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.
>> Congratulations.
>> Thank you, so yes, we've come here for that.
>> Will you shave your head again?
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,
she was like, do you wanna come over?
So I was like, sure, okay, so I go over and, in like three o'clock in the morning
the fire alarm comes on and we all had to get rushed out of her apartment building.
And I'm crying because I'm like, my first sleepover's ruined.
>> [LAUGH] >> And you know, so yeah,
we've been through a lot, fire alarms, the grove.
Yeah, so we're really good friends and we text each other.
>> You've been through a lot, the fire alarms, the grove.
>> Is that like part of- >> Yeah, Magiana's.
>> Yep, all right.
