Millie shared a beautiful post on Instagram for the Duffer Brothers—Matt and Ross Duffer, the masterminds behind the iconic sci-fi series. And honestly? The internet melted.

Back in 2016, the Duffers took a huge risk by casting a then-unknown 12-year-old British girl as Eleven. That girl went on to become one of the biggest young stars in the world. Looking back at that life-changing moment, Millie wrote an emotional thank-you message, appreciating them for “taking a chance” on her when no one else really knew what the future held.

With over 65 million followers on Instagram, Millie’s post instantly went viral. She thanked the Duffers for believing in her energy, her strong point of view, her big family, and most importantly, her heart for the character of Eleven. She signed off playfully by telling fans to enjoy Volume 1 and promised to see them on the “right side up.” Cue the tears.

Before “Stranger Things,” Millie had only appeared in small roles on shows like “NCIS,” “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.” But after Eleven came into her life, everything changed. Since then, she’s starred in massive projects like “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” “Enola Holmes,” “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “Damsel,” and the upcoming “The Electric State.”

According to reports, her net worth is now around $20 million—and she’s only 21 years old. Safe to say, her future is just getting started.

Fans, of course, flooded the comments with love. One wrote, “Endlessly proud of you and can’t wait to watch!!” Another said, “EL forever in our hearts.” Even Ross Duffer joined in, sweetly commenting, “Love you, Mills.”

The first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 are now streaming on Netflix, while the final four episodes will arrive by the end of December. And just like that, the world is preparing to say goodbye to Hawkins—and to Eleven.
