Millie Bobby Brown gives brutally honest review of living on farm and compares it to 'trad wife' aesthetic

The farm life isn't for the fainthearted

Millie Bobby Brown has been a big face in Hollywood for years but she has opened up about moving away from the bright lights for a simpler life.

The British born Millie Bobby Brown shot to international fame when she played Eleven in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, in case you forgot.

Since then, she has been on screen alot for both films and TV, so you would be forgiven for thinking she had a lovely home right by the big studios.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, the 20-year-old explained that isn’t the case, and she instead lives with her new husband Jake Bongiovi on a farm.

Brown also revealed she isn’t actually on her phone or social media very much, but is very much aware of the surge in conversation surrounding traditional - or trad - wives.

She said she barely checks her phone and largely delegates social media duties but argued that the discourse pretty much overly romanticizes the type of life it is.

She noted that this glorification of the lifestyle isn’t what actually drew her to live on a farm in rural Georgia.

She added: “I’m not doing it for the aesthetic.

“I’m doing it because I love it. There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not.”

Explaining the less than glamorous aspects of farm life, she continued: “If you’re not picking up horse s**t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all."

Brown certainly has a love for animals, as the farm is full of horse, sheep, goat, cow and donkey, as well as a few more house-friendly animals.

As well as tending to them, she explained that she has gone a step further when it comes to caring for the animals.

Back in 2022, she started taking classes in veterinary studies and has also copped an ultrasound machine so she can learn how to scan the animals to know if they are pregnant.

Explaining the skills she has already learnt, she said: “I’m able to treat wounds, take their pulse, moderate blood pressure, things like that. I do all their medical records myself.

“Now I just have to do my externship, which is like sitting in on surgeries and things like that. Adoption campaigns [on social media] are wonderful temporarily, but you really have to get in there and do the work to make a difference.”
