Millie Bobby Brown has said she no longer believes the Earth is flat after making claims in a TikTok video.
The Stranger Things actress, 18, broke her silence on being a ‘flat earther’ while hooked up to a lie detector, and, according to the device, she wasn’t lying.
Brown is asked about the time she said that she believed the Earth was flat in a TikTok video when she was 14 years old.
‘Unfortunately, yes I did [say that]’ the Enola Holmes star said.
When asked if she still believed in the conspiracy, she replied ‘no’ which the lie detector operator confirmed was the truth.
However, she appears to keep an open mind on the theory.
‘I’ve never seen, like the, you know; you know when you’re on a plane sometimes you can see it? The curve? I’ve not seen that yet,’ she added during Vanity Fair’s lie detector series.
Lie detector operator Judd is quick to ask if the actor has seen satellite pictures of the Earth’s curvature, to which she replies: ‘I have. I have, yeah. Thanks, Judd.’
Brown first claimed to believe the conspiracy theory in 2018 during a TikTok Live where a fan asked her if she believed the Earth was flat.
She answered ‘yes’, citing a Shane Dawson conspiracy video.

‘Guys, there are so many facts that it’s flat,’ she said at the time.
‘I mean think about it, like think about it… Guys, you don’t even know, you don’t even know. I think I am, what do they call it? Um, a flat, I think they call it a flat earther.’
Elsewhere, the star recently expressed her interest in playing pop icon Britney Spears in a biopic about her life.
In a recent interview with Drew Barrymore, the young actress was asked if there was anything on her ‘bucket list’ as a filmmaker.

‘I want to play a real person. I think for me, Britney,’ she said.
‘I think her story resonates with me. Growing up in the public eye. Watching videos of her, watching interviews of her when she was younger. The same thing with you!’ she added to the Scream actress.
However, it doesn’t seem as though Spears is too fond of this idea, as she appeared to subtly shade Brown’s suggestion in an Instagram post.
Beside a photo of an ornate door, she wrote: ‘Good news, good news!!! Still breathing … it’s funny the same two people who gave me life are the same exact 2 people who took it away … but guess what!!! I’m alive and I’m breathing again!!!

‘Yeah I know I’ve posted too much this week on Instagram … kinda fun though!!! Now that I’m breathing … I have time … it’s different!!! I like it!!!
‘I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life … dude I’m not dead!!! Although it’s pretty f**king clear they preferred me dead … I guess my family is going to lock their doors now!!!
‘Either way … I just want to say hi and share these fabulous doors!!! I did kinda post too much this week … I’m embarrassed!!! I get it … oh well!!! Have a good day!!! [sic].’
