So this is where everything gets more interesting. Well the fourth season begins with a flashback to 1979 and the Hawkins Lab massacre. Eleven was initially blamed for the incident.
Eleven is forced to relive similar events in later episodes, as she sees her younger self in mirrors around the lab. Millie Bobby Brown, on the other hand, did not play her younger self in season four. Martie Blair plays Eleven, an eight-year-old girl.
Millie's visage is de-aged and superimposed on Martie's at times, implying that it is added as a layer.
Martie has reportedly been a Stranger Things fan since she was four years old. She describes playing young Eleven as a dream come true. She also shared this her adorable Instagram image of her "001" tattoo.
The official Stranger Things writers account confirmed on Twitter that Martie Blair plays young Eleven. She turned into her miniature self with the assistance of Brown.
The post has received more than 37,000 retweets and over 400,000 likes. Fans in the thread reacted with GIFs of shock and awe, appreciating the incredible behind-the-scenes work.
One user acknowledged that she thought they had simply de-aged Millie and had no idea she was a whole different person.
Of course, Blair had to go through the same ordeal as Brown and shave off all her hair for the job, which she characterized as the day that transformed her life forever.
The way Martie adapted to the character of Eleven was so convincing that many fans assumed Millie portrayed the part.
Some speculated that they recorded a portion of the season concurrently with the first season of the show. While many thought it was CGI that allowed Millie pull off youthful El.
