I'm just trying to gather myself, Sean. >> Yeah, no, I get it. I get it.
I'm just trying to gather myself, Sean. >> Yeah, no, I get it. I get it.
>> SEAN, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE.
>> [laughter] >> HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON EVERYBODY?
For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones.
It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings.
And today we welcome Millie Bobby Brown back to the hot seat.
She's an actress, producer, and the founder of Florence by Mills who first braved this table back in 2022 and has since closed the book on a decade as 11 with the final season of Stranger Things.
And now she's back as Victorian London's sharpest sleuth in Enola Holmes 3, which lands on Netflix July 1st.
[music] Millie Bobby Brown, welcome back to the show. >> Thank you. Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited to be back here.
I know I'm like a bit dreading the wings, but I love you, Sean.
>> Oh, that's what I was going to ask.
You know, it's great to see you again, but feel free to be honest, did you have any reservations about returning? >> No, not at all.
Like I love this and I can [music] get through anything.
>> [music] >> Imagine I start at 10.
My god, has that ever happened?
>> Tom Holland actually grabbed number 10 right out of the gate. >> Insane.
>> [music] >> It's the Brits in us. >> [laughter] >> Lovely.
Feels like it's not meant to be on a wing, [music] though.
But it's actually punchier cuz like the first one on the last the last time was not this. >> Yeah.
>> And it was not spicy at all, but that's got a punch to >> Little kick. >> Yeah.
>> So, one of Enola's signature weapons is disguise.
How do you approach a scene when the character you're playing is acting herself and then sometimes acting poorly? >> I love it.
I love it because I feel [music] like I'm also doing that, you know, just like as an actor.
My whole job is to be a chameleon and to adapt. So, I really like it.
I try to do something vastly different.
I always have to change an accent, [music] do something random.
I mean, one time I I was doing this film and my co-star and I were doing a scene and I just started doing a French accent.
He was so jarred by my French accent that he just burst out laughing.
And uh so, yeah, I do like to do stuff like that a lot.
And I think sometimes it it works and sometimes [clears throat] they're like, "Millie, what are you doing?"
>> [music] >> This has got an interesting taste to it. It's good.
I'm trying to pace myself, [music] but it's really quite good. >> Smart.
That's someone who's practiced.
You must've been through it. >> meat that you get. >> Mhm.
>> But these are also very good wings.
>> That you know, we take it all seriously.
You know, we're trying to we're trying to stand for you.
>> I take cooking very seriously.
And this feels [laughter] This feels air fried to me.
But I'm going to take a sip of my milkshake, not because the plant-based got to me. >> Mhm.
>> But because I'm just in the mood. >> Yeah, me too. I'm going to join you. Cheers.
>> So, after Godzilla, Eleven's telekinesis, and now three Enola films, do you consider yourself an action star?
Is that a characterization that would feel strange to you?
>> No, I mean, I wouldn't consider myself an action star.
I'm very drawn to action.
But like similar to like I'm not in any way comparing myself to Tom Cruise because he is amazing, but he is such a fantastic actor, [music] but he's so brilliant in action.
And I think like yeah, I when I read a script, I'm definitely like, "Ooh, that sounds fun. I'll do that."
Um but I also do love the very long lengthy monologue [music] scenes.
So, a few of my next films are less action.
That's more you know, it's exciting to get out of that world not beyond wires.
You know, I've been I feel like I've been on wires for like 10 years. This is sriracha.
I'm wiping my nose not because >> [music] >> The plant-based got to you. Let the record show. >> All right. Here we go.
Oh, this is one of your own. >> It is.
>> It's a homegrown sauce.
>> Yeah, but if you don't like it, let us know.
I know you will actually. >> Okay. Oh. Okay. This is a very good one.
>> You're not just saying that? >> No. I like [music] sriracha.
This is meant to be on a wing.
>> [laughter] >> Two out of three at least.
So, you live on a farm in Georgia surrounded by a menagerie of rescue animals.
Everything from dogs to cats, goats, [music] cows, donkeys, and more.
Have you observed any unlikely friendships?
Like maybe a couple across species that shouldn't work together, but somehow are best buds. >> So many.
Um, you know, I [music] raised I raised my farm animals and I had a baby lamb who lived in my house >> [music] >> and he, you know, I'd throw the tennis ball with the dogs and he would run after the tennis ball.
He couldn't pick it up because he doesn't know how.
[music] He'd just kind of stare and then baa and I'd be like, I understand.
And then he would run to the microwave cuz he knew that's where I would warm his bottles up. He was a genius.
His name is Norman and now he's 500 lbs and he still thinks I'm his mom and he he baas at my front door thinking, "Let me back into my home.
This is where I was raised."
And I'm like, "Brother, get away from me." >> You're 500 lbs. >> Yeah.
>> Um, [music] and so now he lives on the farm and he lives a great life, but um, but yeah, I think there's many friendships where I'm like, "Okay, they're friends.
Just leave them be and let them get on with it. Black-Eyed Susan.
[music] Who comes up with these names? Oh my gosh, I love this. >> I love.
Yeah, that was a good eyebrow pop.
>> Yeah, I like that kind of like taste, but it's got a punch.
But gosh, what is that for? >> [laughter] >> Yikes.
>> I want to take advantage of the fact that you have a beauty and lifestyle brand.
Is there a skin care product that you'd recommend for let's say a talk show host who just turned 40, but wants to look like Rob Lowe at 60? >> Oh, okay.
And this is just asking for a friend?
>> Yeah, just asking for a friend.
>> [snorts] >> I would say SPF is the most important thing. Do you wear SPF?
>> They make me, you know.
I'm surrounded by people that look after me more than I do myself.
>> Um I'm a big like for guys, I think eye cream.
Like you every guy like everyone should enjoy a good eye cream, like eye cream is great for guys.
I have like I've worked with many actors, many male actors >> [music] >> that are like, "I've got to put my eye cream on."
And I'm like, "Okay, queen."
Like [laughter] they take it very seriously.
So, I think eye cream must have a have a thing for guys.
>> [music] >> Hit listen scorpion. Yeah, I'm feeling that.
It's It's again, it's not the worst thing I've ever had.
Like as in this is something that I feel I feel like I would have had this at a restaurant.
It is spicy though, I'm not going to lie.
>> Yeah, and kind of with like some late action, too.
Like sweetness up front and then >> Mhm. Mhm. >> behind it. Some violence. >> Sure, violence.
>> Your food takes are some of the best out there.
So, if you'll humor me, I'm hoping that you can put me on game for some British classics. >> Mhm. >> What is spag bol?
And then why is HP sauce the right condiment for that dish. >> Mhm.
Spag bol is spaghetti bolognese.
And you just put brown sauce on it because I don't know why you put brown sauce on everything when you're English.
Um I mean, I know people put a lot of stuff on spag bol.
Spag bol is pretty much the only thing my mom can cook.
>> [music] >> Like, it'll be like Tuesday and my mom is like, "I'm making a spag bol."
And then I'm like, "Okay."
[music] And it's like Friday and my mom is like, "I'm making another spag bol."
And I'm like, "Mom, we've had it like three times this week.
[music] Like, we can't have any more spag bols."
And we And And it's just all we eat and it's And she's like, [music] "Ah, Mel, I made the baby a spag bol." I'm like, "Okay, great."
>> [laughter] >> So, it's part of I guess it's just a part of my my mom's only recipe.
I mean, that's for 50 years, I'm just going to have a recipe book of just very varieties of spag bols.
>> Um However, it's one of my favorites.
And when I'm in England, I would I don't really order it when I'm at a restaurant.
It's really just got to be my mom's.
>> What are the foundational qualities of a great jacket potato in your opinion? >> A fluffy potato.
Inside, my favorite would be beans and cheese. Also HP sauce on that.
That would be my favorite.
And I love And also when I was on Stranger Things, I used to get food shamed a lot by when I would go on.
Like, they'd be all American and they'd be like me, "What the are you eating?"
Because they were like, "It's like you live in the 1800s and you found some like specialty I would like It's wrapped in tin foil."
And I'd be like, but then I would like hide in a corner because they'd be like, "What is that?"
And I was just like, "It's a jacket potato with beans and cheese." It's nothing.
Um So, they didn't get it.
But when I go on set in England, everybody is like, "Having a jacket >> Jacket potato. Having a jacket. I like that.
>> Oh, we're getting close.
>> [snorts] >> Oh, how many times like who is the person that's been on this show the most?
>> You know, we don't have that many You're like, you're in You're in club now, you know, as a returned guest, actually.
Like, that's a pretty exclusive club. >> Thank you.
>> Post Malone, Gordon Ramsay. >> Gordon Ramsay?
>> Yeah, actually, the UK highly represented return club. >> We're strong. We're strong. [laughter] Um, okay.
>> [music] >> And and this one is the tropical Amarillo. >> Mhm.
So, you've played scared on camera more than most actors do in their entire career.
Is terror something that you can fake convincingly, or do you always need to find >> terrified.
>> Or do you need to find like a real door to it every time? >> Good question.
For some reason, maybe terror just comes a little bit too natural for me.
>> [laughter] >> However, I do like to really put myself in the situation.
Always takes me about 10, 15 [music] seconds to get into it before they say action.
I don't really do a lot of prep [music] for that very reason.
Like, I'm not somebody who needs to put everyone else through the the worst day of their life, you know?
To be like, "Oh, I'm in the space."
So, you know, it's like, I don't want to put everyone else through that.
You have to really just learn how to go in and out of it and figure it out.
But, being a child actor helps because I just grew up doing it so naturally, so it's very second nature.
What isn't second nature is laughing and smiling [music] on When they're like, "Milly, like, fake laugh in this scene."
I'm like, >> [laughter] >> You know, and then I'm just like, I can't watch playback. I'm terrible.
And I'm like, "Why do I Why do I look like that?"
I can't make myself laugh.
>> And then, just to avoid the terror today, just be very careful around the eye. You know, I'm watching.
And you had it was just natural. It was instinctive.
>> Thank you so much for looking out for me. >> I always. >> Okay. >> Always.
>> Cuz especially because we're getting closer.
I did a movie about dragons once. >> I know you did.
>> I slayed that >> [laughter] >> And you're going to do it again.
Now, this to me is almost kind of candied at first.
Almost like a spicy candied at first and then Yeah.
>> It's in the back of the throat. >> I know.
The time in the show where the walls start to close in.
>> Has it got a candy candy feel?
>> [laughter] [snorts] >> That's a lovely one. >> Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> Something to write home about. >> It it it lives here. It lives here.
The the problem with the bomb >> Mhm.
>> Let me just tell you >> Yeah, yeah. Put me in game.
>> First of all, we need to sign little waivers before we walk into this Okay?
Because >> Pulling back the curtain. Mhm. >> hurts everywhere. >> Mhm.
>> And afterwards, after 4 hours after the interview, I couldn't breathe still.
I mean, truly, it hurts everywhere.
Whereas that one's just like the last one's just like in the throat.
It's like >> [clears throat] >> Yeah.
>> Wouldn't put that one. You know.
>> sort of change into a full meltdown. >> life-changing.
>> [laughter] >> Never the same after that. >> Never.
It looks a bit smothered [music] this time. All right. You ready? >> I'm ready.
>> Do you get nervous ever about this one? >> You know what?
If if I can knock down the fourth wall just for the guest.
Like I know what's going to happen, you know, and I'm traveled and I've been doing this for a long time.
But it's more like the empathy I feel for the guest that kind of doesn't know what's coming.
You do in this particular case, but that's where the nervousness comes. >> Really, I bet. Yeah.
You know, I watched Winona's. >> Yeah.
>> And how was she with the bomb? >> You know what?
That is like one of the most memorable shoots.
Because like as you know, just to meet her and like just spend 5 seconds, you just want to like protect her. >> Yeah.
Well, that's all That's been my last 10 years. >> [laughter] >> No. I'm like, "It's raining.
We're not ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE!"
>> [laughter] >> EXACTLY.
>> WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE BUT I don't know.
Protect her at all costs.
And you just put her in the firing line. >> I know. I know.
And it's a it's a guilt that I've carried with me for a long time.
But, it was her reaction in the face of that where I was like, "There's no way she's going to get through." Exactly.
>> [laughter] >> So expressive.
But then, and even after like the first wing was jarred and you know, I was like, "There's no way we're getting through this."
But she somehow found that in her. Exactly.
Every single [music] time.
So, it's that kind of duality that I was juggling with. >> Okay.
>> But you, I feel uh less of that empathy if I can be honest. >> That's all right. That's okay. I understand. We're one of one John. Okay.
I am actually really nervous. >> I know. Me, too. >> Oh my god. >> I know. >> What's happening?
>> [laughter] >> Immediately right back into that world.
And just as you remember.
>> It's immediately gone to my nose. >> Yeah.
And how it just kind of collapses everything. I know. I know. >> I'm warm. >> I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> I'm just trying to gather myself, Sean. >> Yeah. No, I get it. I get it.
>> Sean, IT'S GOING TO WORK. >> I KNOW. >> [laughter] >> I KNOW.
LET ME TRY TO TAKE Let me try to take your mind off of it. Okay?
So, as we've covered today, you're an avid animal lover and that goes from the farm all the way to the sea. I know. I know.
So, if you'll humor me, I've put together a marine life pub quiz for you, okay?
It's multiple choice, but it is challenging, especially considering that you've just taken on the bomb.
But, if you're ready, I've got my first question for you. >> Uh-huh.
>> Which whale has the largest brain of any animal that has ever existed?
Is it A, the gray whale, B, the sperm whale, or C, the humpback whale? >> Uh, the the humpback.
>> It's actually the sperm whale with a brain [laughter] with a brain of 18 lb, more than five times the size of the average adult. >> Hilarious.
>> All right, up next, true or false, sharks predate trees.
>> Uh, true, they're dinosaurs. >> Yes, they do. That's right.
Sharks predate trees and dinosaurs, around for 400 million years. >> Wow.
>> A blue whale's heart is roughly the size of A, a watermelon, B, a king-size mattress, or C, a standard commercial vending machine. >> A mattress.
>> It's actually a commercial vending machine, a [laughter] 400-lb [snorts] heart, if you can believe that, Millie Bobby Brown. How about this?
>> What makes it better, Sean? >> I you know, the milk.
There's >> said the milk? >> Yeah, yeah, try ice. Try ice.
Yeah, we have a whole pitcher for you. Yeah, there you go.
Grab a handful if you can.
>> [laughter] >> The mantis shrimps' club-like claw is famous for what?
Glowing in the dark, punching with the speed of a bullet, or producing pearls? >> Producing pearls.
>> It actually punches with the speed [laughter] of a bullet.
>> SHUT THE >> [laughter] >> IT strikes so fast that it boils the water around it.
The shockwave can stun prey even if it misses. >> No way.
Wait, did you chat GPT this >> Animal fun facts.
Animal fun facts over here.
>> But, the thing is, is there a rule of thumb sea animals?
>> It was a marine life theme.
>> [laughter] >> You might have been battling the bomb.
You might have been battling the bomb WHEN I CLARIFIED [laughter] THAT.
>> I THOUGHT I just had bomb quiz and I'm like, why the do we KEEP TALKING ABOUT >> [laughter] >> SO, I'M at the point I still hurt. >> Yes. >> Eyes burn. >> Yeah.
>> Feel like I just had my filler.
>> [laughter] >> But completely numb. >> Yes. >> Can't feel a thing. Lidocaine. >> Mhm. And >> Crazy.
>> You've had this compounding effect, you know, like all of these wings up to this point.
But the good news is we only have two more to go. >> news. Yeah, great.
After eight, nothing feels worse.
>> That's somebody who's gone through the gauntlet before.
I think the worst is over, not to say that you can let up your guard. >> Ah, okay.
[sighs] >> Because the last two are hot, but not like >> I'm on fire.
>> Even though it doesn't measure as high on the Scoville >> No, this this hurts. >> Yeah, I know. >> Why?
>> Well, I think >> it's hot, but then it's also kind of like activating the memories >> Oh, oh, the bomb. Oh, thank you. >> exactly. That's what's happening.
>> You're like a historical [laughter] figure when it comes to wings. >> I really am, yeah. >> lost five.
>> I can speak with real authority on this.
What makes Grease 2 better than the original in your opinion?
Like, what do you know what other people What do you know that others don't?
>> everything, first of all.
[laughter] Cool Rider is the best song ever.
And yeah, I'm I'm obsessed with Michelle Pfeiffer.
One time I saw her in an elevator and I almost collapsed on the floor because I was like that that is like that was my childhood growing up.
I used to be like, [music] do you really want to know what I want in a guy?"
[laughter] Um and it was my everything.
I loved Grease 2 and it's a really it is a hot take, [music] but like what else you expect from me?
I made my husband watch Grease 1 and 2. He enjoyed 1 more.
But I think that's why we got married, you know?
It's like, "You're 1, I'm 2." And that's all right.
>> [laughter] >> Hot takes.
Wings flying off the board.
And coming up next, a very special guest.
>> Louis is going to die. He's going to die. He's going to die.
>> We're joined now on set with your Enola Holmes 3 co-star, Louis Partridge.
And we have, per Millie's request, two wings. >> Right.
>> One features the last dab.
The other, per Millie's request, the bomb beyond insanity. >> Flat one.
Will you be doing it with me? >> Absolutely not.
>> Will we taking on the bomb? >> [laughter] >> Wait. Wait.
>> Is it a mindset >> questions. Get [music] help him. >> Yeah, it is.
It really is a mindset thing here, and I can see that you're locked in. >> He's not. Yeah, I can see that.
>> It is not getting [laughter] better.
In fact, it's getting worse. >> I know. I know. It's the bomb. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> It's the worst.
It's still It's still hot. >> Yeah, yeah. All right.
So, now we're on >> Millie, [music] if you're ready, we can take on this last wing.
>> [laughter] >> Take it. No, no, no. I might as well.
>> I feel like I'm seeing my friend [laughter] die. Okay. No, no.
No, don't do that to yourself. There's no need for it. It's on there.
>> He's going out with a bang. >> out with a bang. I've had two.
I'm consolidating, condensing.
>> Speed running the hot ones, Bradley. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> He's gone. Oh my gosh.
It's [music] already hurting.
>> All right, here we go.
We'll see you on the other side. Hey, we've done it. That's it. We've done it. >> Exactly. That's the good news.
The wings of death are behind us.
And here you guys are, you guys have acted opposite each other in all three Enola Holmes films, starting off as couples who spar, ending up at the altar.
So, if you'll humor me, I have some rapid-fire, yes, most likely questions to close things out.
Which of you two is most likely to nail a sword fight sequence on the first take? >> Me, me, me, me, me.
>> Which of you is most likely to break during a serious scene?
Break or laugh during a serious scene? >> You reckon me?
That would only be from looking at you.
>> Yeah, it's me that makes him. >> That's horrible. >> I know. [laughter] I know. So pleasant. >> How about this?
Most likely to get lost traveling abroad.
And then, Millie, be very careful around the ice. >> That's me. That's me. >> I enjoy getting lost. Silly, silly idiot.
>> [laughter] [sighs] >> Um you would get lost.
Yeah, yeah, you're you're already perspiring everywhere. I'm I'm not. I mean, my makeup.
>> [laughter] >> Look about it.
>> Although I'm proving something to myself today.
I haven't even touched that yet.
>> You've both >> but you're but it doesn't matter.
>> You're allowed to, right?
I don't get prizes for not And I love milkshakes. I love milkshakes.
>> [laughter] >> No, no, you can give up.
It's you it's not about being a man. You can be yourself. No, it's okay. Just enjoy yourself. >> You loved that?
No, I hated the last wing, but the eighth is a hell on earth.
I actually want to start a petition for people [laughter] that have been on this show to get it off of this show.
>> Speaking truth on the last wing, and you both the survival instincts to run the [music] gauntlet, and now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you guys.
This camera, this camera, this camera, Louis, Millie, tell the people what you have going on in your life.
>> We We are being brave and strong.
>> [laughter] >> And Oh gosh, it hurts so much. >> better. >> It It hurts. It hurts everywhere. Just Just everywhere.
>> there will be a film coming out on Netflix [music] called Enola Holmes. >> Yeah. Number three. >> Number three, yeah.
And watch it because we will both be in it.
>> Yeah, and we we'll look a lot different to the way we do now.
We We'll be put more put together. >> Yeah. >> Thank you.
>> [applause] >> How crazy is that?
>> Just makes it better for a second. Just a second. Woo! >> Which one was worse? The The 8 one?
>> Uh I can't tell cuz they combined forces. >> Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, it's so bad.
>> Like your lips are numb. >> Yeah.
My tongue and cheeks as well. Thank you. >> even kiss my baby.
I think the first time was worse and now I was like, "Okay, I know how bad it can get." >> Yeah.
>> Like I never thought I would feel feelings the way I feel on the show.
>> [laughter] >> So now I mean I I didn't know that my nose could like hurt. >> Right.
Like maybe there's like panic the first time cuz it's uncharted territory.
>> like when the is this going to be over?" You [laughter] know?
And now I'm like, "It's going to be over soon.
It doesn't last forever."
>> See, now you know what it's like to You could host it.
Now you you KNOW WHAT IT'S >> I SHOULD CO-HOST with you.
I slayed that >> People think Hot Ones is chaos, but this table runs on precision. Every bottle has a job.
And right now Los Calientes Verde is missing.
