It was always really primarily social media and the media that would give me the most anxiety. Being followed and having articles written about you when you are young is overwhelming. You have 5,000 adults telling you that you didn’t look good or why do you look too good? Or that you gained weight and I’m like, did I gain weight? Now I’m going to go on the scale and obsess over that for five weeks. It’s really hard to watch young actors go through that again. It has to stop. These people are literally virtually bullying people every day. And why do you think we don’t want to walk down the street anymore? Why do you think we walk down the street and are shaking because we’re terrified of you because we have anxiety because you give us anxiety, you know, it’s, it’s like going to school and being bullied again. It’s horrible.

It kind of all started happening around me. And I thought, oh my God, ‘Why is she so nervous to come to work? Or why is this male journalist asking me what I wear instead of how I act?’ And I was becoming really aware of it and getting really overwhelmed by it. I started reading up on feminism, on how we can change the world for the better, so that female actors get to enjoy being in the spotlight, enjoy being recognised for the work they do, equally the same as the man in the film. – Millie Bobby Brown
