What else did Millie Bobby Brown say in her interview? 

In the interview with Sun, the actress further said that although she struggles to sit through a film, even her own for that matter—when she does watch a movie, she likes to multitask. She also admits to watching the massive mega-movie Barbie in 2023 and loves Margot Robbie in it. 

"I just have to be doing something. So I either eat too much, because I’m just bored. Or I have to be doing something, baking, grooming a dog, or on my computer. If I’m not doing something, I just can’t sit there and look at the screen for that long. It’s not to say the movie isn’t epic, cinematic, and brilliant, or that there aren’t amazing performances. I love some of these actors," she said.

Brown also said that even though she does not have the time to watch films or consume content online because of her busy shoot schedules, her fiancée, Jake Bongiovi, is a big movie buff and loves watching movies. 

"My fiancé is the biggest movie buff. He just sits and watches movies all day. And I cannot do that. That is the one thing I can’t sit down and do. But I really love Lara Croft in Tomb Raider; I love Mad Max. So I feel like I’m always channeling that inner bada*s." the actress said.
