Millie Bobby Brown is taking on new challenges as she embraces a significant role in her personal and professional life. The “Stranger Things” actress, who recently became a mother to a baby girl with her husband Jake Bongiovi, is reportedly in advanced discussions to portray Olympian Kerri Strug in “Perfect,” a biographical film about the U.S. women’s gymnastics team during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Joining her on this cinematic endeavor could be director Gia Coppola, known for her acclaimed filmmaking pedigree as the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola and niece of Sofia Coppola. This potential collaboration highlights the film’s high-level creative vision.
Millie has been vocal about her aspiration to balance a thriving career with family life. Earlier this year, she expressed a strong desire to establish herself further as both an actor and a producer while simultaneously prioritizing her family. In a March interview on the “Smartless” podcast, Millie emphasized the importance of family to her and her husband Jake Bongiovi, son of the legendary Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley. Both Millie and Jake hail from families with four siblings, underscoring their shared value of a large family as part of their future.
This combination of career ambition and family focus represents Millie’s commitment to achieving her goals on all fronts, demonstrating her ability to navigate both personal and professional realms successfully.
