0:31
I mean, we've got you on the show. This is so much fun. Can I just say, you guys go way back, right
0:36
Can you tell us a little bit about that? Let's see, actually, Mil, because since then you have shot to the stratosphere
0:41
So let's see if you can remember how we met. We met at the top of a rooftop at a hotel with my whole family
0:49
That's correct. Yeah, with your family. Yeah, yeah, we did. And I was a huge TOWIE fan
0:56
you know who is a huge fan chris pratt who's in this film no way on that note listen to this i
1:03
met chris pratt once and he did this mark is it yeah on your way this guy mark comes out of essex
1:08
or whatever but he did this to you he's so good at the accent how was it to work with him like
1:14
was it just incredible yeah you laugh like every single second the things that come out of his
1:20
mouth it's amazing isn't that just lovely though like when you hear them stories i think because
1:25
we've all been watching Chris Pratt on films for years. Yeah. And when you actually hear that, you think
1:29
oh, it's so nice that he's a good guy. It's a win. It's a win, yeah. And it's rare to meet gems like that in the industry
1:35
Well, let's talk about Electric State. Tell us about this new one. What can we expect? It's set in the 90s, but kind of an alternate 90s
1:42
futuristic 90s. And my character, she loses her whole family to a car accident
1:49
And when she goes into foster care, a robot comes back to visit her and he claims to be her brother And she goes on this adventure to go and find the real body of her brother See Millie always warring with something weird
2:05
like a dragon, a damsel. What's the big monster on Stranger Things
2:08
My mind's gone blank. Dagna. Yeah. Now robots. What is it? What attracts you to these roles
2:15
This is true. This is all very true. There's a common theme here. No, you know what
2:21
I just, I love, I love female heroes. I want to put female heroes on screen for young girls to be able to look up to and feel like they can be that kind of female hero in real life
2:32
And so if I can make characters that feel inspirational and uplifting and put females in the lead, I will do that
2:40
So talking about women, it is International Women's Day today. Me and Ollie rang our mums earlier on in the show and told them we loved them
2:47
Who is the most important women in your life? Well, I guess my mum, my sisters
2:51
my mum is my everything she's my best friend she is every phone call
2:57
I really, it's bad I give her zero space I'm an invasive child
3:02
she's just my best friend we talk about everything she makes me feel like
3:09
having a mum or having a maternal figure in your life that has zero judgement
3:13
and just comes at everything with such a beautiful perspective and mindset
3:17
and then my sisters are just my best friends You were singing as you came into the studio
3:22
Do you love music? Do you go and watch gigs? Do you go and see shows? Who are you loving right now
3:27
Oh, my gosh. I love, love, love music. I mean, right now, obviously, the Wicked soundtrack is Renfri living in my brain
3:33
I know every single song, every single lyric. I love, obviously, Sabrina Taylor
3:39
Like, I'm a huge girly pop. Like, just love my pop music
3:45
You've not heard Millie sing or rap? No. I'm just about to ask that mix
3:49
I don't know. No I used to actually love rap when I was a kid But like now I just I love musicals And they seem to be really hot now in hollywood aren they they really sort of a real resurgence of these musical films do you
4:02
think we'd ever see you in something like that oh my gosh i'd love i'd love to i it's definitely on
4:07
my radar i'd love to do something like that um well play like a biopic a biopic or a musical
4:12
i mean i love i love musical like growing up mamma mia was like my yeah it's just genius and
4:18
And like the fact that you get to work in, you know, Greece or wherever they filmed for
4:23
however long and just sing, like sing and dance. That's like the most joyous thing I could ever think of doing
4:28
Have you seen in London the Mamiya thing? Yes, I've been three times. I went for right before my wedding as well
4:33
And it's just like the best time ever. How can you not like have the best time with ever music
4:38
But I would love to do a musical or anything like that would be amazing. If you could play someone, you've probably been asked this a lot in a biopic, but like
4:44
a singer or an artist, who would it be? You know, growing up, I loved Amy
4:48
So for me, like, you know, when that film came out, I just, I loved that film
4:53
I thought it was amazing. So well done. But I guess, I mean, obviously everybody's talking about the obvious, which would be Brittany
5:01
She's one of my biggest inspirations. Wow, I sort of can see it
5:05
Millie, has there been a conversation about you playing Brittany? No. But if it was, you'd be taking it
5:11
Any conversation with Brittany, I'm going to take. Wow. I don't, yeah
5:16
I mean, it's, she's an icon and I would absolutely. I can see it
5:20
You've lived in America since you were young. Obviously, you're back here a lot now. Do you know any Oli songs? Yeah
5:24
What one do you know most? You're a trouble maker, trouble maker. I will say I grew up watching, loving, listening to your music
5:32
Oh, there you go, Merzy. I'm being serious. I'm really not just saying that because I really, I really did
5:38
So, yeah, I love your music. I love your music. There you go, Oli. That's major damage
5:42
Maybe you blush a bit. Now you're really blushing. Millie earlier I played you Chris Pratt doing an Essex accent Yeah He was actually doing my accent I didn take it to offence I quite liked it Yeah But we are going to play a game now called The Queen or the King of Essex I know you not from Essex I not
6:01
However, Ollie wants to play this game because, you know, we're friends. Where are you from? I'm from Essex
6:05
Are you? Oh, my gosh. I'm a little bit less more cockley than you, I think
6:10
Your mum's the most, though. Yeah, she couldn't even understand my mum. Carol. Yeah, so we're going to ask you some simple questions
6:16
It's quite easy. We thought we'd just find out who is the most Essex out of you guys. Because she knows that you love things Essex
6:20
Yeah, yeah, go on then. Can you finish this iconic GC quote
6:25
You ain't ever going to get this. Oh, that's candy. You ain't ever going to get this candy
6:30
Yes. I have no idea. You lose $10 to writing. Oh my gosh, this is so bad
6:36
God, you should know this. Actually, you probably won't know this. How much does the truffle steak cost you from sheesh
6:44
Me and Molly don't know this. We get it for free when we go. Well, I can tell you it's £125
6:51
No. I'm not ordering that. I'm going there tonight. This is crazy. Okay, this is..
6:56
Now that I know that Millie Bobby Brown is a fan of mine, or was, can you name the Essex town that I am from
7:03
Wittem. Yes! Yes! I mean... She is a fan. I was going to say Chigwet
7:10
That's the posh part of Essex. Essex is home to the longest pier in the world
7:15
Where is it? In Essex. Never, which part of Essex? South Essex
7:22
Yeah, oh, nearly. South West. East. King's up in. South End. Yes
7:29
It's a silly game, but thank you for taking part. I was terrible. I clearly know nothing, absolutely nothing about Essex
7:34
This is terrible. I don't know how we. Millie, you're amazing. We love you so much here at Heart
