Since packing the role of eleven in foreign things in 2016, Millie Bobby Brown grew up for millions of people.
But almost 10 years after the debut of the show, and the former children's star – who is only 21 – seems to be outdated far beyond her young years.
On Monday evening, Millie, who wore a blonde up-do, was depicted with an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles with her little sister.
And if they didn't know better, fans admitted that they would have mistaken the actress for the mother of her 13-year-old brother or sister.
They wrote: “Millie really looks like someone's mother! “Another added:” Is she 45 or 20? ” Referring to the Mean Girls movie from 2004, another joke: “I'm a cool mother!”
Millie Bobby Brown, however, is not the only Gen Z -star who is the victim of this – such as influencers Emma Chamberlain, Alix Earle and Kylie Jenner are also accused of being older than their millennial counterparts.
Speaking with femail, aesthetic Kayti Brooks said that Gen Zs is all 'changing together' and being particularly sensitive to beauty trends.
The expert – who runs the gray door therapy clinic in Hove – explained: 'Gen ZS are everywhere in Tiktok and Instagram who' influences each other '.

'As soon as one has [a cosmetic treatment] Done, they all do it. With the same “tweakings” they change together and look the same. Some are quite unrecognizable, such as Millie Bobby Brown. '
Kayti gave a warning to Gen ZS and continued: 'It is difficult to get them to appreciate and care for their youthful skin and natural beauty. They are obsessed with aesthetics thanks to controversial celebrities such as the Kardashians.
'Instead of what aesthetics should do – improve, it actually does exactly the opposite and age. It is sometimes quite difficult to guess their actual age because of the amount of filling material contouring. '
The expert, on the other hand, said that her millennial customers were 'more considered' before they have cosmetic work.
She added: '[They] Research which will encourage treatments at the cellular level to maintain structure and elasticity for the skin.
'[They] I want to look fantastic and fresh and the best they have ever looked! Instead of being afraid of aging, they embrace it and they are wiser with their choices. '
Moreover, Dr. said Marcus Mehta – CMO from Harley Academy and aesthetic doctor at Story Clinics – that there are various reasons why gene Z is aged prematurely, including injectables from a young age.
The expert said to Femail: 'Social media strengthens the focus on the appearance, which leads to increased self -admission. Gen Z is exposed to a constant stream of filtered and processed images, creating unrealistic beauty standards.

'While millennials were dealing with similar pressure, the exposure of Gen Z to blue light from screens, in combination with possibly higher stress levels as a result of social and economic factors, can influence skin health.
'Ironically, the early approval of certain treatments, if not done correctly, can lead to problems that simulate premature aging. Overcrowded areas can, for example, stretch the skin, and incorrect skin care routines can cause irritation and inflammation. '
As such, the expert warned some kind of injectables against people under the age of 21.
Dr. Mehta added: 'Facial structures are still developing in younger people. The introduction of fillers or other injectables too early can disrupt natural aging patterns and lead to complications in the long term.
'Excessive filler can lead to distortion, migration and an unnatural appearance. It is essential to give priority to a subtle, natural approach that improves the characteristics instead of changing.
'It is important to tackle the underlying motivations behind the search for these treatments. It is often powered by uncertainties fed by social media.
'A thorough consultation must contain a discussion about realistic expectations and the importance of self -acceptance. In reality, most patients do not have any loss of volume that would benefit from filling to the age of thirty. '
Moreover, the expert has also emphasized that Gen Z Z is on disrupting their skin barriers with their skin care routines.

Dr. Mehta said: 'Gen Z often follows skin care trends without understanding their skin type or needs. This can result in the use of products that are too hard or unsuitable.
'Products such as Retinols, AHAS and BHAs are powerful, but they can damage the skin barrier if they are used incorrectly or too often. This leads to dry, irritation and increased sensitivity. '
The expert, on the other hand, said that millennials did not experience the same pressure – because the trends of their forming years 'focused on natural beauty' in contrast to the 'heavily filtered appearance of today'.
Last September fans expressed their concern about Millie Bobby Brown after she seemed 'weighed by fillers' in a photo shoot for her brand.
“She already looks 40. It is really very sad, “a person wrote. Another added: “Her face looks like it is being weighed by fillers.”
Musician Sabrina Carpenter, 25, is also supposed to have 'improved' her appearance – plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Linkov believes that she might be doing work in 2019, when she was only 20 years old.
The plastic surgeon, who emphasizes that he has never seen Carpenter as a patient, estimates that she has spent more than $ 40,000 on various cosmetic procedures to stimulate its beauty.
Mrs Carpenter has been in the spotlight since 2014, when she was only 14 years old – after she was seen in Disney's Girl Meets World.
But as she has grown in popularity, so to have rumors about procedures, she supposedly has undergone to change her appearance.
Timmerman himself has to comment on one of the speculations about her suspected operations.
Dr. Linkov, which is located in New York City, rated photos of the star from 2013 to 2024 before performing his review in a YouTube video.
He suggested that the star is a fan of lip filler and probably has been getting small injections for years – aimed at achieving a curved upper lip, which is naturally rare.

In 2021, at the age of 22, Dr. suggested Linkov that the singer might have started using a cheek filler because he saw more volume in the direction of the outside of her cheeks compared to photos from 2017 where the apples of her cheeks seem to have more fullness.
Add to possible procedures, Dr Linkov also suggested that the star may have done subtle work to shave the tip of her nose and to give it a thinner appearance.
Comparison of photos of her from 2015 and 2023, he pointed to the bridge – the upper, bony part, of the nose – seemed to be the same size. But the tip of the nose, he said, seemed to be much narrower.
Although a popular procedure in both the rich and the famous and everyday Americans, Dr. Linkov not that Carpenter had received a botox.
And of course it is not only we stars who turn to tweakings when it comes to changing their appearance. Welsh Love Islander Nicole Samuel, 24, is also supposed to have opted for the procedures.
Dr. Daniel Barrett is a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. He was asked to guess whether a number of love -country participants were 'natural' or not and predict their age in a video on Tiktok.
He suggested that most islander had Botox, a brand name for botulinumtoxin, a cosmetic injection that is used to relax the muscles in the face to smooth lines and wrinkles.
The surgeon, who has 2.4 million followers on the app, thought that Nicole was 35 – 11 more than her real age – and that she had 'a little filler' and botox.
While millennials, often the 'wellness generation' drink and smoking less than any other generations, called Vape more than every age group.
A scroll by Tiktok offers accounts from suppliers who advertise for a selection of the 'bars offered', with the 'Vapenk' tag that collects several million views; Peanuts compared to the three billions of views under '#vaping' and 16.6 million under '#vapingtricks'.
In addition, a report of action on smoking and health (ASH) showed that this year 7 percent of 11-17-year-old users were compared to 3.3 percent in 2021 and 4.1 percent in 2020.

Dr. Glyn Estebanez from Prima -esthetics, previously told Femail: 'This generation is often associated with health and welfare, and is less likely to smoke and have a more chance than previous generations.
“These lifestyle factors all have a huge impact on our skin health and therefore what we look like.”
'Millennials are known as the generation who are interested in their health and well -being, with a healthy diet with exercise.
'I have indeed read that millennials eat more fresh and frozen vegetables than other generations and more organic food.
'In addition, another study showed that millennials spend more on skin care than any other generation.
'It could therefore be that they were one of the first generations to have access and availability for better skin care products, and also the disposable income to pay them. This, in combination with healthy diets, has a very positive effect on our skin health and therefore looks. '
