    First We Feast

    Millie Bobby Brown is taking on the spicy wings of death again.

    The 22-year-old Enola Holmes 3 actress, producer, and the founder of Florence by Mills made a return to Hot Ones with Sean Evans in the latest episode, following a memorable appearance in 2022.

    During the appearance, which included a special cameo from her Enola Holmes co-star Louis Partridge, Millie discussed raising farm animals, spag bol, looking terrified on camera, whether she considers herself an action star, and why she was “food shamed” on the set of Stranger Things.

    Watch above and see some of the highlights inside…

    On if she considers herself an action star:

    “No, I mean I wouldn’t consider myself an action star. I’m very drawn to action. But like similar to like, I’m not in any way comparing myself to Tom Cruise because he is amazing, but he is such a fantastic actor, but he’s so brilliant in action. And I think like yeah when I read a script, I’m definitely like oh that sounds fun. I’ll do that. But I also do love the very long lengthy monologue scene. So a few of my next films are less action. That’s exciting to get out of that world. Not be on wires you know? I feel like I’ve been on wires for like 10 years.”

    On living on a farm in Georgia and her 500 pound sheep named Norman:

    “I raise my farm animals. And I had a baby lamb who lived in my house and he, you know, I’d throw the tennis ball, all the dogs, and he would run after the tennis ball. He couldn’t pick it up because he doesn’t know how. He’d just kind of stare. And then…baa. And I’d be like I understand. And then he would run to the microwave because he knew that’s where I would warm his bottles up. He was a genius. His name is Norman. And now he’s 500 pounds. And he still thinks I’m his mom. And he baas at my front door thinking let me back into my home. This is where I was raised. And I’m like brother, get away from me. You’re huge. And so now he lives on the farm and he lives a great life. But yeah, I think there’s many friendships where I’m like okay, they’re friends just leave them be and let them get on with it.”

    On why men should wear eye cream and SPF:

    Millie: “I would say SPF is the most important thing. I’m a big, like for guys, I think eye cream. Like you, every guy, everyone, should enjoy a good eye cream. But like eye cream is great for guys. I have like, I’ve watched many actors, many male actors, that are like I got to put my eye cream on. And I’m like okay queen. They take it very seriously. So I think eye cream must have a thing for guys.”

    On her Stranger Things costars food shaming her for eating jacket potatoes:

    “A fluffy potato. Inside, my favorite would be beans and cheese. Also HP Sauce on that. That would be my favorite. And I love– and also when I was on Stranger Things, I used to get food shamed a lot by, when I would go on like they’d be all American and they’d be like mate what the f— are you eating? Because they were like, it’s like you live in the 1800s and you found some like specialty– I would like, it’s wrapped in tinfoil and I’d be like [eating motion]. But then I would like hide in a corner because they’d be like what is that? And I was just like, it’s a jacket potato with beans and cheese. It’s nothing. So they didn’t get it. But when I go on set in England, everybody’s like, I want a jacket.”

    On why Grease 2 is better than Grease, and almost collapsing seeing Michelle Pfeiffer:

    “’Cool Rider’ is the best song ever. And yeah, I’m obsessed with Michelle Pfeiffer. One time I saw her in an elevator and I almost collapsed on the floor because I was like, that was my childhood growing up. I used to be like, ‘Do you really wanna know what I want in a guy?’ It was my everything. I loved Grease 2. And it’s really, it is a hot take. But like what else do you expect from me? I made my husband watch Grease 1 and 2. He enjoyed 1 more. But I think that’s why we got married, you know? It’s like you’re 1, I’m 2. And that’s alright.”
