Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Shopify. Now that we are officially out of winter, it is time to go out and it's time to start planning for summer.
And it's time to side hustle your way into financial freedom. Daddy gang, starting a new business can definitely be scary, but I am a huge advocate for trying out a side hustle and seeing how far it can take you.
You never know what a side hustle can turn into. I turned my passion for podcasting into a full-blown business, and I know you all have amazing ideas too.
Turn your ideas into a successful business. If you're gonna do that, you need Shopify.
Shopify is a powerful set of tools and resources that helps you start and manage your business, whether it is online or in person. I think financial freedom is so empowering and a side hustle is a great way to make steps towards being your own boss.
You don't have to jump into running a business full-time right away. It can be as simple as creating an online store and running it off of your phone.
Because with Shopify, you can sell anywhere. With a side hustle, you control your own schedule, not someone else.
I love being able to run my merch business on the go because my schedule is so insane that I need every part of my job to work around my time. Entrepreneurship offers the freedom to work when and where you want, designing your day around your passions.
So if you're ready to build your own empire, whether it's merch, products, or the next best idea, get on Shopify.com slash daddy and make it happen. That is Shopify.com slash daddy.
Can you talk to me about how you ended up living on a farm in Georgia? Like what? This is not giving farm girl. This is not.
No, no, no. This is not.
This is definitely not my day to day. I moved to Atlanta to film Stranger Things.
And then that was like, that was 10 years ago. So then we filmed Stranger Things there.
And my parents didn't want me to stay or live in LA. They didn't want to live in LA.
They really wanted to kind of shelter me from the society out here just because it can be overwhelming for child actors. So they kept me in Georgia and then I lived with them up until I was 18.
But then at that point I had like two dogs in my room and a rabbit and they were like, no more animals. And I was like, that's going to be a problem.
So I ended up moving. I bought a house right next to them.
So I have a house next to them in London, a house next to them in Georgia. So I live across the street, but I do live, I live on a farm next to them.
Okay. Take me through how many animals you now have that you're like, goodbye, parents.
Hello, my own farm. How many animals and can you name them all? Yes, yes.
I have, so I have 25 farm animals. So that's like the goats, Cardi B, Slick Rick, Eminem.
I have Frank. I have Betty.
Like they're all named. So the donkeys are like bee names, the cows, Barnaby, Bessie.
So they're all just like that. I do kind of think like what name do I, and then I've realized I've named them all after names I actually really like for kids names like so it's like I am like Winnie like my dog Winnie
I love that name for a kid like I wish I but I cannot because Winnie's truly ruined the name
she's a psycho dog um she's the best dog ever but you know when you have the dog that's just like
emotionally dependent on you yes I'm like I can't now name my child that um I have Winnie these are
my dogs so now I have 10 dogs what so 25 animals live that. I have Winnie.
These are my dogs. So now I have 10 dogs.
What? So 25 animals that live outside. Then I have 10 dogs that live inside, four cats.
And then I have 23 dogs that live outside, but in a sanctuary, in a rescue building that's outside my house that I built to save stray dogs. How many of these animals are sleeping in bed with you at night? Okay, so it actually became a problem.
It was on electric state where Jake said, like, no more. Like, Mill, like, it's becoming a real issue.
We were, like, in the car, and he was like, I can't anymore. And I was like, this is actually an argument we're gonna have right now, because I was like, I love having all of my dogs in bed with me.
But when he's away, I have all the dogs in bed with me. It's like a party.
But now it's only Winnie. Like, it's only Winnie in bed.
And I'm, yeah, livid about it. But here we are.
I'm picturing Jake leaving on a trip and you, like, whistle and they all run into your room. The Rottweiler, the Great Dane.
They're all in there. You have a Great Dane? I have a Great Dane was a thing and everybody was like oh my god such a cute name and i was like i hopped on that train a lot a lot yeah i was right i love that name so much but i have to say barbie to americans because they go bobby and i'm like no it's barbie and then they're like barbie and i'm like barbie oh it's the most annoying thing ever so um yeah no I have oh my gosh an abundance of animals I'm obsessed that you have a great dane like you like so little and then you just have this dog that's ginormous um I see people online are saying that you're in your trad wife era what is your take on that I I I get it like I understand like why they would say that because like I am, I am actually like, I have chickens, I get the eggs.
Like I know what it looks like from afar, except I could not be, and I did get married young. Like it's all, it's all really veering in that direction, except like I am like, you know, I am a really like, you know, I don't know.
I love my job. I love being untraditional and unconventional in so many ways of my life.
But I don't think like, yeah, like me just being, I just think I'm, I love being on a farm and Jake does too. So like that would then make him a trad husband.
I don't know. Oh, I love that for Jake.
You know, like I don't know what that means. I want to just say also, I was thinking about it.
Like, I think it also depends on where you're at in your life. Like, I was cooking on Sunday.
I cooked for my husband. I was like, I am a trad wife through and through.
Yeah. Because I never cook.
So I also think it's like that word. I cook every night.
You cook every night? I cook every night. Yeah, this is the problem.
I know. Oh, you're full trad wife.
I cook every night yeah this is the problem I know oh you're full trad wife I cook every night I love cooking like cooking is like that's where I find like I can put all my anxiety into cooking and I'm really good what is your go-to dish what does Jake like give it to me now he loves I make steak frites I make paella I make I make a roast dinner which is like an English like like, but I make that every Sunday. Yeah, like I do take my cooking very seriously.
I make, we do like a taco Tuesday night. We do, I make the, every Sunday I make what the next week looks like.
She's meal prepping. She's meal prepping.
The only thing I do not, I cannot, I hate going grocery shopping. I always send Jake.
Like that is something I really, I can't. Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah. Okay.
I want to get to know you a little better today. So I'm going to ask you some questions and you're just going to answer first thing that comes to your mind and then we can discuss.
All right. If you could be cast into any reality TV show, which would you choose? The Secret Lives of Morgue of Wives.
i just finished that i'm i'm obsessed i cannot with that show picturing you that is i know i just feel like yeah no that show is epic i just finished love are you a love island girl i am so love island through and through and i feel like anytime someone would ask me this i'm like shit i'm married but my answers would always be love like love island versions yeah i'm like i'm married but i that's all i watch it's like the loved ones yeah i know i and i also think i would be voted out immediately i'd probably be so boring because i hate drama so like if i'm in i just immediately like retreat like i know but you're a bombshell i that's i'm a blonde bombshell no i know we I actually just was in Turks and Caicos with all my friends and we played Love Island like but as if it was like like it as if it was like murder mystery like we all had different characters it was so fun Jake and I like immediately coupled up together I was like he was doing an English accent it was epic it was so epic but was like, that's the closest thing I'll ever get to being in Love Island. Wait, can we talk about your blonde hair? Yes.
Are you feeling like this is like an alter ego? Like, what's the vibe? You know, I've been blonde before. I don't, people are like so shocked about it.
The only difference, because in Electric State, I was blonde. But the only difference is that we just, we did go to like my roots.
So I am now like platinum, platinum blonde. Whereas before I was leaving quite a lot of like the dark, my dark, like darkness.
And next I'm naturally quite dark. But yeah, I like, I think, yeah, I, Jake's like, you look totally different to me.
And so does my dad. I sat in the chair for 13 hours getting my hair done, walk the room my dad's like oh I was like that is not no dad I mean again I know one more time and this time I'm gonna need a gasp I'm gonna need applause um but no I just think I look really different to what people are usually seeing me as but it's so fun yeah it's so fun okay Sabrina Carpenter arrested you at her atlanta show yeah but if you really went to jail what do you think it would be for like having too many dogs or something terrible like there would be like millie it's just too many dogs no um maybe like maybe like in like trying to like like i have been in situations where if i feel like dogs are being mistreated like I would you're going to steal a dog yeah if I needed to like if I thought a dog was being mistreated I think I'd probably just saving a dog like in general that would be what I go otherwise like I am I am you have no idea this is what leads back into the track I am so like straight and narrow like do not I'm never'm never, ever.
Yeah, I follow every single rule.
I am a rule follower.
I love that for you.
Yeah.
Okay, what is something the Brits do better than Americans?
Gosh, this is interesting.
I don't want to get in trouble.
I would say I think the banter is just a lot better.
I do love America.
My husband, his friends, my friends here in the States, like, and even Jake's family like have great banter. So I'm not taking that.
They do have really good banter and actually Americans can have quite like English banter, but my family is just, it's another level. We watch it on Love Island.
Yeah, exactly. Like you watch the difference.
U.S. just had its best season yet.
It still doesn't compare to the banter. No, the banter.
The drama is great. The drama here is so much better.
Yeah. But in England, the banter is unmatched.
The banter. Okay.
What is something random that pisses you off? Oh, I mean, what pisses you off? Like what random are we talking here? Like it depends how gossipy we want to get. I'm like when someone lies to my face and you can i can kind of tell when someone's lying same because you know when they like do that clench jaw thing where you're like no you're fully lying to my face but i then bad at being confrontational right so i'm like really good at being confrontational you are see that's the thing i don't like drama but if you like come at me with something i am i will confront you because I just feel like I'm not the I'm not the kind.
If you met my mom, we are not the kind of family that like takes bullshit. Like we will just tell you right then and there.
Like we don't wait a couple of days to simmer. We're like, no, no, no.
This is you wait. I need to get so much better at that because I wait and then I like ruminate on it and I'm thinking about it.
And then I'm like question if you're in the wrong you can't have time for that no time for that no you have to be like no these are the facts and also I never I never want to forget you know when they're like but when what happened and I forget I want to know right in the moment so for me um yeah I I don't like maybe what pisses me off I I mean obviously lying is so annoying yeah um and I'm an actor so I can also see when people lie like I can see when people are fibbing um but I would say gosh maybe just like when people um when like but this is this this makes me not just pissed off this makes me like leave a room cut like I don't see you really this is like loud loud slurping loud chewing like loud anything like that I cannot bear like it hurts me it really really hurts me it sends shivers down my spine like that bad oh wait do you have tiktok no oh good for you because I was gonna say what are you doing do you ever go on like youtube where people do eating videos no ever no I couldn't do that I mean I was watching a show the other day I'm not even gonna say what I don't say what show it was, but I was watching a show and I was in bed and he was eating and I went, disgusting, disgusting, put on mute, put on mute. I couldn't.
Jake was like, calm down. I was like, I can't.
Why would he eat like that on a show? Do you get grossed out by your own eating? No, but this is the problem. I'm deaf in one ear.
So when I chew, I can't hear anything else. But like, I can't hear anything.
So if I'm in a room with someone chewing, I eat something really loud. So I can't hear them.
Interesting. Yeah.
Do you have Jake sit on your, the side where you can't hear when you're having date night? No, actually he already likes to sit next to each other on date. He doesn't sit opposite.
What about your opposite? It depends on the seating. Like if it's a booth situation i love a corner booth yeah so we can both be in there and we're people watching yes and we're like look at those freaks look at that person they look like they're breaking up they look like they're in love but sometimes we'll be across from each other yeah you're next to each other yeah no but he he i'm not like i'm i'm just i'm just kind of bad enough where like things are just like very very like muffled underwater to me I miss a lot of things he says he calls it selective hearing I disagree but um but I miss like action and cut like I do miss very important things in my life like because I can't hear it's great it's yeah I was born with it and I just they've never they kind of gave up she said she's broken let's talk about you growing up okay obviously you got your big break on Stranger Things.
We need a little behind the scenes. You have the biggest fandom.
Obviously, people will forever love the show. Can you share like any funny or chaotic story that just like happened behind the scenes that we weren't privy to as fans that you can just give us a little anything? I mean, honestly, there was like as much as it, you know, we grew up on the show and we were so young that like we had so much fun as kids.
Like I will say that like we as much as we worked and like we had schedules were crazy. Us kids, we were we stuck together like glue.
We did everything together. We laughed like all the time.
Like I just I look back on those memories and we did just have so much fun like Noah and I once it was season three Noah Schnapp he and I were the youngest so we stuck together really close because we were silly like the old like the other kids they were older they they they weren't like we were really silly like we would pull faces make noise do like the fart jokes like we were the nightmares of the group and understandably um but we once uh all the teachers were on lunch and we and this is where I don't I wasn't doing a rule following thing I we tp'd the whole classroom and then we hid all of the teachers computers like like and and and then we hid in the closet of of the classroom and when the teachers came in they couldn't find they couldn't find anything the other kids were like what happened in here they're on the radio like where's Millie and Noah we need to get them on set and we were just hysterical in the closet and I just look back on those memories be like you have to do that like weren't you like weren't you like yeah like my husband's like he used to tp um like with his siblings like before like at Halloween yes I wasn't doing any of that I wasn't allowed to so just like those moments you look back and you go we were so silly no that is so cute because I agree it's like that is the stuff that I was doing around my neighborhood. Yeah.
When my kids would be like TPing trees and everyone's like, oh, my God, we're going to get in so much trouble. I know.
But then when we came out, the teachers were belly laughing at us and the ADs were rolling their eyes because they're like, of course, they would do that. And they took pictures and we took pictures like in the TPed classroom and all the kids were like, you guys are nuts.
And we knew it. Wait, that's cute's cute okay who on the cast is most likely to make someone laugh during a scene oh gosh I mean for me personally like Noni makes like Winona makes me laugh like because she's just so she's so wholesome sometimes like she and like I just she makes me chuckle and she knows she does like so I think her or um or Noah like Noah knows how to get like Noah knows my weakness because Noah will like do the silly we make fun of each other's like poses so like in Stranger Things he always does like he always feels the demogorgon and like he always goes like and I will do it with him behind the camera to sabotage him and then he does the same he'll be like and I'm like and just, we sabotage each other.
Like, what can we, like, that's what we do. That, and then like, he knows my weaknesses, but they all make me laugh, honestly.
Like I am easily the one to break for sure. Okay, who gives the best advice? Oh my gosh, Winona.
Who does their own stunts? Me. I, from, I don't know.
I don't like, especially that I do my own stun my own stunts i do all of them yeah who do you think is most likely to have the craziest fan interaction finn finn i think finn finn is just so like he's just so like he's so funny and i feel like i feel like his fans also are a little bit more like you you know, he has a huge following because he's
Mike, like people love him. Like I know even so many of my girlfriends growing up were like been basically posters on the wall.
So I think he probably would have. I do have some some weird experiences, but I think him maybe the most.
I don't know. I was going to say, I feel like you've had what is like one of your weirder fan interactions that you've had in your life? One time I had a man bring me at an event a coffin with a doll of me in it.
And I was like, oh, so cute. That's like your people pleasing tendency.
I know, I know. Because I was like, I'm not going to like, I was like, oh, my gosh, that's so that's so cool.
And you worked so hard on it. And I was and then he wanted to give it to me.
And I was like, no, no, no, I'm OK. I don't want to take that with me.
So I signed it. And then I gave it back to him.
Millie? I'm trying to help. You know, I don't want to make him feel bad.
Those are the moments in life where like I have so much respect when you watch those videos of like a celebrity getting just like cornered. And in that moment, there's no right way to handle that.
And probably if someone wasn't being filmed like a normal person, be like, what the fuck are you doing? But you're like, this is so thoughtful. You worked so hard on that.
No, I know. I'm obsessed.
Yeah, I know. Okay.
You obviously had to shave your head the first season. did you feel about that I honestly did not did not care like like and I'm saying that like like I really did not care I didn't have anxiety I wasn't sad when they shaved it off I just thought cool like now this is what I'm doing like I think I think it started to hit me months and months in where like you get at that age where you're 11 now and you're shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length because we're filming so continuity wise you're shaving it.
So every time it started to grow and I'd get excited it'd be like we'd shave it again. So I think it became to the point where I was like like 12, 11 or 12 where I was like the boys started liking girls and I and I was kind of like maybe why are boys not liking me and then I was like oh I'm feeling like insecure now so I would put wigs on and I got I did get really really like bullied like in public um people would like make comments and stuff but on I honestly like I still to this day like loved the
experience and I would do it again like I always tell Jake like for my first baby I want to shave my hair off like I don't know I just feel like such it was really like liberating would suggest it for anyone any girl wait so you're saying if you when you have your first child you would shave your head yeah like when you have the child or when you're like right like maybe like right before I'm about to give birth.
Because I just think like hair is such a ordeal anyway to deal with like why I'm gonna like nurture my child why like deal with my hair and I think it's such a liberating experience like to be a woman is is and I felt like I had that experience as a girl but I'd like to have that experience as a woman that's pretty incredible that even you saying like you experienced bullying from it you did it at a young age but now I feel like to hear someone own something that they were shamed for and made fun of and be like oh I'd do it again like that's how do you think you got though to that point from being like insecure about it at one point to now wanting to almost like relive the feelings and experience again yeah I just don't I just don't allow like outside noise to influence something that meant so much to me at that time like that it I did love it like I would go home and my mom and dad like always supported me always hyped me up told me I looked amazing and like so that it was a fantastic experience is when I stepped out my door when I felt like people were making me question if it was looked good or not. Like they did, but they didn't infiltrate like my front door, you know, those that noise didn't.
So for me, like, and I know I'm in a much stronger place now, like that I could deal with that noise. I don't care.
I deal with it every single day. So for me, I'm like, that's nothing.
Even you talking about that though, Millie, of like starting at 10, then having this experience where people were so fixated on like what you were looking like and your hair, and then you start to mature and become a young woman. And I feel like it was obvious for so long that you were so hyper-sexualized in media.
Everyone was so fascinated as you were growing up yeah how do you think that impacted
the way that you approached romantic relationships as you started to like become a young woman
call her daddy is brought to you by lululemon daddy gang we all know that having a good workout fit makes the workout so much better in my opinion it is make or break okay there is nothing worse than when you're trying to do squats in a pair of leggings that are slipping down or even worse, they're see-through, okay?

that I have the Lululemon Glow Up Tight.
The fit, it's snug.
I like it.

So I didn't like when I was like talking to boys, it was usually like either people in the industry or like, like that's kind of the only way I didn't go to school. I didn't go to parties.
So I didn't meet any. It was mostly online.
Like I like that's kind of where I was like oh that boy's cute but like I don't know like maybe and maybe one day I'll meet him and then I you know and that's kind of how that happened it was never like I dropped my coffee and met you know a guy like that just wasn't the case to me so I was like kind of I never got to meet anyone everything was very monitored yeah in terms of when I met a boy I feel
like every time I've sat down with anyone that was a child actor they talk a lot about like how normalized it was like you kind of mentioned like you're around adults all day like yeah you were fortunate to have a pretty big cast of like younger kids but you're interacting in like a pretty adult way like do you ever look back and be like oh my god I became so used to maybe like interactions with adults that weren't as normal for young kids 100% I 100% agree with you like that that's that's something I again I actually just talked about it um in my Vanity Fair cover but like for me yeah I have trouble communicating even still with people my own age and I'm now 21 and I'm still like okay like I can't I sometimes I find it hard navigating conversations or finding things in common um and that I know is just due to like my lack of socialization with children um but I if you put like a 60-year-old woman in front of me, I could talk for maybe like four or five hours. And I grew up with people over the age of 30 all the time.
And now I can have a conversation with – most of my friends basically are over 25 do you find that you are different like even me like sitting with me I'm just turned 30 like thinking about you interacting with me versus if you were interacting with like a six-year-old do you think you would speak to us differently or like your vibe changes yeah no I definitely think my vibe changes like vibe changes. Like I feel so comfortable talking to you.
I have a 30-year-old sister. So we are like very close in the way I, and I think also that has a lot to do with it.
Like I have a 27-year-old brother, a 30-year-old sister. So we have very big age gaps.
So I grew up with a lot of adults in the house anyway, but I do have a 12-year-old sister. So I do love kids.
I grew up having a baby in the house so for me yeah I do I do really connect with with kids yes so that it's like it's like really like under 10 it's in between 10 and like 21 that I'm just like I don't know what to talk to you about and I'm really scared I don't have TikTok so I really don't know what you're talking about if you're like making a joke about something that that's where I struggle I love that for you though because you don't need to be on the other day something was just said oh gosh and my husband was like Millie and it's just like the yeah the golden white dress like I'm I'm just realizing what that is like so that's where I that's where I'm at I love that for you I actually think you should stay right there because the shit that fills our brains online,
none of this is useful.
None of it.
Okay, let's talk about your relationship.
Okay.
You married Jake Bon Jovi.
How did you guys meet?
We met through a mutual friend.
My friend was going to college where he was going to college.
And I wound up getting his number, but never actually called him. I was single and was just kind of like, I'll put it in my phone.
I don't even know why I had it in my phone, but I just put it in my phone. She ended up not going to that college.
So then they like, we were like all kind of like, I don't know. We wanted them to like be friends and like I want I really wanted her to find a group um and then we it was four months later and then I just came home from work and I was in my room and I thought I'm just gonna cold call people yeah I was like I'm so bored and the first person I cold called was him and I and I was like hi my name is Millie and he was like hi I'm Jake and I was like um and the first thing I said so like gross I was like are you single and he was like yes and I was like okay and then I was like um where are you and he was like I'm at college and he was at college at the time and I was like okay um I was like I'm single too and he was like great like and he we were friends for a while like we'd text back and forth and called and we watched like shows on zoom and stuff like together but we he did not flirt with me like once like when I tell you I'm really good when I can sense that like had no clue and I said to my mom you're gonna have to sit in on a conversation I have with him and tell me are you getting that because I don't know if he's flirting with me or not and I went down to my parents after a phone call one night I said he's either gonna be the maid of honor at my wedding or the groom I don't know which one it's like I don't know he's either gonna be my best friend or like my husband I cannot tell and um she sat in on the conversation and she said he isn't flying with you like he isn't like he doesn't show any signs of interest and he was he's just so respectful like so like and I and basically one night I just said to him I really like you and I really don't want that to ruin our friendship because I really like our friendship but I do really like you and I just want you to know and then he was like wow you're so bold and I was like what do you mean um and then the next day he was like I really like you too we should we should meet and so we met and then like the rest is history men I know it took him that long though to be like yeah no I do like you I was like wow you're so so bold had to fall asleep wake up the next morning to thinking oh he actually despises me to him being like no i do actually really like you like you falling asleep on zooms together yeah you're like i don't need a best friend no i know but i'm glad you thought it was all just like platonic at first like but again he was like just he that's him like through and through like even like he's just that kind of guy like he is so friendly so nice to everyone he could literally have a conversation with a brick wall I cannot so like I literally like cut to the chase do you like me and he's like wow you're so bold I know he's gonna kill me for saying that but that is the truth that though is like what I do love about that is I feel like on the other side, I've spoken to women about their like interactions with the guy at first.
And it's like, there's something endearing when a guy is not like the most like aggressive pursuer, because it just feels like you being the one that was like, hello. Yeah, I know.
Are you seeing what's happening here? We have great connection we're good friends like and i knew his favorite color like favorite food all the things before i met him and then when i met him um i walked through the airport and usually this is a huge ick for me like just like men picking me up from an airport make me feel sick like i can't i refuse i had it's just like I've had bad experiences where they get me flowers and I'm like, I cannot interact with you ever again. It just freaks me out.
I just think it's like weird. He picked me up and I was like in love.
Like I was like, oh my God, you've broken the cycle. How have you broken the cycle? Billy, this is the most random ick I have ever fucking heard from anyone on this show.
You don't see what I'm coming from. No, no.
You don't see where I'm coming from. Actually, I can so see it though.
Just the standing there waiting. I just can't.
I can't bear it. Now, in hindsight, I remember back in New York when I dated this guy.
Yeah. He was there with like his little joggers on and he was just standing.
Oh, you're going to throw him. We're both going to throw up.
Did he have flowers? No. He had a little sign.
No gonna throw up you have flowers no no because if you
need a little sign no no no no no are you kidding me i would have turned back into tsa and gone check me like actually get me a boarding pass get me on the next plane never speaking to you ever again i'm sorry i can't bear it a sign a sign are you a chauffeur no like actually no way no i can't i can't i really can't no it's so accurate though of them standing there so he fully broke the cycle no he actually did something even worse he picked me up and spun me around which again could add to my ick and i loved every second of it i was like like like loved it i loved it so much it was epic but yeah no I any other man that did that I would have got him in a headlock yeah no absolutely not so you know he broke the cycle thank god oh my god Jake we love that for you yeah no I know okay I heard that the first time then Jake hung out with your family yeah is you went on an RV road trip all of you together yeah i know what my family if we we don't like to fly anywhere we like to drive so we've literally like my whole life we get in a car and we drive we've driven from la to vancouver we've driven from florida to la like we do road trips everywhere so we go to the south a lot like that's just like what we do and it's kind of like his
initiation like if he can't pass that then like you know I mean like if you can't sit in a car and sing songs with my family like that's gonna be a huge issue so I invited him to uh on a family road trip we got in an RV he had never been in an RV before which I was like what what do you mean never really love it like this is my favorite um we got in and he just fit right in like my family were like kind of scared they were like we're gonna we're gonna traumatize him for basically 16 hours but he loved it like he got out the gas station brought us all snacks we all sung songs and I and then from then on I was like oh if my family my who like, when we first met, when he first met my dad, my dad was driving to pick him up and I was mortified. I couldn't even believe we were all getting in a car together.
Like we picked him up from the airport and my dad stopped at the airport, like side pickup. And as Jake's getting in, my dad started driving as he's getting in the car.
And I was like, dad, stop, dad, stop. And he like hopped in and Jake like swung his hair back and was like hey Mr.
Brown and clothes so suave like it was unbelievable how he like killed it and I like looked him I was like dad like you didn't stop the bloody car and uh yeah no Jake killed it and I and I remember thinking like oh if he's gotten through that like that's the hard part not your dad being like you know what i'm gonna keep it fucking moving and let's see how you get in also kind of baller that jake was like instead of just standing there like wait stop the car no no he got in and was like hey mr brown and i was like oh my dear god get me out of this car not only have we picked you up from the airport you're now meeting my father who hasn't stopped the car and and you have all your luggage that we now have to get in the car while you're moving i was like i'm getting hot and then we got in the we we he walked in the house and my mom was watching the impossible like the most the saddest movie of all time to which my mom is bawling her eyes out jake's like hi mrs brown and my and like my mom's like call me kelly call me ke Kelly and I was like oh this is horrific no it was really bad and then it was red no I am thank you for sharing this because I'm like physically crying over here the picture that you're painting yeah is this like beautiful chaos yeah and then the RV trip and it's like you're a part of the family exactly no and like seriously my parents like when he went to bed that night my my parents looked at me and they were like, he is like fantastic. Like we love him.
And I was like, really? After everything you put him through? Yeah, I think he is great. Are you joking me? Wait, was it as crazy when you met his family? No, no, no.
They are so different. They are so like, you know, everything's put together.
My family, they were not watching the impossible. They did stop the car when they picked me up.
Like, it's very different. Um, no, they're just like the sweetest.
Like we had dinner, we talked. Um, I was really nervous to meet them.
Of course. Like you don't, you don't, you never know what's going to happen if they're going to like me.
Um, but yeah, I was just, I'm very like, I try to keep I don't you don't you never know what's gonna happen if they're gonna like me um but yeah I was just I'm very like I try to keep I don't want to like you know catfish you so I'm gonna show you who I am like from the very beginning you know um so I am like I am crazy and nuts and fun but like um yeah I think they really liked me at the very beginning and it was like getting to know each other and really like talking out everything and I think they saw how much Jake liked me. So I think, yeah, they got to see that.
Whereas my parents like to be in the relationship and they're very much like, let's all go out together. Let's all go on vacation.
You're like, mom. Yeah.
I know. But I do love having them around.
Like they are so like, my husband will be like, Mill, like, let's go out to dinner with them. And I'm like, we haven't been out to dinner.
You and I, they're like, they're so funny. And they get like toothpicks sucking their teeth at dinner.
Like, they're just that. They're just those people.
Yeah, they're those. When did you realize like, okay, I really actually see a future with Jake? Hmm.
I guess we've been together for four years. So I guess maybe like when we moved in together and I saw like we had dogs together and we were taking care of our animals and we started living this like day-to-day life I thought oh I really don't think I could ever see you like as anything else like I really want I don't want to be with anyone else ever again I don't want to date I don't want to meet anyone like I want you and um I think when we started talking about politics and how we want to raise our kids and like we started talking about really really bigger things that I've never spoke obviously never spoken about and I'm already very young so I've never spoken about that with like boys anyway but to be able to even think about those things I was like shit like okay maybe I do want to be with you forever but I obviously didn't know if he felt that way like we talked about marriage but I didn't know really when it was going to be and then when we when he proposed I was like it makes sense like everything aligns and like his parents got married really young they're high school sweethearts my parents got married really young um they got married when they went like they well they met when they were 19 so they're just like they're like love stories we had just like really young marriages we had really great um role models growing up so we didn't see any different we didn't get like jaded by like all the other stuff you know because i feel like that's i'm sure people have asked you like oh like did you ever consider waiting or were you nervous get married young but i think when you grow up and you have like a really good example in front of you you just don't just don't see anything else.
Exactly. Yeah.
Okay. We're going to play who's more likely to.
Okay. Are you ready? Yeah.
Okay. Who is more likely to plan a surprise date night? Out of Jake and I? Me.
Really? What's your ideal date night? Like I filled like the back of a pickup truck with like duvets and like I got snacks and candles and we like like yeah we like watch tv and we talked and I had a little picnic so like that that that stuff is my vibe yeah love who is more likely to do something embarrassing in public me if you look back most cringe moment where you're like do not show me that whether it's like something we've seen online you know what I no I'm not embarrassed of anything I know I don't get embarrassed love I know it's really because I don't know if it's like a problem that I really need to take up with my therapist but like I really don't get embarrassed like I'm like yeah that's just who I am like my parents again if I did like stupid shit like as a kid my parents would just be like laughing that's Millie like never ever took the sparkle of like out of me so for me like yeah like I we were on a road trip and we were in Alabama and it was just me and Jake and our friends and I needed a wee so I just hung out of the car and peed like in a swamp in the middle of Alabama and our friends were like what the hell and and I peed in this cup and I emptied it and then the lid was like a pee cup and then we kept it in the car and we called it the pee lid and like for the whole trip we were just like don't touch the pee lid and Jake's like Millie like you couldn't have like done anything we could have stopped you could have waited I was like I'm gonna pee in a swamp I grew up basically peeing in swamps like are you kidding me like that's just like on the road trips like it's like you need to pee let's go just pee on the side of the road so like that's kind of what we what we did I love that about you yeah I know that about you. So I'm like, I appreciate you sharing this because it's definitely painting a better picture of like who you are behind all the characters that you play.
Yeah. Okay, who's more likely to spill a secret? Me.
Jake is like a vault. I am terrible.
I tell people don't tell me don't tell me I'm gonna tell people what is the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself oh gosh um that I'm I mean that maybe I'm pregnant like I was I caught I was caught buying diapers for my lamb I had like a baby like lamb in my bed and I needed diapers for him so I kept buying diapers for him but people were taking pictures of me buying diapers and like bottles and like I actually tried like pacifiers with him. And people were like, Millie Bobby Brown's pregnant.
I was like, no, no, no, it's my lamb. The next week he grew so big, I had to go get adult diapers.
And then they were really confused. They were like, what the hell is going on here? Millie? Yeah, so that's the weirdest one because I really had a really good excuse for it.
Only you. Only you.
Okay, who is more likely to apologize first if you guys are like in a little jake yeah who's the more sensitive one me i mean jake can be sensitive but it would have to take a lot for him to be like feel like that like he takes like i am obviously like crazy so i for me i am sensitive when it comes to like like i will notice something and i'll be like didn't touch my finger. Like when I was sitting on the couch just then, like you hate me.
That's it. Okay.
Got it. Like I understand.
Okay. But like, you know, like, you know, when you're just like, it's my period.
And he knows that he's like, you're on your, you're coming. You're it's okay, babe.
Like, like he knows, like I am like a pretty stable part. We go like, I go to therapy.
Like I try to like regulate my emotions, but when I'm on my period, like, no, I see hell. It's game over.
It is game over for him and me. Yeah, yeah.
For him specifically. For him.
Yeah, exactly. Okay.
Who is more likely to be the life of the party? Me. Really? Yeah.
Like, like Jake has more stamina. So Jake can like last the whole night when it comes to partying.
I, I am good for a good three hours and then I'm midnight and I'm like, peace up. Like, that's it.
Like cannot, cannot lie. It's just really hard.
All of our friends, like they went to college. So they, they can go.
Have you ever played beer pong? Yeah. And I'm great at it.
I just learned beer dye. What is that? Do you know die is you know what that is it's impossible you have to throw basically die like dice in the air it lands on the table you have to catch it if it lands in the beer you gotta drink the beer like it's a whole thing but we just played it and i'm terrible at it but beer like beer pong is like great you're good i am good at that what did you do for your 21st birthday we went to tax and cacicos with all of our friends.

Do you remember like when you got your like first big paychecks, obviously from Stranger Things and you're like, wow, like my my life is going to be different now do you remember anything that you purchased where you were like stressed about it but you're like I'm gonna do this for myself I I bought a pair of Chanel sunglasses and my parents were like you should buy them like you like them and I was like what do you mean like because I I really like to be transparent I grew up with no money like did not grow up with any money so like we we never owned a house like so we I have a bit like I have like a money like thing like where I get like I'm just like very conscious about money so um and my parents like like they they say it's important for me to keep that it's just good to know like about money and, you know, and not splurge. But I remember buying a house like with my parents and being able to do that because for the first time we were able to actually not be like scared about renting and like the landlords and, you know, like usually like the dog shit on the carpet when we have to then hide it from the landlords and all that.
you know we're a crazy family so we usually always lost the deposit on a rental so so it
was nice to just buy a house and be like, let's paint the walls. Like, you know, it was really nice.
That's so, so sweet. Yeah.
Okay. You got married around the same time that I did last year.
Yes. I remember like seeing your photos.
Yes, I remember seeing yours. No, you looked so stunning.
Thank you. I am so happy for you and I can just I am so happy for you and I like I listened to you before you like met Matt so like I like I like I felt like and I'm sure like listeners feel the same way just like you going through that love story and seeing you fall in love and like you were so like you know like like afraid and like to fall in love and like that and to see you happy just makes my heart so happy.
No, you're so sweet. Thank you.
I remember like the first day I told the daddy gang that I had a boyfriend. I was like going to vomit.
I remember calling my mom being like, what if they're mad at me? Like, I'm not doing the single days anymore. No.
She was like, I think they're going to be ready for it, Alex. Like, you've given them enough of how to like be single.
Now let's show them maybe if you can do a relationship. And you have ample experiences of like that, you know you know like and you have guests that are able to go like talk about that but like you being in love is so important thank you you're you know your journey is priority thank you let's talk about your wedding okay one to ten yeah how bridezilla were you okay hold on i think that i was good i didn't stress i wasn't stressing I'm just a planner so like I'm not like yelling at people or anything like I'm not bridezilla but like I knew every second of that schedule like every second like I apparently which I don't really remember this because I think I blacked out right before I walked down the aisle but I apparently like like I knew the second of the song that people would go down the aisle to.
So I had a really big wedding party. And I knew that right before I would go, okay, you guys go.
And I knew the second that the song would go, right? So I'd go, you guys go, you guys go. Like I was ready because they were walking down the aisle.
And I had forgotten to put my veil on. I forgot.
So by the time that everybody went, oh shit. And my dad went, Millie, it's your turn.
And I was like, it's my turn. and like I put my veil on and I had forgotten to put my veil on I've forgotten so by the time that everybody went oh shit and my dad went Millie it's your turn and I was like it's my it's my turn and like I put my veil on and I was like oh my god now I've got a cue myself and like that's like the AD in me like to be like I have to be so I and my and Jake said at the end of the aisle he saw my arms waving around trying to like make sure everything was perfect were you like that no not at all this is so beautiful yeah so because first of all picturing you back there you I already now like getting to know you more you're like one yeah two I'm like three you're so cute in yeah that you're like almost like direct actor in me I cannot help it but like make sure everything's perfect and Jake literally like after um in our like on our honeymoon Jake was like you're gonna come like you're gonna have a come down like because every single day I'd have meetings and I would like to the point where like I had everything engraved everything thought about and so yeah I think for me like after it happened like after the wedding did you have like a really bad kind come down? I did.
I think like I had it a little different in the sense that like I wasn't as into the planning. But then when I got there, it was truly one of the most magical weekends of my life.
And like everything fell into place. It was so perfect.
And I hate even saying those words because I was the person on my show being like, don stress about your wedding yeah and then I got there and I was like this is incredible yeah everything you've built with this person and not just this person with your family is coming together like yeah there's just this like aura around you that is so indescribable I know because when you go to other people's weddings not to be a dick but like you don't really care when you're there you're like I'll have a drink I'll sit here I know the vows are cute you're crying but you're not that when it's yours no it's a different it's a different feeling so I had the come down of just like whoa yeah I wish I could go back and get like be in it even more it's lightning in a bottle like the feeling unmatched like I I will say as much as I did like control every factor of it I I enjoyed like I remember everything about the ceremony the vows like I remember the feeling I remember like not caring like you know um my guests were stood up for like the most of our ceremony because like we forgot to sit down so like and even that I'm like I just don't care like I love it like it's just like it's just part of it. It's the story you get to tell.
And after I let the reins go and I was like, I'm whatever happens now is just fun. Don't, didn't you feel that? Once you do the vows and the ceremony, done.
First dance, I did get a little bit. Did you do a first dance? Okay, I didn't do a first dance because I was like, I have two left feet.
I don't want to do this. So we did a first shot where we got everyone a shot but wait what did you dance to so we did a six minute choreographed routine Millie I know this is this is also my and I can't believe Jake actually did it we did um a grease medley so it started with you're the one that I won it went into summer nights it went into we stick together.
like we did it was it was a medley of grease we dressed as like Sandy and no you didn't Danny yeah it was but it was epic it was like unbelievable people could not believe what they were hearing and that was the only thing that I looked at Jake and I was like if you let me down on this like we have been practicing for a year and a half like and we we went to dance lessons like that it was very very strict for me i've always wanted to do that i was like i'm either like gonna do that or i'm gonna dance down the aisle so it's you choosing and jake was like okay we'll do the other one but he loved it he absolutely loved it like he got into it oh we did not miss one beat like it was any and after you know practicing for a half, I thought, wow. And it was it was really and I don't regret that one bit.
Like everyone was like it was like we put on a show and it's like he also is an actor. So we just loved being able to like do that for everyone and perform.
That is so iconic to think of you guys doing that together. But that's the beauty of having these moments in weddings where it's like you have to make it what you want it to be.
And you can't go on just Pinterest and actually try to replicate exactly what someone else said because it's like, what have you dreamt of? Or what do you want? And that moment for you guys, no one's ever going to do that. And if they do, it's because they're copying you.
And it's like that was your original moment. Yeah.
Okay. I saw that Bon Jovi didn't perform.
Did he at least get like, do you want to do it? Or was he like, no no I don't want to do it no honestly like he he um had so much fun he definitely danced the night away like we had moments where we danced um Jake's mom is such a dancer like she oh yeah she's like yeah she loves it like she so we danced the night away honestly like I am so happy that he was just able to be like the father of like the groom, you know? And I was really happy for that. Okay, what was the most traditional and non-traditional thing you did? Non-traditional thing, both of my parents walked me down the aisle.
Cute. Traditional.
Oh, non-traditional. We slept, we stayed in the same bed the night before.
So did we. Yeah, I can't.
I was've already anxious enough why would i why would i put myself imagine being in bed by yourself like staring at the wall being like jake's doing yeah what are what he's doing facetiming him he's doing a zoom watch on the tv show um no i was like i can't do that like we we did say we we might try and then we ended up not doing it um the most traditional i guess cut the cake like we did did you do a cake yeah yeah yeah yeah like it's very traditional like my I'm planning my older sister's wedding now oh my god you're back at it again already I know I love it um and she's like I don't want to cut a cake and I'm like I keep telling her like Paige like it was one of my favorite parts of my wedding was cutting my cake. What did you think?
I definitely.
Did you feed it to each other and do the whole thing?
We did.
It was very special.
And I actually liked it because our moment, we kind of did it on the side where when everyone
was doing their own thing, we kind of didn't do it in front of people.
Oh, cute.
We were by ourselves.
And I think it was another like touch base moment to just be like private and alone for
two seconds.
Because, you know, when you're there, it is just balls to the wall.
Everyone's in and it's so fun. But we tried to find little moments.
We were alone and we ended up doing it alone it was really cute oh that's lovely wait did you guys write your own vows yeah mine were like six minutes like mine were people were like when's it gonna end i'm an actor i cannot help it i had to say everything you're like end again and i was like and one more thing I'm obsessed and Ray performed at my wedding and she performed at Samore while we were cutting the cake so I do think it was like it was a moment like but I do like and she performed her music like Frank Sinatra it was like beautiful very Italian I am so happy for you like I just love talking now about me too. I saw your pictures.
You guys look so happy. It's so fun to just like talk about all the girly things.
I know. We're here because you have a new movie.
First of all, just congratulations. Thank you.
The Electric State. Can you tell me just like about the process, why you loved this project? Like, what was it about this that you were like, I need to be a part of this and I want to be a part of it well the directors the Russo brothers I had met them when I was young they came on to Stranger Things like they are obviously legendary directors and I already work with brothers on Stranger Things the Duffer brothers so and they're twins but the the Russos are just brothers but it was really interesting because we got to see those like they are very similar in the way that they work um and they came on to watch stranger things and then i actually was i i went on to avengers to watch them film and yeah film end game and i sat next to them watch them direct and i remember thinking to myself my dream is to work with them so when they brought me this project honestly it couldn't have it could have been anything i would have taken, but the fact that it was electric state just made it all the better.
Like it was the most original concept I have ever, ever heard of. It was 90s themed, futuristic, such a beautiful messaging behind technology versus reality and the character I'd never played anyone like her before.
And I just thought like you know this this is fantastic and then when I heard that Chris Pratt was obviously going to work alongside me I just I have heard such amazing things about working with him and I thought like you know that's a huge factor of like you know who am I going to work with for the next four or five months like and and what kind of energy they're going to bring every day and let me tell you that man brought the best energy everything never had a never had a bad day and I'm like I will tell like I he never had a bad day he came to set made everyone smile made everyone feel important know like knows everyone's name like just like a pro like an like an expert at his craft that is so nice because I feel like every time in this industry, you're like waiting to meet someone.
Yeah.
And you're like, I hope.
Have you ever met someone where you go?
Yes.
Wow.
It's such a letdown, isn't it?
I know.
Because you're so hopeful.
And then sometimes it's the ones where you're like, wait, I didn't expect this.
Just tell me, have they been on the show?
Yes.
Oh, OK.
That's all I want to know.
You're like, thank you.
I'm going to go back and look at it. I know.
No, but that's really good to know that you had a good yeah oh my god no it's wonderful it's such a great experience you tend to now like i feel like play these really adventurous hero characters yeah why do you think you've been gravitating towards that in your career i think there's enough like men heroes out there like i feel like we've seen enough like do you know what i mean like I love that for them love that for them but I feel like we need young girls to be able to see heroes um as females and to be able to feel like you know we're able to save the world too um and it's bigger messaging on girls being able to be decision makers be in politics um you know change the world for the better So why not see heroes on screen that they can resonate with? Of course, like I want to branch out and work on different things. But for me, there is like, there is a must in that if a young girl is watching, how will she feel watching this? Will she feel empowered? Like, will she feel like she can kind of move forward in a really inspired way?
And so for me, like, yeah, everything I've done thus far feels that. And Electric State definitely feels that.
I love hearing you say that because I think sometimes it's lost on people when actors take roles. They must sometimes just be like, oh, the paycheck was right or the cast was there.
And the fact that you were like intentionally seeking out moments in your career and recognizing like oh this is like an opportunity for like a greater conversation yeah I feel like people do look at you like that Millie where people are like wow you have such a presence on screen thank you but then the undertones of the characters you're playing have such a presence for women which is
like not easy to do so thank you for just like picking these great characters thank you so much okay who is your ultimate moving forward in life who's your ultimate dream co-star margot robbie oh my god can you imagine i would just love to work i'm ready to buy the ticket yeah no i no, I would love to work with her. I think she's just like, she's a pro.
Like she, and she too just feels like, she made me, like she, like when I watch her, I feel inspired. Cause I feel like she's like, she leads her movies with, you know, drive with this sense of like being, feeling like a badass and like, yeah, she works alongside men, but I can't keep my eyes off of her.
So think that's like you know that's huge I would love to work with her obviously like you know Meryl Streep like you know I that would be have you met Margot I have never met Margot I've met Meryl Streep which was also like the blacked out you know I when I met Margot I was like you're even better in person. Really? She's the most normal, down to earth, cool.
Like everything about her. I was like, oh, my God.
I love. Even better.
I know. So whenever you meet her, you're going to just be like, Alex told me about you.
And whenever I meet Meryl, I'm going to be like, Millie told me about you. She's going to be like when she was like when she was 13 you know um okay last question yeah what do you wish more people knew about you I guess um I think that the press they do like they love to go in on me sometimes with certain things like you know I know that obviously people say that I look a lot older you know, that's like a thing that I get a lot is like, oh my god, she looks like 40.
And I'm like, well, yeah, you did meet me when I was 10. So I'd understand now I'm 21.
It's been 10 years. She grows.
My face like grew, you know, I don't know what do you want me to do about that? That and like my accent thing. And like, you know, I think people like to pick on certain things that I say and do.
And I think, you know, obviously I don't want that for any person growing up in the industry, but it really actually doesn't bother me. Like, and I, I wish I could be like, you know what, it does get to me.
Like it used to get to me. It did.
I grew up feeling really, really, it got to me.
And I remember trying to change myself to please the masses. And actually now I'm in a place where like, yeah, like my accent does change.
My face does grow. Like I do wear a lot of makeup.
Like it's just the kind of person I'm, I like that. Like it's fun for me.
And like, you're not gonna tell me how to be a girl like you're not going to tell me how to be a woman like that is not that is not the world I live in it could be the world you live in it's just not the world I've built for myself so I think like yeah I think that that's what people don't know about me in terms of like what they say in the outside noise really doesn't faze me I appreciate you sharing that though because it does humanize you even more like, I think sometimes people just really don't understand the actual level of scrutiny that women go through compared to men. And it's just like an obvious of like, even I'm sure some of your co-stars, like I have other men in the industry that like I'm compared to and I'm like, they've never experienced certain things that like, it's just a different level, especially like you're right.
We literally met you on screen when you were 10 years old yeah I think there's like a hyper fixation on you that as a human being as a young woman like it's so much pressure and I'm so happy that yes you're saying like you've gotten to a point where it doesn't affect you but it still doesn't mean it should happen no absolutely it should never be okay I feel like you know when that stuff comes out about me or about other women and other young girls in the industry I just I I'm disgusted like I can't believe it still happens and if I can do anything to change it like I would like if I always say like if I had a genie wish like I really would wish that no one ever had to go through that kind of scrutiny because it is it changes the kind of person you like are like it changes the way you perceive the world and like you see the bad in everyone you don't see the good you're like what are your intentions what are you going to say about me and I think the press just need to be taught manners again and I think like they need to go back to school and learn how to speak to people be kind and um and just understand that you know we're all growing people we all make mistakes and ultimately like the standards and stigma like stigmatism or the stigmas against um girls um it's ridiculous especially I feel in Hollywood just like I've seen it a lot you know in the world but in Hollywood I see it with young young actors and it's just it's it can jade you and it can make you so different and i hope no one ever has to go through that no i know like we're we've now like obviously we're at time but i just wanted to say like yes yes yes like we could do a whole fucking episode about that together at one point in our careers of just like it's wild so i thank you though for like coming and speaking today with me because this was so fun you're you are so fun I'm thinking about like Jake has to now listen to this in bed oh my god would you ever watch this back or no are you gonna be like don't show me what I said I actually I actually think I will because I want it I yeah it's so fun and I want Jake I want to watch Jake listen to the stories I've told. They're good.
That was tea. That was tea.
