Actress Millie Bobby Brown has made history by becoming the youngest person ever to grace Time magazine’s 100 most influential people list. The 14-year-old “Stranger Things” star joins Prince Harry and his bride-to-be Meghan Markle, rapper Cardi B, Rihanna, Ke$ha, U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on this year’s countdown.

Writing an appreciation of Brown for Time magazine, “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul recalls meeting her in New York two years ago. “She may have been 12 in years (when she started shooting ‘Stranger Things’), but her spirit and mind were timeless,” he notes. “A wise woman was speaking from her cherubic face.”

He adds, “It was like speaking to a future mentor with a perspective and groundedness that I could only have dreamed of at that age. Or at any age, if I’m being honest… Maybe that’s why she’s such an extraordinary actor.”

“She somehow understands the human experience as if she has lived it for a thousand years,” Aaron continues, “I’m proud to know her. To call her a friend. To call her my adopted daughter.”

This year’s list also features the Florida students who have been campaigning for gun control following the Parkland school shooting, Hugh Jackman, actress and filmmaker Greta Gerwig, Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro, the President of China Xi Jinping, Jennifer Lopez and Oprah Winfrey.
