"More splashing, more splashing, keep splashing."
I was like, "Okay, I'm splashing."
I was like, literally felt like I was at a Shamu show.
I was like going in the splash zone.
Hi, I'm Millie Bobby Brown
and I'll be taking you through
a scene of my new film, Holmes.
Enola Holmes.
The whole scene, it really begins with her
walking into the East End.
She's following these purple ribbons.
Get off!
Linthorn was watching her the whole time.
He drags her in, starts dunking her under water.
Wants answers because his mission is to find Tewksbury.
And he knows that she knows where he is.
I'm gonna ask you this only once, where is the Marquess?
Now, who would that be?
We went our separate ways.
He was only touching my neck,
and I was making it look like he was forcing me underwater,
but in fact he wasn't at all, it was all me.
That's a shame, well, you've seen my face now.
"No, no, no, your face is totally unmemorable."
I didn't learn my lines until like, five minutes before,
because I wanted it to be really frantic and crazy.
So it was very instinctual and everything I was saying,
it was a lot of stuttering.
Because I was genuinely trying to remember my lines.
I could only hold my breath for a solid 15 seconds.
But because I was, because I was breathing out so much,
I was losing my breath quicker
And you know, they were just like,
"All right, dunk your head in and wink."
And I was like, "Uh, okay, sure."
And then I did that and they were like,
"Right, now, scream a bit more,
and then have your face go still,
and then smile and then wink."
And I was like, "Mhm, got it, okay."
When I was in America, I got a call and they were like,
"There's this person called Jo,
he's gonna be your stunt coordinator.”
And I was like, "Okay, cool, that's cool."
So I was like, "It's a guy, that's kind of like..."
He's just not gonna get the cool, girly things that we could
put into the fights to make them super feminine and cool.
I'm not sure I ever described how
a typical day's education worked with my mother.
Hmm.
We'd start with history, she always said that-
Historical perspective
- is the only way to begin a day. - "Historical perspective..."
Then we'd lunch and I'd work on my physics.
And after lunch, I'd focus on fitness.
Gotcha!
Followed by fight combat.
And then I met Jo, and she's this amazing woman.
She took control of the choreography.
She was like, "No, we're gonna pin your hair up
before you go into the fight and we're gonna use your skirt,
and we're gonna use your heels,
and we're gonna use your corset to an advantage."
And we really brought some cool feminine qualities
into the fight, which I really appreciated.
The corkscrew was mostly me because I actually did
learn how to do the move, which was really exciting.
I loved this whole fight sequence
because I worked really hard on it.
I mean, it was like a dance routine.
So actually, doing this felt very rewarding,
at the end of the day.
I did pretty much everything,
except for the hard hits, the flips.
When I was working with Helena, she was really going for it,
and I was really going for it.
But it was a more of a loving fight, you know.
It was more like a play, mother and daughter fight.
And this other fight that we kept cutting back to,
with her and Linthorn was just so intense.
And it has you at the edge of your seat.
Surprisingly, this is my favorite scene in the whole film.
And I'm gonna put that out there.
Big, big, talk, but it is, it was Harry Bradbeer's idea.
He said, "Look at screen and just go..."
I was like, "Yes, I'm doing that right now."
He called action, I did it.
And every time I watch that scene,
I get goosebumps, I love it so much.
Okay, okay, she's like, "Meet me outside, how 'bout dat?"
