her Netflix show, she isn't very fond of dark places.

2. Many people think that she looks like a young Carrie Fisher
