When “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown started working on “Godzilla: King of The Monsters” three years ago, she found she was treated like a second class citizen at work. Granted, she was 12, but as she explains in Glamour UK’s new Activism issue, the fact that someone doing a job is a kid shouldn’t mean their voice doesn’t count. “I am there to be treated as a co-worker and my opinion be treated as such. You know, you are a man, I am a girl but that doesn’t matter — our opinions are equally as important as each other,” she tells Orlando Bloom, who interviewed her for the cover feature. Millie, now 15, has applied a similar approach to her work for UNICEF, which named her the youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador in 2014. She vowed at the time to fight for children to “have a seat at the table” in situations where they are not being heard. — including kids who face bullying, which she has plenty of experience with. “I was bullied at school back in England. So, it’s extremely important for me to speak out against bullying,” she told Orlando. I actually switched schools because of it. It created a lot of anxiety and issues that I still deal with today. I have dealt with situations both in real life and online that are soul-breaking and it genuinely hurts reading some of the things people have said.” On the other hand, she said that all that negativity she’s faced has made her “appreciate the love so much more.”
