Millie Bobby Brown, who is famous for her hit Netflix series Stranger Things, has made a touching revelation about her surprising career decision and credited late grandmother as an inspiration behind new book Nineteen Steps.

The 19-year-old shared her candid desires while talking on Radio 4's Women's Hour on Monday that if she hadn't discovered fame in Hollywood, she would have worked in a care home.

Brown shared, “A huge passion of mine, if I had not taken the route I have taken, would have been to work in a care home.”

She further revealed, “I love the history of older people and the stories they do tell, even if they are completely made up, which sometimes they are! But I hope after reading [Nineteen Steps] you go and talk to your grandparents or you your parents and learn about your family history.”

The Enola Holmes starlet went on to explain that she wants it would encourage others to volunteer at a nursing home, emphasizing the significance of “being able to sit there and talk to someone and just being there with someone and hearing them.”

Brown explained, “Losing her was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through and I don't know if I necessarily healed from it fully,” adding, “So doing the audiobook I was a bit scared of talking it because I'd read it privately so much to myself.”

The Damsel star reflected on her youth, saying, 'I was with her for a lot of my childhood by choice. I like my parents, but they aren't nearly as intriguing as she is!”

The Stranger Things starlet added, “When she passed away I really wanted to capture her stories. As a child I recorded her and as we went back through those recordings we thought there would be room for a narrative about her life.”

Brown shared the memory of her grandmother, “'My nan would talk a lot about the war, especially when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She'd forget what she had for dinner the night before but would remember what she had for dinner on her fifth birthday, things like that were so bizarre.

She continued, “Because I studied and still study Alzheimer's I really wanted to hone in on that story to make her feel safe and heard. Some I'd heard hundreds of times and some I'd never heard before and I'd say "nan you never told me that" and she'd go "oh I didn't think you'd care!"'

“I've always enjoyed writing and I've always loved creating,” Brown says when asked if she plans to write more in the future. 

My granny had to put up all the odd things I made since I'm quite creative, perhaps unnecessarily so!
