  • So you've been working for a little while.

  • >> Yes.

  • >> But this is your biggest break, right?

  • >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been my biggest,

  • I had one line in Modern Family, and I guest starred in NCIS and

  • Grey's Anatomy but my biggest role obviously was Stranger Things.

  • And I, yeah, I mean, I really just I had the time of my life

  • playing this character because she really just,

  • I don't relate to her in any way because I don't have, I don't live in a facility.

  • But for some reason, I've had such an amazing time.

  • >> No, you're so good at that, now, you haven't really spoken yet, but

  • when you speak, will you have this accent or can you tell me at all?

  • >> [LAUGH] I might have this accent, I don't know.

  • >> Right? Cuz she hasn't spoken yet.

  • >> Well no, I mean, she has, she has actually 42 lines in the whole show,

  • not that I counted.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> But no, it was very weird to not have

  • any lines because you have to talk with your eyes and your face and so,

  • when I had to do that it was definitely a challenge, but then I thought, why not?

  • Why be like everybody else and like an actor who talks.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> Right?

  • Why talk about your emotions when you can literally do it?

  • >> Right, well, and that's why I thought you were so good because it's very hard

  • to get all of that emotion across and that fear that you're experiencing,

  • and the kids are great, I mean those guys are great.

  • >> They're incredible, yeah.

  • >> I know that your hair is shaved when you are doing the show,

  • and you're on a hiatus right now, or are you shooting again?

  • >> Yes, so we're actually filming, I come for the Golden Globes and this.

  • You're not gonna tell me, are you?

  • >> I can't.

  • >> You're not gonna tell me?

  • >> I would love to, but I just shouldn't.

  • I would love to keep it a surprise,

  • I think it would be really cool when you watch the show, you're like [NOISE].

  • >> Yeah.

  • I'm just saying you've written me all these letters and

  • I feel like you owe me something that.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> I never got an answer, so.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> You've

  • got me there, you've got me there.

  • >> But then the answer is this I guess, I mean, I'm on your show three years later.

  • >> Yes. So your character's name is Eleven, and

  • it was a very popular Halloween costume,

  • which is a huge honor that people dressed up as you.

  • People are getting tattoos of you, did you know that?

  • >> I did, I did know that.

  • At first I thought, why me?

  • But again, I think, listen I love Leonard DiCaprio, I love Adele,

  • I might get a tattoo of them.

  • >> Would you?

  • Would you get a tattoo of somebody if you loved them that much?

  • >> I mean that's pushing it. >> [LAUGH]

  • >> But I might dress up as like, him for

  • Halloween or something, but I mean, I might get a tiny one, just like, Leo.

  • >> Little tiny one, to just say Leo, you mean?

  • >> Just to say Leo, and just be like listen, this is it.

  • >> Then it's open to any other Leo that you might meet too.

  • >> True, true. >> It's not just him.

  • >> I'm just gonna be stuck to that.

  • >> And you're the youngest actress in a TV series nominated, so,

  • you will thank me probably because you wanted to be on the show for so long, so

  • one one of the first thank yous is me.

  • >> Yeah, I won't even thank my parents, overall I'll be like,

  • I wanna thank all the producers on Ellen, I wanna thank the audience on Ellen.

  • >> [APPLAUSE] >> And

  • I definitely want to thank Ellen, so yeah it's me.

  • >> Now you probably won't bring her with you to the awards but

  • you're really good friends with Maddie.

  • I love Sia, Sia is a friend of mine, Sia always dances with this young girl,

  • Maddie, who is incredible, and she is your friend?

  • >> She is my best friend actually, we are very, very good friends.

  • We barely known each other for about five months now, and

  • the first time I met her, I was, I'm such a big fan of Dance Moms, and

  • just her in general, she's so inspiring to me.

  • And so, when I met her, obviously I started crying, I had like

  • this whole thing going on, and then she private messaged me on Twitter and,

  • I've never been on a sleepover before, never been on a sleepover, so,
