13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown burst onto the scene last year as the incredible character, Eleven, on Netflix’s Stranger Things.
The teen, who is already cooler than we’ll ever be, was just awarded Best Actor at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, beating Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke and Atlanta’‘s Donald Glover.
Millie couldn’t hold back her tears while delivering her acceptance speech. She began by saying, “I want to thank my family… you give me light every day and I love you,” before continuing to thank her team, and the Duffer Brothers for creating Eleven’s character.

“Lastly, I want to thank the Duffer Brothers because they’ve created a badass, female, iconic character that I’ve got the honour to play.”
