Millie Bobby Brown Will Play GTA 6 Like It’s ‘The Sims’

In a recent episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused show, Millie Bobby Brown, who you’ll recognize best as Eleven from Stranger Things, divulged how excited she is for Grand Theft Auto 6. However, she let the audience of the show know that she’s not exactly going to play it as the developer perhaps intends.

Instead, she’s going to behave herself, play by her own rules, and almost treat it like it’s The Sims, refusing to break any laws and exploring the world with a peaceful approach.

Eleven Won’t Wreak Havoc in GTA 6

While appearing on stage for an hour-long interview with Josh Horowitz, Millie Bobby Brown, who ended her 10-year stint as Stranger Things’ Jane ‘Eleven’ Hopper months ago, spoke about the impending launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Horowitz, the host, asked in the closing minutes: ‘Favourite video game of all time?’ Without skipping a beat, Brown declared, ‘GTA!’

Everyone was surprised that she leapt to that so quickly, but Brown set about explaining:

I’m so excited for the new GTA!

It’s a passion.

I follow the rules in GTA. I don’t break the rules. I stop at the red lights, I never run anyone over. No, my husband is like, ‘Why are you playing this like it’s Sims?’

I’m like, ‘I’m going to go to the strip club, but I’m not going to get drunk.’

I’m just very, very good. ‘I’m going to go and do my job.’ I’m still a hitman, and I’m like… I’m not a hitman, I’m a vigilante. I’m just trying to make it.

I’m so excited about the new one. I think it really took my husband by surprise when we started dating.

She then revealed it might have been the first time she admitted this publicly.

Here’s the full interview:

To be honest, there are tens of millions of people excited for GTA 6, and Millie Bobby Brown falls into a very large camp. There are probably many more surprising people out there excited about Grand Theft Auto 6, and we know that many celebrities find themselves enjoying video games amidst their busy filming schedules.

There are even examples of actors finding their way into games to explore an alternative medium. In recent years, Aaron Paul has been one big-name actor who has done just that, landing a lead role in Dispatch and being cast for a spot in Fallout’s third season.
