“It means so much to me, not only because I’m a child myself, but because I’ve always had a love for helping others,” Brown added.
Brown joins other internationally famous UNICEF goodwill ambassadors David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, Jackie Chan, Liam Neeson, Shakira, among others.
Brown, who plays Eleven in the Netflix thriller “Stranger Things,” has been nominated twice by Emmy.
