Move over Eleven, Millie Bobby Brown is all grown up and kicking butt in her new Netflix film “Damsel”! This ain’t your typical fairy tale, folks. Millie plays a princess who gets tricked by a charming prince (can you believe it?!) and ends up fighting for her life against a fire-breathing dragon
Millie Goes Method (Kind Of)
Apparently, Millie didn’t exactly hit the gym in preparation for this role. She told “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi that she wanted to feel just as unprepared as her character: “I don’t really like working out,” she admitted (same, Millie, same). “I wanted to see mistakes… It makes you fall in love and care about the character more.” Sounds like she embraced the whole “clumsy princess” vibe – and those falls must have been epic!
Feeling the Feels
So how does Millie get into character for those intense emotional scenes? It turns out she doesn’t have a fancy acting method. “I don’t really have a method,” she says. She just goes with her gut: “I think, for me, like, instinct, it’s just what I feel I would do in that moment.” Sounds like Millie’s natural emotional depth is what brings her characters to life.
