It’s a common assumption that Hollywood actors are avid movie enthusiasts, but Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in Netflix’s latest release “Damsel,” has defied this stereotype, much to the bewilderment of her fans.
In a recent interview with The Sun, the 20-year-old British actress disclosed that she isn’t particularly fond of watching movies herself. Despite recommendations from others, she finds the idea of sitting through a movie daunting, even her own. While her fiancé, Jake Bongiovi, is an ardent movie buff, Millie confessed that she struggles to engage in prolonged screen time, preferring to stay active by baking, grooming pets, or working on her computer.
Millie Bobby Brown’s Movie Problem
Millie attributed her aversion to movies to her inability to remain sedentary for extended periods. She clarified that her disinterest in movie-watching shouldn’t be misconstrued as a lack of appreciation for the art form or the performances within them. However, her revelation has left many fans puzzled, with some expressing disbelief over an actress shying away from movies altogether.
Despite her personal reluctance towards movie-watching, Millie’s recent film “Damsel” has been met with overwhelming success on Netflix, quickly becoming the platform’s most-watched film of the year. In the movie, she portrays Elodie, a princess who defies traditional damsels in distress tropes by taking charge of her own destiny. Millie’s portrayal of a self-reliant heroine has resonated with audiences, offering a refreshing twist to conventional fairy tale narratives.
As fans continue to grapple with Millie’s unconventional stance on movies, her stellar performance in “Damsel” serves as a testament to her versatility as an actress, irrespective of her personal viewing preferences.
