Millie Bobby Brown revealed she wants to "shave her hair off" before giving birth to her first baby.

The 21-year-old actress is married to rockstar Jon Bon Jovi's son Jake Bongiovi and said she is keen to raise a family in the future. 

However, she shocked fans when she admitted she would get rid of her long hair just before becoming a mother and adopt a buzzcut. 

The Stranger Things star told Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast: "I always tell Jake, for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off.

"I don’t know. It was really liberating, would suggest it for anyone. Any girl... Maybe [I would shave it] right before I’m about to give birth because I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with.

"I’m gonna nurture my child. Why deal with my hair? And I think it’s such a liberating experience.

"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."

Not the first time Millie has sported a short hairstyle, the actress first shaved her head aged 12 for her breakthrough role as Eleven in the Netflix sci-fi series, Stranger Things. 

She continued telling the podcast host that she had no objections to getting rid of her hair at the time. 

Millie remembered: “I honestly did not care and I’m saying that like I really did not care. I didn’t have anxiety, I wasn’t sad when they shaved it off.

"I just thought, 'Cool. Now this is what I’m doing.' I think it started to hit me months and months in where you get to that age where you’re 11 now and you’re shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length because we’re filming, so continuity-wise you’re shaving it, so every time it started to grow and I’d get excited, we’d shave it again."
