Millie Bobby Brown is open to shaving her head again — but this time, it’s not for a role.

The star, 21, appeared on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast and was asked by host Alex Cooper how it felt to shave her head for the role of Eleven in Stranger Things. Saying that she “loved” the experience and wants to do it again, Brown noted that there was a time in particular she is looking to shave her head.

“I always tell Jake for my first baby, I wanna shave my hair off,” Brown says. “I don’t know. I just feel like it was really liberating. Would suggest it for anyone, any girl.”

Millie Bobby Brown Says It’s ‘So Important’ to Her to Start a Family with Husband Jake Bongiovi

When Cooper pushes to confirm that Brown would actually shave her head for her first baby, the actress explains why she wants to — and when she’d do it.

“Maybe like right before I’m about to give birth. Because I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with,” Brown notes, saying she just wants to “nurture” her baby.

“Why deal with my hair? I think it’s such a liberating experience, like to be a woman is, and I felt like I had that experience as a girl, but I’d like to have that experience as a woman.”

As for whether she’s thinking about starting a family with her husband Jake Bongiovi — whom she tied the knot with last May — Brown revealed on an earlier episode of the Smartless podcast that she’s really looking forward to becoming a mom.

“My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it’s been my thing since before I met Jake,” Brown said. “Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me.”

“And my nan, my grandmother is, she was a huge part of my life. And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family for me personally,” she went on. “It’s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.”

The Electric State star went on to say that she and her husband are planning on having a big family since they both come from families with four kids.

“And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family,” Brown shared. “I’m one of four. He’s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future, but, for me, I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.”
