Millie Bobby Brown’s next role comes with a killer twist.
The Stranger Things star, 16, will lead the upcoming Netflix thriller, The Girls I’ve Been Before, as a lesbian con artist who uses her powers of persuasion for her own gain, according to Deadline.
The movie is based on Tess Sharpe’s novel of the same name, which follows Nora, who must use her skills at impersonation to get herself, her girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend out of a hostage situation at a bank.
