Millie Bobby Brown shared her daughter's unimpressed reaction to seeing her on-screen.
PEOPLE was in attendance as the Stranger Things alum chatted with journalist Josh Horowitz for her new project Enola Holmes 3at the Millie Bobby Brown in Conversation with Josh Horowitz live event in New York City on Wednesday, June 24. At the event, the actress and doting mom, 22, revealed that she showed her daughter, whom she shares with husband Jake Bongiovi, the first Enola Holmes movie. During the conversation, which will be available in its entirety on Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confusedpodcast on Monday, June 29, Brown admitted that her daughter "wasn't interested at all" in seeing her mom in a movie.
"I did show her Enola Holmes 1, and she wasn't interested at all, and then I said, 'Tis I,' [and] she looked up because I sounded like mom, you know?" she explained. "She liked it. She watched like five minutes and then got completely disinterested, but it was very nice to be able to show her that, you know, all of my childhood is on Netflix."

Since expanding their family with their daughter in 2025, Brown and Bongiovi, 24, have kept her life relatively private, opting not to publicly share the baby's name or photos of her face online.
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the couple shared in their 2025 announcement. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in peace and privacy.”
During a sit-down interview with Todayon Thursday, June 25, the Damsel star opened up about her upcoming project, saying goodbye to Stranger Things and life with her baby girl. The actress also shared that her parents-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi, 64, and Dorothea, 62, are just as obsessed with her baby girl as she is, revealing how the rocker has taken to grandfather duty.
"They just had her the other day for the whole day, and they went to Target and got like a cart full of things for her," she said. "You know he's just always on the floor crawling around with her and dying laughing, videoing every new thing she does."

"He's the best and so is Dorothea, my amazing mother-in-law," Brown added. "They're the most present grandparents, and we couldn't be luckier to have them in her life."

Earlier this month, Brown appeared on a new episode of Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Liepodcast, where she chatted with the mom of four, 34, about becoming a parent via adoption. Asked to share any advice with other parents who might want to adopt, Brown revealed what the hardest part of the process was for her.
"Every journey is different. Waiting for the call is the hardest part," she shared. "I just would always encourage you to understand that every journey is different. Don't compare yourself to others, don't compare yourself to statistics, don't compare yourself to other families, but your baby is out there, and you'll find each other."
"That's something I prayed for every night," she added. "I was just very grateful that our baby was out there and we found each other."
Enola Holmes 3 will be available to stream July 1 on Netflix.
