Millie Bobby Brown shuts down photographers telling her to smile on the red carpet
Millie Bobby Brown shut down photographers who told her to smile on the red carpet before promptly storming off.
The actress, 21, walked the red carpet as she attended the London premiere of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things
Cameras flashed and a media pack shouted for the Hollywood star's attention as she posed for photos on the press wall.

As she did so, a number of photographers could be heard repeatedly telling Brown to "smile", a request that appeared to offend her.
Video footage from the event shows the moment Brown's face dropped after hearing the request.
"Smiile?" she said, seeming unimpressed.
"You smile," she offered back.

Brown then walked off the stage, wrapping up the photo opportunity altogether.
The clip of the moment has since gone viral on TikTok, leaving many online with mixed opinions.
Some felt her response was "rude" and "disrespectful" while others praised her for it.
"I'm so glad she's standing up for herself," one TikTok user wrote.
Before she shut down the photographers, Brown had been smiling and dancing around on the red carpet.
It's not the first time the young star has called out media for their commentary.
Earlier this year, Brown called out certain publications that discussed her ageing and changes to her look.
Speaking with British Vogue earlier this month, she labelled it "bullying".

"I respect journalism ... I understand that there's paparazzi, even though it's invasive, even though it feels like shit to me, I know that's your job," she said.
"But don't, in your headline, slam me at the get-go.
"It is so wrong and it is bullying, especially to young girls who are new to this industry and are already questioning everything about it."
