Hey, guys.

Hey guys.

Well, everybody knows what mine is.

What is?

Favorite candy.

Didn't you just say favorite candies?

No.

Oh no.

You were just thinking that?

Sean, you're hearing voices.

Oh my God, Sean.

He's hearing candy voices again.

Are you thinking all the time favorite candies?

I thought you just said name your favorite candy.

No, nobody said favorite candies.

Oh boy, welcome to Smartless.

Smart. Smartless.
Smart. Less.
Smart. Less.
Smart. Less.
So, listener, Sean is in England. London, England.
And what's, Sean, what you're doing there, this is the Edgar Wright. This is just a little cameo in the Running Man movie directed by Edgar Wright.
You went to England to record some cameos? Uh-huh. Okay.
Yeah, how much you got? How much you got? Okay. Hey, it's Sean Hayes.
Happy birthday. Gary, congratulations.
Sean, you've negotiated... I had to fly to London.
Sean, you've negotiated very nice accommodations for yourself there. Yes, it's wonderful.
Thanks for Paramount Pictures. Oh, lovely.
So that's at least a one-bedroom suite you've got there for your cameo? Well, we get two bedrooms because they're snoring happening. Oh, so you've come out of pocket is what you're saying.
You're going to spend everything you're making just to keep Scotty out of your bed. You know, also, I know we talked about this before, but like the jet lag thing, it is unbelievable.
What time is it right now for you? It's 5.30, and like 20 minutes ago, my head was bobbing. Well, yeah, because it's 9.30 in the morning here in Los Angeles, so you just have spent all night awake.
Night up, right. Let's just say this.
It's safe to say, and I mean this with a tremendous amount of love. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. You operate your normal life as if you have jet lag.
It's totally terrible, yeah. It's terrible.
You should be sent away to a sleep. I mean it because— No, I did it.
I did a sleep study and all that. I have apnea and all that.
Something needs to happen because you're a candidate for dropping dead. What do you mean? Wait, are you saying because he's tired all the time? Well, he just has no— Well, I sleep three or four hours and I'm up, then I sleep another three or four hours and I'm up.
His sleep hygiene is, yeah, it's really bad. And I mean this, I know that I'm sort of joking around, but it is true that it's a, you know, it's serious.
No, I know. I know.
But I tried, listen, I did the thing. I went to the, you know, got the sleep study.
And then they say, you have apnea, it's really bad. And so they sell you that machine.
So I bought the machine and, you know, I just, I tried it for a month. I just, there's so, I could talk for an hour about all the issues I have.
One thing I didn't tell you, Jason, I think I told. Wait, so are you still using the hoses? No, I'm done.
I can't do it. Right.
So now you're just risking, you're risking suffocating to death every day. Yeah, your health.
Yeah. I sleep better without the machine.
No, you don't. I do.
I'm telling you. All right.
I can't do this. But there is something funny that happens with that machine.
You know what it is, right? You hook it up to your nostrils. It goes through your nostrils, and it covers your mouth, and blah, blah, blah.
And so I'm all set up, and Scotty comes in. this is like a few weeks ago, to say goodnight to me, and I have it on, so you can't really talk because all the air is blowing inside of, you know, inside of your mouth.
Yeah, you're like in the ER. Yeah, just like in the ER.
And he goes, all right, babe, I love you, goodnight. And I go, I love you too.
True because you can't take it out of your mouth. I love you too.
But you're now Scotty's real. I mean, you're already his dream guy, but now you're his real because now you've got a whole sci-fi look to you.
You're scratching every inch of his. I look like Prometheus, the guy in Prometheus.
God, dude. Now, does that get him excited? Are you having an increased physical life or decreased one? No, God, it's just the opposite.
Yeah. We're into sort of just like a seasonal touch-up? Yeah.
What do you mean? It's like once in the spring, once in the winter, once in the fall.

You want to know the rate of their sex life?

I do.

Let's do that.

I'm sure our guest will wait.

Let's do that.

I like hearing we get updates from Amanda when you guys do it.

Yeah, right?

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, right.

Unsolicited.

And then Jason, I'm like, hey, Amanda, honestly,

you got to know that I don't want to know this. Yeah, don't want to know about anybody, by the way.
Oh, she loves to share. I know.
It's sweet. God bless her.
It is sweet. Will, thanks for combing your hair.
You started a little bit rough. I'm so sweaty.
I just worked out. You don't need to scream, okay? We're all exercising, all right? Okay.

Fuck.

What are you doing for workouts over there in New York?

Are you outside or are you inside?

No, no, no, I'm inside.

I'm mixing it up.

I've got a few different things that I'm doing.

And Downey put me in touch with these guys who've opened a new facility that I'm going to go look at next week

that apparently they do all sorts of cool stuff.

Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm in touch with a guy and I just haven't had it.
Like what kind of new stuff? Like stuff we don't know about? Yeah, just like new stuff. Like how to kill a guy with a ballpoint pen.
Well, that, yeah, it's just more like street fighting. But you get hot looking while you're doing it.
Yeah, yeah. All right, are you guys ready? Yeah.
I mean, I guess so.

Do you have a whole intro?

Well, our next guest grew up in England.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

But you know what?

She's a real whippersnapper. This 20-year-old has already done a lot.

Yeah.

What?

She's received multiple nominations for Emmys and SAG.

She's produced and starred in her own franchise.

She's written a New York Times bestseller,

now being adapted for the screen by an Oscar nominee.

She's got her own global beauty product line.

She's a star of one of the most successful shows in the world.

And still at just 20 years old,

she's the proud mother of 10 children.

What are you talking about?

They all have four legs.

It's one of his weird intros. Go ahead.
Who is it? Yeah, they've all got four legs, but she doesn't love them any less. Oh, my God.
Guys, please welcome Miss Millie Bobby Brown. No way! You guys.
No way! Oh, my God. I'm such a big fan.
It's very hard to stay quiet while you're taking the piss out of each other.

It's really hard.

Now, Millie.

It's not Millie Bobby.

It's so exciting.

Right?

It's Millie.

Yeah, Millie.

And we're not doing...

Are we doing the Bongiovi as well?

You did take his name.

Yes.

I am, like, legally.

But, like, stage names staying the same.

So, how are you introducing yourself? Hi, my name is... When we sue you...
Yeah, we want to get it right. It'll be Millie Bobby Bon Jovi if you sue me.
Okay, sure. What do you mean, if? Now, Will, you're fairly close to her father-in-law.
Is that correct? I want to say I'm fairly close. I've known him for a number of years.
Yeah, he's a great dude. The best.
A past guest of the show here. Past guest of the show.
Great guy. Yeah, yeah.
We've had John on here. He's a great musician, talented guy, great guy.
What kind of father-in-law is he? Fantastic. Is he? Yeah, like it's been so great because I grew up obviously in the public eye and he started so young

so it was Yeah, it's been so great because I grew up obviously in the public eye and he started so young. It's really nice because he, obviously us being, he's a man and I'm a woman, so we deal with our separate things.
But to be able to come together sometimes and when I need him, he is very much there for me in the best ways. Always making sure I'm okay.
If there's anything that's ever going on, I'm always like, can you help me out in this situation? And he's just so informative. His wisdom is ridiculous.
Yeah, but also such a great person. So for me, it's like, yeah, we talk about about the whole fame thing but it doesn't really come up in conversation it's more about like the kind of person he and his like his wife my mother-in-law is like they are just they're just really good people and like they just do good and they're good people and so I just strive to be like them yeah Yeah, I love that.
They're like really, really admirably normal people. Well, yeah.
It's amazing. Yeah, but also they did everything together, which is so beautiful.
Like everything. They're high school sweethearts.
So to be able to go through that all together as a team, They make such a wonderful team, such great parents, obviously.

Dorothea, right?

She's amazing.

She's really cool.

She really is.

So I've been really lucky.

Like never, you know, I have, my parents are English.

Your dad's amazing.

Please tell him hello.

Love that guy.

You know he loves you so much.

Wait, how do you know her dad, Jason?

Guys, easy.

Don't worry about it, okay? Wait, wait, wait. Millie, how does your dad know Jason? I'm asking her, not you.
We were at an award show party. My dad liked it.
Of course, that's where you'll find him. That's where you'll find my father, apparently.
No, it's Jason. Oh, Jason.
Oh, no, Jason, you were, I think you were... I've got a catering company.
Never mind. No, I think there was...
They just deliver nuts. I think you...
I want to say you were nominated. Something like that.
We were... That doesn't...
That doesn't sound right. And I was too, I think.
So we were together at this party, and my dad never does this. He came up to me, he's like, do you think that you could go up to Jason Bateman for me? Because I love him.
And I was like, I was like 14. I was like, sure.
So I go up and walk over, and I'm like, hi, this is my dad. And anyway, my dad is like the sweetest person, and he is, and he's so personable, so funny.
He's so English. Like you have no idea.
He would be, the banter is endless with him. And so he kind of just makes friends with really anyone.
Like he, yeah, I mean, he's really great. Like he got a coconut cake from Tom Cruise this year.
Like, do you know what I mean? Like, he's just that kind of guy.

Like, makes friends with everyone, loves everyone, and you have to, you just

happen to be one of his favorite people.

And, yeah, that's kind of like,

that's... Up until he met him.

Of course, and then he said, wow, never

meet your idols. So, since you

started so young, he must have been on set

with you a bunch, and then once

you passed 18,

now you no longer get to share full days with him. Because I remember that transition in my life with my parents.
It's like you miss them a bit. Yeah? Yeah.
Well, it's really interesting because when I turned 18, it was this really, like, well, what do we do now?

And do you still want to come?

Because it's also like, you know.

I can drive now, Dad.

Yeah, and also just like, I know it's boring.

Like, I know what you're doing is like, it's sat there boring.

But he now is just my manager and like, we do everything together.

We sign deals together, figure out my next projects together. I talk to him maybe like six hours a day, like on the phone.
If he's not with me, we are talking to each other on the phone. And we're just basically like, yeah, he kind of helps me run my production company, and we just are developing new stories every day.
He's a very creative man. Really creative.
Is he mainly out here in the UK? He usually follows me everywhere because we have separation anxiety. Me and my parents, it's really bad.
We have really bad separation anxiety and he is the worst for it. He doesn't like to admit it, but he really is.

So anytime I'm not in England,

they'll basically follow me around.

This is the longest time.

And he'll get out his calendar in his office.

And he'll be like, not with Millie, not with Millie.

And he's like, okay, I'm not with you for three weeks.

What are we going to do? I'm going to be like that.

That's going to be great for me when my girls leave.

What do you mean?

Well, when they go to college, you know, because I like my daughters.

Do you?

They look so confused.

Sorry.

No, I'm really, this is news to all of us.

Sorry, Millie.

Yeah, their names are.

There we go.

Hey, Millie, how old were you?

We know JB. I know JB is like, you've been worrying about them going to college since they were eight.
I know. It's true.
You're the first guy whose kids have gone away. Shut up, Bateman.
Hey, Millie, can I ask you a question? He has been. He's been like teary-eyed for 10 years.
I know. It's very sweet.
Millie, how old were you? What was your first foray into performing? Like whose idea was it? Was your mom and dad going like, all right, we've got a real hot ticket on our hands here. We need to put her into something.
Or were you like, I got to go do something. Like who, what was that process? No, my parents are like, you know, my dad worked on a fruit and veg stand.
Like he worked at a market, a fruit and vegetable market. So my dad did that the majority of his life.
And that goes back, like actually we have pictures of our family in like the 1800s, like doing that same thing. No kidding.
Yeah. So it's like florist.
What part of the UK was that in? In Dorset. So in the countryside of England.
Okay, nice. And so that's what my dad did.

My mom, you know, she had four kids.

She had her last daughter when she was 41.

So she's been like, you know, the best, most present mom ever

and been very lucky to have that time.

Where are you in that order?

I'm third.

Third, okay.

So my older sister's 30.

My older brother is 27.

And then my younger sister is 13. Wow.
Amazing. Yeah.
They had gaps. It was really weird.
Yeah. And yeah, so basically I...
JB, you have a gap, right? Like 88 to 92? Is that a big gap for you? This one between my teeth, I can whistle with it. I remember you said 88 to 92 is a big gap for you.
Yeah. So there you are.
You're in the UK. Your dad's working for selling fruit and veg.
Amazing. And I've always been, I always loved dancing and singing.
Like acting, I didn't really even know it was a job. Like I didn't know it existed.
And then we moved to Orlando, Florida from England kind of randomly. Really? Yeah, I don't— Not for you? Not for— No, just because my family, I would like to say, and even now, we're still very, like, we're nomads.
Like, we kind of just—we never take a plane. We always drive.
Right. Like, we're always just, like like that kind of family.
If we want to go somewhere,

we'll just get in the car and go.

We've always been like that, never kind of, we don't need a lot to plan.

Our dad was in search of a better orange.

And it took him

right to Orlando. Really nice connection.

Thank you. And then you thought,

That was a really great, I just, that took

so much longer for me in my head. I'm

so sad. I know.
Oh, I'm sad too, but for different reasons. So Orlando, you guys were like, hey, what's the most beautiful idyllic city in the world? No, no, no.
We went there a lot. Growing up, I went there a lot on vacation.
And then my dad was like, I just love it here. I love the weather.
I love the vibe. I love the people.
So we moved there for about maybe six, eight months. How old were you when you moved? I was eight.
Wow. And my little sister was probably like, oh my gosh, maybe like, I want to say like nine weeks old.
It was kind of a crazy decision, but we moved. And then I went to school in Orlando.
Again, not performing at this point. And then we heard this thing on the radio, me and my dad, and it was like, come to this workshop where you can dance, sing, and act.
My dad was like, that's cool.

You should go.

Because I was driving him insane on the weekends, basically.

Just keep me busy.

I didn't have any friends or anything. Singing and dancing.

Yeah.

And then he took me, and then I started going for a bit, and then I came back home, and

I was like, you need to take me.

I actually said, which I don't remember saying this, but my parents were like, you said it. I said, if you take me to Hollywood, I'll make it.
And my dad was like, what do you mean? And I was like, I want to go to Hollywood. And I remember having like, I wanted so badly to beA.
and to be an actor. And so the next week, we packed up the car and we drove from Orlando to L.A.
We didn't have a house. We didn't have anything planned.
We stayed in a motel on the side of the highway. What? And I just went to auditions and agents the whole time.
And were your siblings like, I don't want to go to Hollywood. I want to stay.
We hadn't. Well, you know what's crazy is, no, my brother didn't like school in America.
He had a hard time adjusting because he was like 16, so it was a little harder for him. I found it even difficult making friends there, just being able to have common ground,

especially when you're 60.

All these people know each other.

They all go to the same kindergarten,

the same, you know what I mean?

And they all know each other.

And this is a small town in Florida.

So for my brother, I know it was hard for him to adjust.

But what was the plan for mom and dad to do in Hollywood

and the other kids? You guys just loaded up the van and went across the country and we'll just figure it out when we get there? Yeah, pretty much. It was like, figure it out.
Great family. I mean, incredible.
It's amazing. Figure it out.
And like, everything was like, if we're together, we're okay. Like, we're always going to be okay.
No matter what. And so.
And then you crushed it. And did your parents, did your parents have jobs lined up along the way or? So, no, like my dad, my dad, my dad actually, he, because I was born in Spain, which is.
Marbella. Marbella.
And that, so I, my dad was a really successful real estate agent there. That's what he got into.
So, so he, he was always like, my dad again, like he's like kind of a jack of all trades, always been kind of knowing of everything. It's always been his very talented in that.
So when we moved there, literally it was like, now we have to figure this out. So I went on auditions.
You got an agent right away away that got you in the auditions? I actually, weirdly, maybe the first two weeks, I was going to agents and went to a bunch of different people. And I went to Mel's Drive-In for lunch.
And James Woods was there. And he was like and and I grew up watching.
Like, I didn't watch animation. Like, I watched Casino.
I watched Moulin Rouge. I watched, like, these were, like, I never, ever believed.
Like, I was never one of those kids. Right, right.
I loved Disney Channel. You knew who he was.
But I did know who he was. He wrote on like the thing like,

you know, I knew you before you were famous. And it was like the two weeks that I got to LA and I kind of, I got an agent and did the whole thing.
Then I, then I basically just auditioned after and I, and I was going up for jobs. Like, you know, I went for commercials, but I also went for the BFG, I went, you know, I did Steve Jobs.
Like, the Jobs movie. Like, I really went up for everything and got really close.
I mean, yeah, like, I kind of was. With no training.
No. No, I've never, never been trained.
Like, even when I was going in Orlando, it was never training. Like, it was always like, do you know what I mean? It was like, they taught me how to sing.
They taught me how to model, which was terrible. Like, I am not a model.
And then they taught me how to dance, and I loved it. But of course, it was like me, like, just shaking ass.
Like, I had no idea what I was doing. Right, right.
And then, but the acting thing, I really got, I could, you know, the monologue stuck in my head, and I would think about it for a while. And like, that stuck for me.
Right. We'll be right back.

And now back to the show. Well, what's so amazing to me is first of all, nerd alert, like the rest of the world, I'm such a huge Stranger Things fan.

And when I watched the first season, I mean, I was just blown away, not only by the show, but of course by you.

And I had that thought.

I was like, how does this little girl know how to be such a brilliant actor?

Without even speaking that much, right? Yeah mean, that first season, there wasn't... That's why I said no training, because it's like, how are you, A, so comfortable in front of the camera, B, how did you learn how to do that at such a young age when it takes years and years for other people to do it? Yeah, she's so young and so much better than you already.
Like, that must have been, for you, jarring. It was very jarring that I read for one of the kids as well on Stranger Things.
No, I'll be honest. Like, you know, when we started, like, I started auditioning and I got, like, jobs.
Like, I was, like, you know, did NCIS and Modern Family. And, like, I was kind of just doing these, like, bit roles these bit roles, but still had just so much fun.
But when we moved back to London, because we eventually couldn't afford to live in LA anymore, and we basically was just like, we can't do this anymore. So we moved back to London, and then I had an audition where I got told, like, basically, I wasn't going to make it.
And, like, in person, this person told me this. Wait, wait, wait.
Who was the person? You don't have to say their name, but what was their position? They were a casting director. How old were you at the time? Maybe, gosh, 10.
Imagine saying that to a 10-year-old. This monster said to you, you know you're not going to make it as an actor.
That I was too mature, so I couldn't, I wasn't going to make it because I was too mature. I didn't have that kid-like kind of like a wonderment or whatever.
And so I went home and I cried and I cried and I said, I'm not going to do it anymore. Like, I don't want to act anymore.
My parents were like, my parents, my dad, actually. My mom was very much always like, whatever you want, we love you.
Whatever you want, you know what I mean? But my dad, he always, your accent is actually not too bad. Thank you.
Yeah, thank you. But yeah, my dad saw something and he always saw that drive in me

and would never let me slip on that.

And so he was like, there's this audition in my inbox.

Let's do the last one and then we're done.

We don't have to do it anymore.

And that last audition was Stranger Things.

Wow.

And so you auditioned in England?

On that same day. I was so upset from what happened.
On the same day? It was the same day. And my dad just like, we set it up.
And I just went on a blank wall, read the script, and was like, what? Like, she doesn't have any lines. She just cries.
And she bleeds from her nose. Yeah.
But it didn't even say anything. It didn't say like she superpowers, her name was 11, nothing like that.
It was just like, girl, confused, doesn't seem like she's kind of human. And I was really vague, and I just did what felt natural, but also used so much of the emotion that had been happening earlier on in that day.
You were in a really raw place. Really raw.
And did you have long hair then, And then of course you shaved for the first season. Yeah.
I had long hair and then didn't hear from them for three months and kind of stopped auditioning. Like didn't audition three months.
And then I got an email saying, hey, the directors of that show that you auditioned for really like you. Can we Skype? Remember that, guys? I Skyped with them.
I Skyped with them. Yeah, I know.
I said that the other day, and people younger than me were like, I don't know what you're talking about. And I was like, whoo? It used to be like, yo, can I Skype you real quick? Do you remember that? Yeah.
Sorry, go ahead. So you did a callback via video, yeah? Yeah, and I did an American accent the whole time because I didn't want them to know I was British so they had no idea I was British I basically wanted them to know that I could hold an American accent for that long without them knowing so they could rely on me so then after the Skype they were like can you out to LA? So my dad and I flew out to LA.
And this is kind of the weird part. And I said this in my speech on the last day of filming, but we got on the plane, and at this point I knew that my character's name was 11, and I was on row 11.
And then we got to the hotel, I was on floor 11. everything just seemed really, really weird.
Like everything felt way too real and kind of positive and optimistic for the first time in kind of like years. And then, you know, I went in and I met with them and I remember it was really weird.
They didn't have any lines for me. They just were like, here's a box of clothes.
What would you do if you weren't like human? If you didn't know who you are, like you weren't like, you know, a normal regular girl, what would you do with this? And I just like kept like putting the clothes like on my head and then like just kind of feeling them and like put it and I think they were like, shit.

She's crazy.

We found her.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, sorry.

We found her, yeah.

That too.

They didn't realize that then, but I think they do now.

You probably had Sean Levy saying,

she's wrinkling those clothes.

What is she doing with that?

But what would you do if you took these clothes? The great Sean Levy.

You're so lucky you had him shepherding the whole thing. Don't interrupt my Sean Levy impression.
Greatest guy. It was very good.
It was very good. And then the next day I got a call in the hotel room as I was leaving back to Heathrow and then it was the directors and they said, do you want to be our 11 and can you shave your hair off? And I was like, yes and yes.
And then literally three months later I was shaving my hair off. That's crazy.
Wow. Amazing.
By the way, we've all had those moments. We've all had people say stuff to us in our career where they go, you're not right, you're never going to be right, or you're not going to ever, all that kind of stuff.
His name is Scotty. But to say, yeah, and Scotty says that a lot too.
And rightfully so. You've got very little talent.
But what is particularly repulsive is when an adult says that to a 10-year-old. And I know it's a professional environment.
But in that moment, to think that it's okay to say something like that to a 10-year-old, to me, is absolutely way out of bounds. I think.
You know what, though? I just feel like growing, like even growing, like that to me doesn't even really scrape this off. It's like growing up in the industry, I, you know, it can get like that.
People see you as an adult and because you... They forget that you're a kid because you're coming in.
Well, you're hired. You're hired.
So you're like, you're hired like an adult. You don't work the hours as an adult, but you're expected to be there like an adult.
You're expected to do the job. You're expected, yeah, same responsibilities.
Like pretty much everything is the same, you know, except you got to do school three hours a day, really. Like that's really it.
And so I was so lucky because like for me, and I guess that maturity really paid off because I was really able to understand the weight of what I was doing. So I was never like, yippity do da, like what am I doing next? Like I was always very like, okay, like I have my cool time is tomorrow.
I need to get eight hours. I was so strict with myself.
My parents were always like, they always kind of knew I was like that too. I loved school.
I would really prioritize school. I was just kind of annoyingly one of those kids that just loved work, loved school, just loved really like being on set.
Like I was so excited to be done with school so I could have more hours at work because I just loved it. I love that.
You know what I noticed, by the way, this is, hopefully you don't think this is something bad, but like I've noticed. Here we go.
You're in the States right now, United States? My accent. Yes.
I was just going to say, you go in and out. It's really cool, actually.
Well, because she spent a lot of time here and spent a lot of time there. That was such a huge thing for a minute.
My whole, I actually call it the accent gate because it's so frustrating because that was everywhere. For a second, everyone was talking about my accent, and they had a real problem about it and i was like guys like i'm married to an american when i'm around his family i immediately go into like an american accent but then i was just in england and then i'm the second i hear my mom and dad's accent i just go right back it's really cool and i'm like you want me to be an actor you want me to play these characters but you expect me not to morph into people.
What I hear is what I do. I do that, you know? And it's like, it want me to be an actor, you want me to play these characters, but you expect me not to morph into people.

What I hear is what I do.

I do that, you know?

And it's like, it's all part of it.

Yeah, wherever you are,

you're going to be influenced by your location.

Just like you are.

You're doing it right now, Will.

Yeah, of course.

With your English accent.

Sean's about to move on to Old Queen Road

and then he's going to morph into that.

So like everybody... There's a nice flat over there.

I'm really eyeing.

What are you doing, dude?

What are you doing?

Billy, so closing the loop on the childhood start thing,

what would you say to that 10-year-old starting out now?

Now that you know a lot since then,

what do you think you could say to that 10-year-old that would help her kind of cut some corners? You know, like, I'll be honest. Like, I really think that, like, I am so glad.
Like, everything happened to me. Like, even the shitty stuff that I know kind of was hard at the time that I was going through, like, I needed to go it.
Like, because I really am like a different person from it. Like, I know it sounds silly, but I started this when I was eight years old and I'm turning 21 next week.
And I... Oh, happy birthday.
Same. Thank you.
We're all 21. We're all turning 21.
Yeah, like what is the one... Like to Jason said, like what is the one like to Jason like what is the looking back now what is the one thing or several things that you wish you knew that you wish you knew like that that you go you know what happened to me when I was 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 I'm gonna make sure that never happens again or that I didn't need to worry about this as much or or conversely so you don't focus focus on a negative, I wish there was something that I did more of.
You know what I mean? Right, yeah, no, totally. I think for me, honestly, like the only thing I would say to her is like, your parents, like, you're good.
Like, don't worry. Like, they got you, like, no matter what.
Like, lean into that as as much as possible because when you're a kid, you want to do everything on your own and you're trying your best. But no, I am so reliant on my family.
That's nice. Honestly, they have kept my feet on the ground.
You can tell. And I just would probably say, I'd probably say to them, like, or say to her that, like, because I know she was maybe a little bit scared about growing up and making sure that, like.
Well, she's going to be scared that you're there in the first place because you're appearing out of nowhere. Right.
As your older self. That's true.
She would be terrified. Give her a little space, okay? But, no, I was like, I feel like.
She's got to absorb all that. I feel like what's cool, though, is that when I was younger, I was so afraid of becoming those infamous child stars that just go awry.
Jason B. Right, those, exactly, Jason.
That's a huge story that I know is viral. Yeah, cautionary tale, we call him.
Exactly. No, but you know, and it's a deep fear because it happens.
And by the way, you're constantly reminded of it. In an interview at like 12, 13 years old, people would be like, what do you think about this person and their journey? Do you feel like you can relate to that? And trying to trick me.
And I would go home and think, what if that happened to me? What if I lost touch of reality? And that's so scary. And it really was a deep fear.
And honestly, I just, again, would tell myself, you're not going to be like that. You have your family that guide you.
Yeah, just anchor yourself into your family, into the things that matter. Yeah, but everything else I think I'm so grateful I went through.
Because like, yeah, you know, and you would, I know that there are some things I wish I could maybe change and stuff. But honestly, like, I'm happy I went through it.
And like now I can just use that as reference. You know what? I'm just remembering we met when you were a kid.
We were at some thing. Do you remember this? You were like, you had just started doing Stranger Things.
You were like 12. You were with your mom, and we were at like some event.
Yeah, guess what, Will? She's got no idea what you're talking about. I know, she doesn't.
Hey, no, no, no. I will say this, and actually, it's so interesting, because Ariana Grande, I think, just talked about it.
But like, it's, I feel that I can't remember a lot of my childhood. Yeah, especially when Will Arnett's a part of it.
You know, she's trying— Yeah, I know. I'm just— No, just as you were talking, I was just thinking about— I don't know.
It was at some—like, some professional engagement. But I— Because out of the gate, Stranger Things was so massive right away.
Yeah. And I'm sure—I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I'm sure all of that, then you get like all this attention and everybody wanting to get interviews and people, meeting people.
It just like becomes a whirlwind and like a fog. Yeah, sometimes people will say things to me and I'm like, oh yeah, like I did meet that person.
Like I forget who I've met. Yeah, you can't remember it all.

I'm forgettable. I'm very forgettable.
I will give you that. No, no, no, no.
But, like, seriously, like, I know people forget things when they're, like, you know, older because they have kids. Or when they're a kid, they forget things.
But I— Yeah, Jason doesn't remember who we are. I'm the worst.
But I think you're right, Sean. And like, I definitely, you know definitely I went on a vacation right before Stranger Things came out and I had 25 followers and I don't even remember what my username was but I remember I didn't even really know what Instagram was and I just had it I think just to post videos of my dog and then the next night so we were driving were driving to, I think, Palm Springs or something, and then I woke up from the nap, and I woke up and I had a million followers.
Wow! My phone broke. And I looked at my dad, and he was driving.
I was like, what happened? And he's like, I think this show is going to be really, really big. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I remember I turned my phone, I was asking my mom,

can you turn this off?

I don't know how to even work this.

And we got to the Palm Springs Hotel,

to which the whole staff started freaking out

because I still had a shaved head and I still looked like 11.

And people were freaking out and I was like, oh my God.

So it was actually over the course of like a drive. 63 million followers.
You have 63 million followers? Wow. On what platform? Instagram.
Is that Instagram? Look at that. On Instagram, I think.
Good Lord. Wow.
You're looking good. Looks nothing like what I'm showing right now.
No, but wow, you look amazing. Thank you.
That's insane. So then growing up with all of these sort of interesting pressures, to put it kindly, as Stranger Things was exploding, was it helpful to have other kids on the show that you guys could sort of go through that together? And now that it's over, is there a, how do you, that's like, those are brothers of yours that you have to like say goodbye to? Like, is it strange? Is it hard? It is strange.
I think, you be honest the kids, because there's so many boys, it was so great because I know that they had such great camaraderie in their kind of brotherhood of growing up and being teen boys in this huge hit show. For me, my journey was a little bit different.
I feel like as a woman and as a young girl, I just went through it a bit differently in terms of like the things that I was wearing and the kinds of, you know, things I was kind of not interested in subject to experiencing, but just a bit more like people would ask me very different questions than they would ask them or, you know, they would, I would kind of. It just, that's the way it felt.
It was very much like they could just be them and I kind of had to put some, like put a show on a little bit more. Right, right, yeah.
Which was just a bit, it was just my different experience. But again, not like a bad experience, but just different.
And I was, I am so close with the boys. Like I love them and I have been really lucky, again, to have that experience with them.
And saying goodbye to them was really, really emotional for all of us. Yeah, I saw that last day on this set.
I almost started crying. It was incredible.
Your speech was great. Thank you.
It was a lot longer than what I put on Instagram. But I really wanted to, you know, I love the boys and I love the cost, but the crew, like I grew up with these people and most of them were like my parents.
Now, what about, let's get to David Harbour. I'm about to start a project with David Harbour.
Any hints, any tips, any things to get ready to enjoy, any things to watch out for. It's just you and I talking.

Here we go.

David, so David and I, he played my dad in the show.

And like, he and I had, I would say,

I would honestly say this, the most real relationship.

Yeah.

Like-

I hear he's fantastic.

He and I had like a really, really transparent relationship. Yeah.
Like. I hear he's fantastic.
He and I like had like a really, really transparent relationship where we're very, very honest, can be brutal with each other, but like really like good friends. Like, and he, I think what is so amazing about him, he like, everything's about your heart.
Like he sees your heart. He knows what you want.
He wants to find like the beauty in everything and the beauty in the scene. And he wants to find it.
And he always gave me that platform. Good luck with JB.
Yeah, I'm all heart. Good luck in finding any beauty in that heart.

All right, back to the show. You know, it's so amazing? I'm sorry, at the beginning you said Millie or Millie Bobby? Millie.
You can call me Mel, whatever. You got to call her Millie Bobby Brown.
I think you have to do the full. Miss Brown.
And then Bon Jovi. Miss Brown.
And then Bon Jovi. And then Bon Jovi.
What's really cool is that a lot of people with your success at such an early age would probably feel like, great, I did it. Now I don't have to, whatever, I can rest on my laurels and whatever.
But you just keep going with incredible work. And like Jason said at the beginning with this new line of products that you have, and it's really impressive that you still have a drive and a curiosity and a purpose.
Have you got a big movie coming out this year too? Don't you have a big movie coming out? Oh, yes. Let's talk about Electric...
State. State.
Oh, yeah. And Pratt's in that too, right? Yes.
Oh, yes. And then you have those upstart directors, the Russo brothers, I believe.
I know. You know, like, oh, how did you get through that? Oh, these guys.
I was terrible. These guys.
No, I honestly, like, you know, I walked onto that set, and it's like a well-oiled machine. Is it? Yeah.
It's like. And then that Pratt guy.
No, I mean, Pratt's a different story. Pratt is like, I don't even understand.
His thing, which I love, is he always says, and I love this, he'll go like, if you come to set in a bad mood, what are you, having a hard time living your dream? And I'm always like, I love that. He comes to set and he is truly so grateful and honored to be there and to fulfill that role.
And he taught me a lot. I love work, but you go through your days where you're like, for fuck's sake, I'm having a bad day.
But he saw and he brought sun every day. It was always positivity.
It was always funny. It was always like just so, and the Russos also are so great at that, like keeping such a great spirited like set.
I saw the movie. It's really good.
Thank you. Yeah, I love that.
Thank you. I love, yeah.
I mean, the movie, like immediately I was so excited to do it because I had never done anything like this and also my dream was to work with the Russo brothers. So like I.
What did Joe Russo call you?

You know, he calls everybody by their last name

or he'll go like, hey, hey, Brad, go sit down.

Hey, Annette, move to the.

Did he call you Brown?

He didn't.

He calls me Mills.

That's it.

Mills.

I feel like Mills.

Sometimes he doesn't even bother to get up out of his chair.

He'll just go yell.

I love when he does that.

So he'll be like, you know what?

Once he said to me, I come into his tent and I I'm like, hey, guys, did you? His tent. And I'll be like, hey, did you see that? And he's like, yeah.
And then he goes, we're getting cannolis. If you do this take, you get a cannoli.
And I was just like, fuck yeah. Because he's so Italian.
He's so Italian. And I just remember,

like,

he gets,

like,

his assistant,

their assistant comes in

with just,

like,

basically a box of cannolis

and everyone's just eating.

His name is Anthony.

No,

not Ant.

No,

not Ant.

Ant.

Ant.

Hey,

Ant.

By the way,

you go in there

and you'd be like,

hey,

Joe,

what do you think?

And he's like,

hang on a second,

I'm just doing my fantasy football. I'm like, what? Yeah, Joe's doing his fantasy lineup and Anthony's actually running shit.
No, no, on Electric State, he was addicted to TikTok. And we actually had to have a sit down talk about it.
Of course he was. Did you teach him any dances? No, I don't have TikTok.
I do not like TikTok. So I am not a fan of TikTok.
Interesting. Interesting.
Walk me through that a little bit. We've made some news right there.
I just, I have a hard time with social media. I don't like social media, which is actually bringing it back.
Says the girl with 63 million followers. It's not her fault they follow her.
I don't have Instagram. I don't have Instagram on my phone.
Someone else does it for me. And I'll take a picture and then I'll send it to someone and then they'll post it for me.
I love this. I think that's really healthy.

I think that, you know, I've been a proponent

of everybody taking a pause on social media.

I think it's really dangerous.

But, and I think it's really good for you.

But I'm not like, it's not like just TikTok.

Like TikTok, I think, is a platform where I see,

I used to see more negative than I did positive.

So I was like, okay, I'm out. I don't want to be a part of that.
So I felt the same thing with Instagram, so I deleted that. So now I have no social media on my phone, so I don't get notifications about what's happening in the world, who's dating who.
Yeah, that's great. And I just don't enjoy it.
So I am out of the loop. However, Joe has a problem.
He's not. and I had to bring it up to him.
He knew that his scrolling for hours was becoming a huge issue. And his algorithm was so weird.
Would he forget to yell cut? No, never that bad. But it was like we would be setting up a shot and he's just like in there in his amazing chair and just scrolling away, chuckling to himself.
And I was just like, dude. And Anthony's out there setting frames.
Yeah. Anthony's a lot more responsible than Joe.
Joe's just scrolling cannolis. Shopping for a wheelchair so he doesn't ever have to stand up.
All right. Let's get back into this interview.
Yeah, let's get back into it. Millie, you've got so much going on.
I want to talk about the children. You want to talk about your 10 children.
Yes. What are their names? So, okay.
So basically I have Bobby, Marley, Max, Winnie, Agnes, Rigby, Pookie, Juno. Did I say Dorothy yet? Nope.
Nope. Dorothy and I'm missing one, Jimmy.
Sweet, sweet Jimmy. So I have 10 dogs, but then I have- But you've got a couple of turtles and a donkey.
So I have, so I live on a farm, so I take care of- You better. I have four ponies, two cows, five goats.
Yeah, I mean, and they all. Are you in the UK? I'm in Georgia.
Oh, wow. Come on.
Wait, but did the dogs, did the 10 dogs stay in the house or out of the house? Yeah, so the 10 dogs are in the house. And then I have, so I have the farm animals, but the farm animals, I didn't, I only got farm animals really.
I only got a donkey because I had a coyote problem and coyotes are terrified of donkeys. Wow.
Is that right? So I got a donkey. Then I basically started rescuing farm animals.
So basically like there would be a farm, like, and here in Georgia, like there's like goats on the side of the street and you're like, what the hell? Like who can take these? And I would just basically take these animals, and then I bottle-fed them. So I would bottle-feed these farm animals that a goat came onto set of Electric State every day.
I had to bottle-feed my goat, Eminem, for every four hours. Like the candy or the wrapper? The wrapper, because he's the goat.
Okay. Hence the name.
Love it. Stupid Will.

Okay.

Sorry.

I want to get back.

Can we just get back for one second to the donkeys are some sort of a coyote kryptonite.

Now, is that true?

Because, you know, we've got massive coyote issues here in Los Angeles.

It is true.

Well, that's why people often ask Sean to come over because they recognize what a jackass he is. But what about horses? The coyotes, they don't care about the horses.
No. It's a donkey.
It is a donkey. A donkey, they actually are quite aggressive, which sounds kind of weird, but if a donkey saw a dog, the donkey would try and kill the dog.
It is is a very, very much like, if you Google it, like you will see that like donkeys like are very serious. I'm going to get on a YouTube wormhole here and watch donkey fights.
I think Arnold has a donkey. He does.
Pretty sure. He does.
He does, right? Yeah. Who does? So like.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah.
Schwarzenegger's got a donkey? Yeah, he has it in the house. Yeah.
Yeah. But Jake had to kind of drill the line at some point because we were bringing in these goats that sleep in our bed and they were in diapers.
What? You got a diapered goat in the bed? Yeah, they sleep with me at night. Why? Because I have to take care of them.
Girl, are you so crazy? They were basically babies. And so I would sleep with them and Jake, they would be in the middle and they are so cute.
And I basically, Jake would get up and do a shift and then I would get up and do a shift. Yeah, she would do that actually.
I had it, I had like Norman, Lammy, Eminem. I did the same thing with my cows.
Wait, but they would wear a diaper in the bed with you. You've got to lose yourself.
You own it the moment. You never get it back.
It's so stupid, dumb, and cheap. You're fired.
Millie, please continue. That was, I liked that a lot.
Wait, but you would have to change their diapers and all that stuff. Yeah.
Well, and then people started in my community, people started thinking I was pregnant because I was buying bottles and nappies and all the things. Yeah.
So then they reach around like eight weeks old and then they're full grown and they have horns and they're wanting to go outside. So then I had to put them outside.
And then we put them outside and then basically- It's not a good combo. Horny in a diaper? No.
Speaking of Scotty, do you think- All right. so then they're outside and then you move on to another baby animal in the bed.
Yes? Yeah, so to go on to... So then I have 20...
Okay, you're not actually going to... I have 25 dogs, but on top of the 10.
So the 25 live outside, but they have, I have a shed and I rescue dogs off of the street and from high euthanasia. Jake is on board with all of this nonsense? Yeah, I mean, I kind of like, this is like, he knows how much I like love animals.
Like I would like- Yeah, but you can't have all those animals. No, so we drew the line.
Actually, he said no more,

but I have to obviously have my dog Winnie in the bed.

Like that's like, we're not compromising on that.

Yeah, it's a deal breaker.

It is a deal breaker.

But he does allow farm animals and he enjoys it as much as I do.

Like we just had two babies,

two baby puppies, neonatal puppies,

come to us right before Christmas

and their mom got taken away. so they needed to be bottle fed.
They weren't taken to the bottle. So Jake and I, every four hours, would tube feed these babies.
Oh, wow. In an incubator.
I thought you were going to say that you had to bird feed them. Jason, how much? No, I actually wouldn't do that at all.
But I would do a lot for animals, but that is where I would do the wine. Jason, do you, I'm just thinking about Jason.
He can't walk on a hotel carpet unless he's got slippers on. Socks and slippers.
He's got to walk. Can you imagine being in that? Yeah, I mean, you're there for two weeks.
I would bring my slippers too. It's not crazy.
But Jason, the thought of these animals in their bedroom. No.
Yeah. There's too many exposed bacteria ports on an animal to rub on your pillow or where other parts of your body might.
It's just, it's not, it's a clean space. I just have like, no, I do not think that.
Like when I think of an animal I am just like like I get in my car and I'll go on Facebook because I have a fake Facebook of a different person. While you're driving? No.
Right before I drive I go in and I see in my community if there are any stray dogs that have been left been dumped and then I go and I pick them up and I put them in my car and then I take them to animal control and get them registered. Then I bring them back to my house and I microchip them myself and I vaccinate them myself.
No way. And then groom them.
I give them usually their first night will be in my house. I love that.
And then I build kennels outside and I have a full staff. And recently I just got my rescue so now I'm actually a rescue.
Wow, that's incredible. But now we've found over 250 dogs homes.
Oh, that is lovely. That is lovely.
That's incredible. It breaks my heart that there is 250 dogs to be found.
Yeah, actually in the rural parts of Georgia it's really, bad, and there's a lot of dog fighting rings, and I have a lot of that situation. I see that a lot.
But Jake is amazing. He loves seeing the animals come in and out.
He'll be like, Mil, this one comes in for 24 hours and then gets adopted the next day, or sometimes the longest some of them have been with us is around two years. So people are aware that they can go to your whatever to adopt.
Yeah, just the website. If you want to go on the website.
What's the website? It's joeyesfriends.com and you can view the available dogs we have. All of them.
J-O-E-Y? Yeah, J-O-E-Y, joeyesfriends.com.

And they're all vaccinated, microchipped, fixed, house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained. Wow.
So that's like, yeah. Wow, I love that.
But what about if you grow too attached to one of these animals? I never do. I think she's grown attached to 10 of them.
Yeah, well, all of my own. Like, I would never get rid of any of my own.
But the ones I bring in, I realize if I don't find you a home, I cannot find the next one a home. So it's like the faster I find you an amazing home, the quicker I can get in my car and go and pull from another animal control and basically lower the euthanasia list.
Can I go to the natural next question, which you're welcome to say I'm not answering that.

I'm sure the desire to maybe have a child yourself one day

burns bright, question mark?

Yeah.

Yes?

I mean, that is like, that has been-

You're still very young.

I'm still really young, but my mom actually had

a half-assed child at 21 and my dad was 19. And it's been my thing since before I met Jake.
Since I was a baby, I told my mom, baby dolls, I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me and my nan. My grandmother, she was a huge part of my life.
And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me. And of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family for me personally.
It's a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married.
So that was his thing. And my thing was, I really want a family.
I really want a big family. Like I'm one of four, he's one of four.
So it is definitely in our future. But for me, like I don't see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.
So I feel like anything's out. because for me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything.
And so that is what kind of we stand by, Jake and I, is like our energy in the house is like the door is always open and we want everyone to feel really comfortable. I'm headed there in two weeks to start this thing with David.
More than welcome. Normally their door is open, so.
Yeah, the door is unlocked. No, and so, yeah, so that's kind of where we're at.
We're very much like, we are always going to be, you know, wanting to start a family and just doesn't really, it doesn't matter in what way or when, but it will happen for sure. That's so great.
Well, Millie, one more time with the website. What's it called? Joeysfriends.com.
Joeysfriends.com. That's amazing.
Yeah, good for you. Well, you're an absolute delight, Millie.
Yeah, you are a delight. Thank you so much.
Again, please tell Dad hello. I will.
I'm going to call him right now. He's going to be very pleased to hear that you even remembered him, to be honest with you.
Oh, this man. Totally unforgettable.
Well, have a great rest of your day. Go bottle feed.
I will. Rescue more.
Thank you very, very much for doing this. Thank you guys so much.
For me, it was really, really cool to meet you. I've been a fan ever since.
Yeah. Thank you so much, guys.
It's been really nice to be able to talk to you guys. It's great to see you again even though you you don't remember.
No, it's okay. It'll come back to her soon.
Yeah. Thank you, guys.
I hope to see you in person. I'll be there in two weeks.
Great to talk to you. All right.
See you there. Three knots will be me.
See you there. Exactly.
Bye, guys. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Bye. Now, this is a good person.
You know, this is, you know, I mean. That was really cool for me.
I don't know if you guys are as big of a fan as I am. By the way, she's done tons of stuff, but, like, I'm a massive Stranger Things fan.
The last season's coming up. I'm super excited.
I, you know, I love it. Is there something, is there a spoiler that you were dying to ask her that she probably wouldn't have been able to answer about this final season? Well, no, you just want to know like how, how, how they did it.
Yeah, like why, why did it all, what was the thing in the, what's it called in the underworld? What planet? Yeah, yeah. In the, what was it called? The, the upside down.
Yeah, the upside down. Oh, did you watch it too? I've seen it, yeah.
It's a fantastic show. I love how cinematic it is.
All those kids are such great actors. Great actors, yeah.
She's amazing. Gaten Matarazzo, too.
He's great. He's one of the kids in the show.
They're all great, by the way. They're all great.
Gaten Matarazzo was in Les Mis on Broadway as a kid. Uh-huh.
Yeah, what else, Sean? Yeah, what did he do there? I don't know. Oh, he's happy with this one.
Go ahead. Take your time.
I don't have one. You actually don't have one.
I thought you did. I thought you were leaning and you were, no? Oh, no, I got one.
I got one. Oh, do you? It's going to be Bye Bye Birdie.
Watch this. No, no, no.
But Will nailed it. One of the greatest things about Stranger Things is the upside...
Up by down... You're an idiot.
That wasn't very good. That wasn't very good.
What about... Well, she's got dual citizenship, right?

Yeah.

Oh, God, this one?

And so she's...
