-You know my next guest from her Emmy-nominated work
on "Stranger Things."
Now, you can see her starring in the new movie "Enola Holmes,"
which is available on Netflix now.
Here's Millie Bobby Brown.
Millie, thank you so much for coming back on the show.
And thank you for doing the first Lip-sync Battle over Zoom.
And congratulations on the win and everything.
-[ Laughs ] Thank you so much. Thank you.
I really -- I really worked hard on that.
Do you understand? Three days I was sitting there
thinking, "What should I do for these songs?"
And -- and this is what I came up with.
-You crushed it. Hey. I saw this tweet last night.
Does this mean what I think it means?
Is season four of "Stranger Things" in production?
-Um, I mean, I guess that's --
guess that's what they're trying to say.
[ Laughs ]
Very obviously, I just can't wait.
I can't wait to get back to work.
I miss playing Eleven so much.
And, you know, to think it's been quite a while
since I've just been on set with my friends again.
-Yeah. -And just playing Eleven.
You know, she's always such a challenge to play.
And I just miss work, to be honest with you.
-I heard that -- I don't know if this is true but
before you got the role in "Stranger Things" as Eleven,
you were about to quit acting?
-I was -- I think I was just very disheartened
by the rejection, which is something I tell everyone is,
like, this industry is such -- is just full of rejection, 24/7.
-It really is. -Yeah.
I feel like you do get far more -- I mean, you get nos,
a lot of nos, before you get a yes.
And I was auditioning for commercials,
for anything, really.
I, then, auditioned for "Game of Thrones"
and I got a "no" for that.
And then, that's kind of when I was like,
"Oh, this is really difficult."
And I guess I really wanted that role.
So one of my last kind of goes at this all
was -- was this Netflix show called "Montauk."
And I auditioned.
And then, like, two months later, they just --
they got back to us, and was like, "Hey," like,
"We'd love to -- we'd love to Skype with you."
And then, I Skyped with them and, you know,
the rest is history, of course.
We then named the show "Stranger Things"
and that's -- blah, blah, blah. But, you know, "Montauk"
was definitely the one that kind of that hope
of doing it all again.
-And now, you're -- look at you.
You are starring in a new film for Netflix
called "Enola Holmes," which I loved, by the way.
-Yay! -It is fantastic.
My girls are going to flip. Love it.
I'm going to show it to them this weekend.
It's getting crazy great reviews.
92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's reached number one in most countries.
Has -- it -- it's so charming. I loved it.
I can't even tell you. Henry Cavill --
-I love this. This is so awesome.
-I want to go on and on. Henry Cavill's fantastic in it.
Helena Bonham Carter.
I mean, how great, her acting?
She does like 25 faces in one face for every like --
-Amazing. I -- just to even --
just to say I've worked with her is just an absolute honor.
And she is, you know, I think,
one of the best female actors in the whole entire world.
And just to have her play my mother was just an honor.
And then, we have Sam Claflin and Henry Cavill,
which was just amazing.
I think we had such an amazing lineup of cast.
-Everyone knocked it out of the park on this one,
I got to say. It was great.
And you -- you've -- you were a producer on this?
How -- how was that experience?
How'd you get -- -Yes.
-...to be a producer? -Yeah.
Well, the -- the idea really came to my family and I
when my older sister, Paige, read the book series.
And after, kind of, feeling so immersed by the story of Enola,
we wanted to bring this to, you know, screens
for people to see, visually. -Yeah.
So, my dad, with our production company, PCMA Productions,
we found a studio.
We found a writer. We found a director.
And we just pushed for this film to be made.
I think, for me, I was on this journey,
you know, in the production side.
So it only felt right for me to produce, and to be able to
kind of be, not only on screen but off of camera.
And just to have an opportunity like that was amazing
for, you know, young filmmakers, like, you know, me who just --
I do want to make films,
and I've always been really into that,
as well as being on screen. -Yeah.
-So, having that opportunity was awesome.
-You get to learn so much.
I mean, but also, I love hearing you having a --
an English accent in a movie because you're so --
you're so good at doing American, that I'm like,
"Oh, she gets to do that." -Yeah.
-Was it easier? -Um, no,
because I like to just go straight into
my American accent, and I can just be like,
[ American accent ] "Hi," like, "My name's Millie Bobby Brown."
[ English accent ] And then, when I have to focus on
doing an English accent, I was like, "Huh,"
because I had to say...
"advertisements," right?
So, I usually say advertisements,
but in England, you say advert-isements.
-Advert-isements, yeah.
-For instance, you know, here you say privacy.
In England, you say priv-acy.
So, those types of things. I grew up in America.
So this is like -- I'm very much used to that.
And doing an American accent's a lot easier
than doing an English, I think.
-How do you say controversy?
-Controv-ersy. You say controv-ersy.
I say controversy. But my -- my sister,
in every meeting, she's like,
"Well, that's, you know, controv-ersy."
And I'm like, "Hey, no." [ Laughter ]
-I love that. You crushed it.
And honestly, the fight scenes were great.
I -- I just --
There wasn't one second I would be like, "Eh, that was --"
Everything was phenomenal. I loved it.
-Yeah. Thank you. -Congrats.
I think you have a franchise on your hands, buddy.
It was just awesome. -Ask Netflix, please.
-Oh, don't even have to ask. They're going to be begging.
Are you kidding me? "Enola Holmes."
It's so good. I want to show a clip.
Here's Millie Bobby Brown in "Enola Holmes."
Take a look.
