(audience cheering)
- How are you? - I'm good. How are you?
- I am so frigging excited!
I was gonna keep it chill,
but I'm too tired to keep it chill.
- No. - I'm such a fan.
- No, if I had this job, I would-
- You're so cool.
- I would never keep it chill.
The people I get to meet.
That is so fun. - Okay. I know.
Usually I try and keep it chill.
But you are very cool. - You don't have to.
- Yeah. - And you're only 20.
- Yes. - Yes.
That's so young.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- To me it's not.
- I know. I know.
- But to everyone else, I get it.
- Yeah. - But like, you know,
to me I'm like, oh gosh.
I mean, I started-
- It's just a vast amount of success thus far.
- Yeah. It definitely feels, it feels like I've been,
it feels like career wise, I feel like I'm 30.
But like I know that-
- 30. I love that accent. - Yeah, yeah. (laughs)
- Okay. Okay. - I love yours.
- Oh, it's kinda trashy, (Millie laughs)
but it's endearing at times.
- I like it, it's very endearing.
(both laugh)
- But yeah, I feel like very excited to be 20.
It's like a new era as the Taylor Swift would say.
- Yeah. Very nicely done. - Thank you.
- Did you go to the tour?
- I am like hardcore, like I know exactly
where she is at all times kind of thing.
(audience laughs)
- Okay. Some might call that a stalker, but yes.
- No, I was, like, it's - Who needs to say words.
- like loosely based.
But no, I love Taylor.
I went to "The Eras Tour,"
and just it was, yeah,
it was the most amazing experience.
Like the fans, they're just so, they're the same as me.
We love her that much.
And you know how she does like a surprise song at each show?
- Yeah.
- So like I have, we have like a board, me and my sister,
and we like cross out the songs that she's done
so we know which songs are left to which she,
do you do that too?
Okay. - Oh my gosh.
- Okay. I'm like and so that we know
what she's gonna do next.
So when I went to my show, I went to Ohio.
I flew there solely for Taylor.
And she played "Evermore,"
and I collapsed to the ground.
It was pretty crazy.
But it was, yeah, an amazing experience.
- Well, you're a singer as well.
You love music.
- I do love music.
I definitely love music.
I've always loved music.
I love singing from like a really young age.
I've taken it very seriously. (laughs)
- It feels good.
- [Millie] Yeah, it does.
- It's so therapeutic as well.
- It's very different from acting.
But I do really enjoy, I was actually listening to
just a Disney playlist on the way here.
'Cause it's snowing outside. - 'Cause why not?
- [Kelly] Why not?
- And I was listening to Frozen,
and I was like, this is- - Fine.
- Yeah, I was Elsa for-
- I will still watch those movies
when my children leave the room.
And I'm a grown ass woman.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
And I will sit there and be like,
"Oh my God, the sisters at the end."
- I know. - Like, I'm like,
this is me and my sister. - I know. I know.
This is how I feel.
I definitely am too old to like,
still be in my Disney era. - I don't care, I'm 41.
And I still love it. - Yeah. Love it.
- I love go ride the ride at Disney World
with or without my children. - Same.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Although it would be rude if I left them out.
(Millie laughs)
But congrats on the engagement, by the way.
- Thank you. - That's so exciting.
- Thank you so much. (audience cheering)
That's so exciting.
It's like a whole new life. - Yes.
- With another human.
So like how is adjusting with families
and like, it was always kind of difficult
when it came to like holidays.
Is that easy for you or?
- Oh, actually, it's been really fun.
Like, I've loved kind of meshing our families.
My family is very loud.
We're English.
We've got a lot of banter, a lot of jokes.
And I was really nervous as Jake coming in,
because I was like, you have to be able
to pick up on the jokes and be witty,
and, you know, things will go-
- Don't be a loser. - Yeah.
I was just, well, yeah.
And usually it's the other way around,
and I'm trying to tell my parents,
but I'm like, you have to fit in with them.
Like you have to play it cool with them.
Because they're so cool.
And so- - What a great family.
- Yeah. My family are very fun.
And so they actually met on an RV trip,
and then I met his family.
And I actually just spent my first Thanksgiving with them.
And I've never spent Thanksgiving in America,
like a traditional Thanksgiving.
I've never done that.
So it was really exciting.
I was like-
- Did you overeat?
- I did. - Yeah.
- And then I ate Turkey for like three days.
- Yes, but that's kind of the thing.
You can make sandwiches.
You can make a salad. - Oh yeah, we had
a Turkey surprise.
- Sure. - All of the things
from dinner in a sandwich. - Sure.
- I was like, "Okay."
- Leftovers. - Yeah.
And I was like, okay, I have to get used to this.
My parents are calling me up like,
"We just had spaghetti bolognese."
Because we're English, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
And I'm like, you guys,
I ate just like the most Turkey ever.
Like, I don't, yeah.
So it's very fun.
- And gravy. Gravy's my favorite.
- Yes. Yes.
- We have something in common.
So you live on a farm?
I live on a ranch, but I love morning coffee.
Go out. - Yes.
- I love watching all the animals.
This is- - What do you have?
- Well, I have a lot of natural wildlife right now,
so I'm still fencing, so I can't put anything quite yet.
But we have like elk, bear, wolves, mountain lions,
like that kind of stuff.
- Oh my goodness, I-
- But you have like a legit farm, like goats,
- Yes, yes. - and like, I want that.
That's what I wanna do, but yeah.
- I have a pony, I have two donkeys, two cows, three goats
and- - Mini ponies are testy.
I've had a rescue ranch. - My mini pony,
he's also a rescue.
His name is Blaze.
He has, I mean, first he hates me, I think.
- No, they're, they're not always-
- No. - super kind.
- No, no, like my donkey, Bernard, is like my best friend,
like, and we- - Bernard. (laughs)
- Talk so much like stuff about the Pony,
we're like, - Love the name.
- "We cannot with him."
Like he is the biggest diva.
And it was freezing cold in Georgia, so I was like,
I gotta put him in the shed where there's a heater.
But he just wouldn't listen.
He's like, he like tilts his head at me
and like his eyes bolt.
And I'm like, "Dude, like, we're not doing this."
- We're trying to help you. - I'm trying to help you.
And get you warm,
and then like, I have to go get Jake,
and Jake's from New York.
Watching Jake trying herd a pony,
(Kelly laughs) I was almost peeing myself.
It was so funny.
- It's almost worth it to give a donkey stay out.
- And I'm like, please go right now.
Like, yeah.
And he's just like, "Come on, pony."
And I'm like, "Jake, just go back inside."
- Come on, pony. (laughs) - Yeah.
But, it's really fun.
And I actually, like last year I got a lamb.
And I try to bottle feed - How cute.
- most of my farm animals so that they really become
accustomed to like, you know, our touch and our love.
And so, I, he slept in the middle of us for like six weeks.
- An actual lamb!
- He was my baby lamb.
And I woke up every three hours
and fed him with a bottle.
- You had a baby?
- I did. - Yeah.
- For six weeks,
and then I said, "It's time to go outside."
But actually I was getting diapers for him
because you can't teach them.
And I try to teach all my animals,
but he was not persevering.
So I had to go to my grocery store and get diapers,
and everyone thought I was pregnant.
- Oh that you were really pregnant.
- I was like, no, it's for my lamb.
And the next week he grew so big I had to the-
- No one believed you. (laughs)
- No one believed me.
- It's for my lamb!
- I know, it does. - Okay.
- Yeah, exactly.
I was like, and then the next week he got so big
I had to go get adult diapers,
and people were really confused then.
Now they're like, "Yeah, okay,
so you're having a situation."
- I know. It's like, yeah, yeah.
My lamb is huge now.
And he's now like, you know, he is the sweetest,
his name is Norman, but really changed-
- Bernard, Norman. - Norman.
- And Blaze.
I like your animals. - Oh yeah.
No, these are, yeah.
- They're so therapeutic.
They make me feel, I love having animals around.
- Oh, I know. I know.
They're like my favorite.
And I like go out to them every morning
and they all know me and they, I feel like-
- Oh, I feel so good. - like, so grounded when
I'm around them, they don't know who I am,
and they don't need anything from me.
They're just like, "Hey, you got the hay."
And I just bring in the hay.
It's the best, it's the best of both worlds.
- Yeah, it's peaceful.
I love that you have that.
'Cause it's totally different from this industry.
- Totally different pace.
(audience cheering)
- I can't wait to look at her new Netflix movie,
"Damsel."
I love the movie. - Thank you.
- This is like straight up my household, like our vibe.
- Oh good. - Because it's like,
I loved it. My kids watched it with me.
Anyway, so like what, explain the movie for everyone.
- Oh gosh.
Well, it starts with a princess,
or a young woman who is in a, you know,
her normal kingdom with her family, her dad,
her younger sister, and her stepmother.
And a woman comes to the kingdom,
and says, "In the kingdom of Aurea, we need a princess
and we'd like to take your daughter."
So my dad sells me down the river bend.
- Yeah.
- And I become a princess, the kingdom of Aurea.
But not, you know, not everything is as it seems and-
- [Kelly] At all.
- At all.
And instead, I'm a sacrifice.
- Yeah.
- So it's very, yeah.
It's, I definitely was so excited signing onto it,
because I thought I've always wanted to be a princess,
but to turn into a warrior at the end is
like the best of both worlds.
- Well, that's what I love that it's called "Damsel,"
but you're not like a damsel in distress.
- No. - Yeah, it's the
opposite of that.
- Exactly. It is.
And she might be in distress a few times.
It's... (laughs)
- But I feel like
saves herself. - But definitely, oh yeah.
She definitely saves herself,
and proves that she doesn't need a prince.
- [Kelly] Yeah. I love that.
I love that too, just watching with my kids as well.
- Yeah.
- I love this about you too.
So you're so young, but you're doing such amazing things.
You're behind the scenes as well.
Executive producing this.
- Yes. - That's just super,
super cool. - Thank you.
- Are you into that world too?
Like behind the scenes?
- Yeah. I love that.
I think for me, you know, I grew up on "Stranger Things"
where I watched like two amazing creators,
the Duffer Brothers who show runs "Stranger Things."
And I watched them like they were young,
starting off "Stranger Things."
And I just feel like I loved the way they created,
and I was like, "I really wanna be
a part of that world too."
And they actually were really open to letting
me be a part of the creation of Eleven.
So when I started like dipping my toes in that,
I was like, "Oh, I really would love
to do that more in my career."
And so with "Enola" I was able to do that.
And with this I was able to do that.
And I feel like it just, I'm able to bring more
of a feminine essence to the production, the plot,
and all the things.
- Yeah, I love "Enola." - Thank you.
I love the second one too.
I was telling her that in the break.
I was like, "God, me and my daughter
love watching that so much."
- Oh, that's very fun.
It's very different to this,
but it's very fun. - It is very different.
Yes, but both are awesome.
Like for an entire family.
That's what I love, I'm such a mom saying that.
But it is awesome when you can watch something and your
kids can in the room. - Yes.
- But I heard that music is very comforting to you.
So what are you listening to right now?
What's on your playlist? (Millie exhales)
And do you do playlists for like roles?
- Oh yes, I do.
- 'Cause I know a lot of actors do that.
I didn't know that. - Yes.
- But they'll like make playlists for like
the film they're working on.
- I was actually telling my fiance earlier, I was like,
"I, on every job I have a playlist."
So I have like for "Enola 1,"
it was "Lover," Taylor Swift.
- Nice. - Of course.
- And then for season three of "Stranger Things,"
it was "Positions," Ariana Grande.
- Nice. - So I'm like very,
but right now, I'm really in the Disney World,
and like "Dear Evan Hansen."
Again, like I'm in dear, well, yeah,
and Jake and I, you know, Jake and I love "Hamilton,"
so we have to do that every morning on the way to work.
- Yeah. - But yeah,
I'm very much in my like theater stage right now.
So that's probably what I'm listening to the most.
- Do you think you would ever do like a Broadway,
like that kind of vibe? - I would love to.
Although I was saying- - It takes time.
- It does, it takes time.
And I wouldn't be able to bring my farm animals.
(all laugh)
- Girl, we are in the same, I'm like,
"Can you bring Montana there?"
That's me.
- I'm like, how can I bring my donkey there?
- Yeah. - But yeah-
- Bernard would be great on Broadway.
(Millie laughs)
So wait, you've done beauty,
so now you're in the world of fashion, right?
- Yes. - This is exciting,
especially around 20.
I think it's so, it's such a creative space to live into.
I used to go thrifting all the time.
Well mainly 'cause I had to when I was poor,
but then I continued into my twenties 'cause I loved it.
- Yes. - Are you, you're really
into fashion, right?
- Oh my gosh. Yeah. I love fashion.
I've always loved fashion, but especially turning 20,
it's like, it's such an exciting time to
kind of... - Create.
- Yeah, and be transparent, like with my consumer,
and with my audience because you know, of course,
I get to wear fancy things like this all the time.
But like in reality, I wanna be, I do wear pajamas to work,
and I do, I like to be cozy and like that's just,
and so to be able to create like an affordable, accessible,
and inclusive brand to my generation, it feels like,
it feels like a gift to them.
- And it also feels like gift to me.
- Girl, I love being cozy.
Nothing beats that.
- [Millie] No, no, no, definitely not.
- I like looking nice on a carpet,
but just for the hours I have to. (laughs)
- Oh, but I'm thinking about getting cozy on the carpet.
- Yeah, I'm like, "Which black stretchy pants
will I put on?" (laughs) - Yes.
- Like yeah, absolutely.
Well, you're working on the final
season of "Stranger Things,"
which I know has gotta be kind of a,
it's an exciting thing probably,
because it's nice to move on from something,
but at the same time it's such a family
probably for you at this point.
- Yeah, definitely. - And a character.
- Yeah. It definitely is.
It's sad to say goodbye.
You know, we're in production right now
and it feels weird because every day
feels like the last day, you know,
because you're like, this is gonna be the
last 37th day we're ever gonna have.
You know?
And everything feels like (Kelly laughs)
we have to make the most of every moment.
And yeah, I definitely, every time they say action,
I think, "Gosh, like I have to be Eleven one last time."
And that makes me sad.
But it also makes me really excited.
- Yeah. 'cause it opens up timing
too for other things. - Yes, absolutely, yeah.
- Well, incredible career thus far.
And you're only 20.
It's insane.
We need a quick break.
"Damsel" is on Netflix this Friday, y'all.
