Millie Bobby Brown, the star of Stranger Things and the Enola Holmes franchise has revealed that she does not watch movies. In a recent interview with The Sun, Brown expressed that she struggles to focus for the duration of a film and does not enjoy sitting through her own movies. This admission came as a surprise to many, considering her successful career in the film industry.
Brown explained that people often recommend movies to her, claiming they could change her life, but she finds it difficult to sit still and concentrate for long periods. Despite her fiancé Jake Bongiovi being an avid movie enthusiast, Brown finds herself unable to share this passion. Bongiovi, who she describes as “the biggest movie buff,” can watch movies all day, a habit that Brown cannot emulate. However, she does admire certain film characters, citing Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and the protagonists in Mad Max as sources of inspiration for her inner “bad-ass.”
Brown’s confession has sparked a variety of reactions online, with some expressing shock at her lack of interest in movies and others understanding her perspective. A tweet from user @garfcoppola highlighted the surprise among some fans, suggesting that Brown’s disinterest in the industry she works in is noteworthy.

Amidst this revelation, Brown is preparing for the final season of Stranger Things, which has been delayed due to recent writers’ and actors’ strikes. With the strikes now resolved, Netflix is prioritizing its major projects, including Stranger Things and the Addams Family sequel series, Wednesday.
The specifics of Stranger Things season five remain under wraps, but it has been disclosed that Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, will have a central role. The story will continue from the dramatic conclusion of season four, where the Upside Down began to encroach upon the world of Eleven and her friends.
Brown also disclosed that she knows how her character Eleven’s story will end. After convincing the writers to let her see the plans, she found the conclusion unsettling, which led her to walk away from the meeting room “very slowly.” This ominous hint adds to the anticipation for the final season.
Stranger Things season five will bring back its ensemble cast, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Matthew Modine, Paul Reiser, and Linda Hamilton. The season promises to provide a fitting conclusion to the beloved series.
