  Millie Bobby Brown, welcome to Call Her Daddy.

• 3:27Speaker 01

  I cannot, I'm so excited.

• 3:30Alex Cooper?

  You look so major right now. Tell me about this outfit.

• 3:35Speaker 01

  Okay, so this is Florence by Mills, this is my company, this is a t-shirt. These pants belong to Pamela Anderson.

• 3:42Alex Cooper?

  You're lying.

• 3:43Speaker 01

  I'm not lying. She gave me these pants for the press tour and they fit and they, and I, I just couldn't really even believe that she, yeah, she gave them to me.

• 3:55Alex Cooper?

  Wait, did she just like randomly reach out and be like?

• 3:58Speaker 01

  No, so the whole, like the whole film, Electric State is based in, in the 90s. So I was like, okay, everything, I want everything I really wear in this press tour to be 90s archive. So I was like, who are the, like, the major blondes in the 90s? Like, and I was like, okay, Pammy. So I, we found out, like, I had a mutual with her. Apparently they say you're five degrees from every, you know that thing? Yeah. So I was like, I must know someone who knows her. Ended up getting in touch with her and she was like, oh, let me just look in my closet and I'll pull some stuff for you. And she pulled me a whole rack of clothes that were just like unbelievable. Like these dresses were, they're timeless. They were ridiculous. And these pants were a part of it. And I was like, call her daddy.

• 4:42Alex Cooper?

  Without a doubt, call her daddy. The fact that you're wearing Pam Anderson pants and you look like this today, I'm like, it's gonna be a good fucking morning.

• 4:51Speaker 01

  It's gonna be a great morning.

• 4:52Alex Cooper?

  I think this is the earliest I've ever done an interview on Call Her Daddy.

• 4:55Speaker 01

  Really?

• 4:55Alex Cooper?

  Everyone's always like, ooh, can we do it late night? Like, I think Megan Fox and I did it at legit 10 o'clock at night. So you're like.

• 5:02Speaker 01

  Do you feel like you do better in the morning or at night? Like, do you feel like you?

• 5:05Alex Cooper?

  I don't know. You let me know.

• 5:06Speaker 01

  Okay, okay, okay. You know, like, and I'm not trying, like, I listen to every episode. Like Jake, Jake, my husband, we, I'm on the drive and Jake's like, put the next episode on Chelsea. So I just recently listened to the Chelsea Handler one. I was in bed and my husband's like, what are you doing? I was crying in fits. Like you trying to keep a straight face while she's telling the most absurd stories. I loved that episode so much.

• 5:34Alex Cooper?

  Thank you. She is like one of one. I feel like she's like my older sister when I sit down with her.

• 5:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:40Alex Cooper?

  And it's crazy because I don't know if you've ever had this moment, but like in your career, but like I looked up to Chelsea so much. I watched her on late night. Like she, when I was like sitting in my house in Pennsylvania, wanting to make it like she was the person that I looked up to. So to now be like friends with her, I'm like, oh, what is life? Like, have you ever met a celebrity where you're like, I can't believe I'm, I guess your Pam Anderson moment is probably.

• 6:03Speaker 01

  I mean, yeah, I mean, hopefully one day we can actually be like real, real friends. Like that would be epic. Um, I don't know. I think, um, I feel that way, I guess.

• 6:15Speaker 01

  Gosh, that's really, that's really tough. Um, I'm friends with Ray, who is like the most iconic singer of all time. Um, and she, I, I sometimes think like, wow, like, I can't believe I'm friends with her. Like, she's just such a cool, yeah, she's such a cool girl. And Tom Cruise, but that's.

• 6:34Alex Cooper?

  So casual, so casual.

• 6:36Speaker 01

  I'm like, yeah, he's just like, he's like epic. Cause I love stunts. I love doing my own stunts. So he is like a huge, huge inspiration to me because he does, of course, all his own stunts. So for me, like, he is like, I love, I love kind of being the girl, the girl version.

• 6:50Alex Cooper?

  Just so casual, your life.

• 7:09Alex Cooper?

  Daddy gang, did you know the average person has to send out 51 resumes just to try to land a job? It is insane and it's a lot of work, but honestly, I believe that, right? I remember when I got my first job out of college, I literally spent months applying and applying and applying and then applying. And the worst part is you can spend all this time finding the right role, fixing your resume, writing the application, and then you might not even hear back, right? And it is so frustrating because you're like, okay, I know I would be so great for this job, but how do I actually get them to even notice me? That is where ZipRecruiter comes in, my friends. Okay?

  I always think it is so important to find time to take care of myself because I think self-care for me a lot of times is getting some alone time, even if it's just go on a 10-minute walk outside. Self-care can obviously look different at different stages of life and the ways that we practice it often evolve over time. But one possible way to take care of yourself is through therapy.

• 10:31Speaker 01

  No, no, no, this is not, this is definitely not my day to day. Um, I moved to Atlanta to film Stranger Things and then that was like, that was 10 years ago. So then we filmed Stranger Things there and my parents didn't want me to stay or live in LA. They didn't want to live in LA. They really wanted to kind of shelter me from.

• 10:53Speaker 01

  The society out here, just because it can be overwhelming for child actors. So they kept me in Georgia and then I lived with them up until I was eighteen, but then at that point I had like two dogs in my room and a rabbit. And they were like, no more animals. And I was like, that's gonna be a problem. So I ended up moving. I bought a house right next to them. So I have a house next to them in London and a house next to them in Georgia. So I live across the street, but I do live, I live on a farm next to them.

• 11:20Alex Cooper?

  Okay, take me through how many animals you now have that you're like, goodbye, parents, hello, my own farm. How many animals and can you name them all?

• 11:29Speaker 01

  Yes, yes, I have. So I have twenty five farm animals. So that's like the goats, Cardi B, Slick Rick, Eminem. I have um Frank, I have Betty. Like they're all named. So the donkeys are like bee names, the cows Barnaby Bessie. So they're all just like that. I do kind of think like, what name do I? And then I've realized I've named them all after names I actually really like for kids' names like. So it's like, I am like Winnie, like my dog Winnie. I love that name for a kid. Like I wish, but I cannot because Winnie's truly ruined the name. She's a psycho dog. Um, she's the best dog ever. But you know, when you have the dog that's just like emotionally dependent on you.

• 12:05Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 12:05Speaker 01

  I'm like, I can't now name my child that. Um, I have Winnie. These are my dogs. So now I have ten dogs.

• 12:11Alex Cooper?

  What?

• 12:12Speaker 01

  So twenty five animals live outside. Then I have ten dogs that live inside, four cats, and then I have twenty three dogs that live outside, but in a, in a sanctuary, in a, in a rescue building that's outside my, my house that I built to save stray dogs.

• 12:28Alex Cooper?

  How many of these animals are sleeping in bed with you at night?

• 12:33Speaker 01

  Okay, so it actually became a problem. It was on Electric State where Jake said like no more, like mill, like it's becoming, it was, it's becoming a real issue. We were like in the car and he was like, I can't anymore. And I was like. This is actually an argument we're gonna have right now because I was like, I love having all of my dogs in bed with me, but when he's away, I have all the dogs in bed with me.

• 12:54Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, it's like a party.

• 12:56Speaker 01

  But we've now it's only Winnie, like it's only Winnie in bed and I'm yeah livid about it, but.

• 13:01Alex Cooper?

  I'm picturing Jake leaving on a trip and you like whistle and they all run into your room.

• 13:05Speaker 01

  The Rottweiler, the Great, they're all in there.

• 13:08Alex Cooper?

  You have a Great Dane?

• 13:08Speaker 01

  I have a Great Dane Barbie, which I named her Barbie before Barbie was a thing and everybody was like, oh my God, such a cute name. And I was like, I hopped on that train a lot, a lot. Yeah, I was very, I love that name so much, but I have to say Barbie to Americans because they go Bobby? And I'm like, no, it's Barbie. And then they're like, Barbie? And I'm like Barbie. Oh, it's the most annoying thing ever. So, um, yeah, no, I have, oh my gosh, an abundance of animals.

• 13:34Alex Cooper?

  I'm obsessed that you have a Great Dane, like you like so little and then you just have this dog that's ginormous. Um, I see people online are saying that you're in your trad wife era. What is your take on that?

• 13:47Speaker 01

  I, I get it. Like, I understand, like, why they would say that because like I am, I am actually like, I have chickens, I get the eggs. Like, I, I know what it looks like from afar, except I could not be, and I did get married young. Like it, it's all, it's all really veering in that direction, except like, I am like, you know, I am a really like, you know, I don't know. I, I love my job. I love being untraditional and unconventional in so many ways of my life. But I don't think like, yeah, like me just being, I just think I'm, I love being on a farm and Jake does too. So like, that would then make him a trad husband. I don't know.

• 14:25Alex Cooper?

  Oh, I love that for Jake.

• 14:27Speaker 01

  You know, like, I don't know what that means.

• 14:29Alex Cooper?

  I want to just say also, I was thinking about it, like I, I think it also depends on where you're at in your life. Like I was cooking on Sunday. I cooked for my husband. I was like, I am a trad wife through and through.

• 14:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:41Alex Cooper?

  Because I never cook. So I also think it's like, that word is mean to. You cook every night?

• 14:46Speaker 01

  I cook every night. Yeah, this is the problem. I know.

• 14:49Alex Cooper?

  Oh, you're a full trad wife.

• 14:51Speaker 01

  I cook every night. I love cooking. Like cooking is like, that's where I find like, I can put all my anxiety into cooking and I'm re, I'm really good.

• 15:00Alex Cooper?

  What is your go to dish? What is Jake like, give it to me now?

• 15:03Speaker 01

  He loves, I make steak frites. I make paella. I make, I make roast dinner, which is like an English, like, like Thanksgiving dinner, but I make that every Sunday. Yeah, like I, I do take my cooking very serious. I make, we do like a, like a taco Tuesday night. We do, I make the, every Sunday I make what the next week looks like.

• 15:22Alex Cooper?

  She's meal prepping. She is meal prepping.

• 15:25Speaker 01

  The only thing I do not, I cannot, I hate going grocery shopping. Like I always send Jake. Like that is something I really, I can't.

• 15:31Alex Cooper?

  Yeah. Um, okay. I want to get to know you a little better today. So I'm going to ask you some questions and you're just going to answer first thing that comes to your mind and then we can discuss.

• 15:39Speaker 01

  All right.

• 15:40Alex Cooper?

  If you could be cast into any reality TV show, which would you choose?

• 15:46Speaker 01

  The Secret Lives of Mom and the Wife. I just finished that. I'm, I'm obsessed. I cannot with that show.

• 15:56Alex Cooper?

  Picturing you. That is.

• 15:58Speaker 01

  I know. I just feel like, yeah, no, that show is epic. I just finished Love. Are you a Love Island girl?

• 16:03Alex Cooper?

  I am so Love Island through and through. And I feel like anytime someone would ask me this, I'm like, shit, I'm married. But my answers would always be the like Love Island versions. But then I'm like, I'm married, but I, that's all I watch is like the loved ones.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know. And I also think I would be voted out immediately. I'd probably be so boring because I hate drama. So like if I'm in, I just immediately like retreat. Like I, I don't.

• 16:26Alex Cooper?

  You're a bombshell.

• 16:27Speaker 01

  I, I, that's, I'm a blonde bombshell. No, I know. We, I actually just was in Turks and Caicos with all my friends and we played Love Island, like, but as if it was like, like, as if it was like murder mystery, like we all had different characters. It was so fun. Jake and I like immediately coupled up together. I was like, he was doing an English accent. It was epic. It was so epic. But I was like, that's the closest thing I'll ever get to being in Love Island.

• 16:53Alex Cooper?

  Wait, can we talk about your blonde hair?

• 16:55Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 16:55Alex Cooper?

  Are you feeling like this is like an alter ego? Like what's the vibe?

• 16:59Speaker 01

  I, you know, I've, I've been blonde before. I don't, people are like so. Shocked about it. The only difference, because in Electric State, I was blonde. But the, the only difference is that we just, we did go to like my roots. So I am now like platinum, platinum blonde. Whereas before I was leaving out quite a lot of like the dark, my dark, like darkness in there, because I'm naturally quite dark. Um, but yeah, I like, I, I think, yeah, I, I Jake's like, you look totally different to me. And so does my dad. I, I sat in the chair for 13 hours getting my, getting my hair done, walk into the room. My dad's like, oh. I was like, that is not, no.

• 17:34Alex Cooper?

  Dad, I'm gonna do this again.

• 17:36Speaker 01

  I know.

• 17:36Alex Cooper?

  We're gonna do this one more time.

• 17:38Speaker 01

  And this time I'm gonna need a gasp. I want an applause. Um, but no, I just think I look really different to what people are usually seeing me as. But yeah, it's so fun. Yeah.

• 17:47Alex Cooper?

  It's so fun. Okay. Sabrina Carpenter arrested you at her Atlanta show.

• 17:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:51Alex Cooper?

  But if you really went to jail, what do you think it would be for?

• 17:55Speaker 01

  Oh, like having too many dogs or something terrible. Like, there'd be like, Millie, it's just too many dogs. No, um, maybe like, maybe like in, like trying to like, like I have been in situations where if I feel like dogs are being mistreated, like I would.

• 18:12Alex Cooper?

  You're going in.

• 18:12Speaker 01

  Steal a dog. Yeah. If I needed to, like, if I felt a dog was being mistreated, I think I'd probably, just saving a dog, like in general. That would be what I go, otherwise like I am, I am, you have no idea. This is what leads back into the trap. I am so like straight and narrow, like do not, I'm never, ever. Yeah. I'm, I follow every single rule. I am a rule follower.

• 18:32Alex Cooper?

  I love that for you.

• 18:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:33Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay. What is something the Brits do better than Americans?

• 18:38Speaker 01

  Gosh, this is interesting. I don't want to get in trouble. I would say, um, I, I think the banter is just a lot better. I do love America, like I do like my, like, uh, my husband, his friends, my friends here in the States, like, and even Jake's family, like have great banter. So I'm not taking that. They do have really good banter. And actually Americans can have quite like English banter, but my family is just, it's another level.

• 19:03Alex Cooper?

  We watch it on Love Island.

• 19:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly.

• 19:05Alex Cooper?

  You watch the difference. U S just had its best season yet. It still doesn't compare to the banter.

• 19:10Speaker 01

  No, the banter.

• 19:11Alex Cooper?

  The drama is great.

• 19:13Speaker 01

  The drama here is so much better. Yeah. But in, in England, the banter's unmatched.

• 19:17Alex Cooper?

  The banter. Okay. What is something random that pisses you off?

• 19:21Speaker 01

  Oh, I mean, what pisses you off?

• 19:24Alex Cooper?

  Um.

• 19:24Speaker 01

  Like, what, like what random are we talking here?

• 19:28Alex Cooper?

  Like it depends how gossipy we want to get. I'm like, when someone lies to my face and you can, I can kind of tell when someone's lying.

• 19:36Speaker 01

  Same.

• 19:36Alex Cooper?

  Cause you know when they like do that clenched jaw thing where you're like, no, you're fully lying to my face. But I then am bad at being confrontational.

• 19:42Speaker 01

  Right. So I'm really good at being confrontational.

• 19:44Alex Cooper?

  You are.

• 19:45Speaker 01

  See, that's the thing. I don't like drama, but if you like come at me with something, I am, I will confront you because I just feel like I'm not the, I'm not the kind, if you met my mom, I, we are not the kind of family that like takes bullshit. Like we will just tell you right then and there. Like we don't wait a couple of days to simmer. We're like, no, no, no, this is, you wait.

• 20:02Alex Cooper?

  I need, I need to get so much better at that because I wait and then I like ruminate on it and I'm thinking about it and then I'm like.

• 20:08Speaker 01

  Question if you're in the wrong. No, you can't have time for that. No time for that. No, you have to be like, no, these are the facts. And also I never, I never want to forget. You know, when they're like, but when, what happened? And I, I forget. I want to know right in the moment. So for me, um, yeah, I, I don't like, maybe what pisses me off, I, I mean, obviously lying is so annoying. Um, and I'm an actor, so I can also see when people lie. Like I can see when people are fibbing. Um, but I would say, gosh, maybe just like when people, um, when like, but this is, this, this makes me not just pissed off. This makes me like leave a room, cut like,

• 20:46Speaker 01

  I don't see you really the same. It's like loud, loud slurping, loud chewing, loud, loud, anything like that. I cannot bear like it. Hurts me. It really, really hurts me. It sends shivers down my spine like that bad.

• 20:59Alex Cooper?

  Oh wait, do you have TikTok?

• 21:01Speaker 01

  No.

• 21:01Alex Cooper?

  Oh, good for you. Cause I was gonna say, what are you doing? Do you ever go on like YouTube where people do eating videos? Could you ever? No.

• 21:06Speaker 01

  I couldn't do that. I mean, I was watching a show the other day. I'm not even going to say what show it was, but I was watching a show and I was in bed and, and he was eating and I went disgusting, disgusting. Put on mute, put on mute. I couldn't. Jake was like calmed down. I was like, I can't. Why would he eat like that on a show?

• 21:21Alex Cooper?

  Do you get grossed out by your own eating?

• 21:24Speaker 01

  No. But that's, this is the problem. I'm deaf in one ear. So when I chew, I can't hear anything else. But like, I can't hear anything. So if I'm in a room with someone chewing, I eat something really loud. So I can't hear them.

• 21:36Alex Cooper?

  Interesting.

• 21:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:37Alex Cooper?

  Do you have Jake sit on your, the side where you can't hear when you're having date night?

• 21:42Speaker 01

  No, actually, he already likes to sit next to each other on data. He doesn't sit opposite. So you're good. What about your opposite?

• 21:48Alex Cooper?

  It depends on the seating. Like, if it's a booth situation, I love a corner booth.

• 21:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:53Alex Cooper?

  So we can both be in there and we're people watching.

• 21:55Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 21:55Alex Cooper?

  And we're like, look at those freaks. Look at that person. They look like they're breaking up.

• 21:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly. I love that.

• 22:01Alex Cooper?

  Sometimes we'll be across from each other. Okay, you're next to each other.

• 22:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, but he, he, I'm not like, I'm, I'm just, I'm just kind of bad enough where like, things are just like, very, very like, muffled underwater to me. I miss a lot of things he says. He calls it selective hearing. I disagree. But, um, but I miss like, action and cut. Like, I do miss very important things in my life, like, because I can't hear. It's great. It's, yeah, I was born with it and I just, they've never, they kind of gave up. She said, she's broken.

• 22:26Alex Cooper?

  Let's talk about you growing up. Okay. Obviously, you got your big break on Stranger Things. We need a little behind the scenes. You have the biggest fandom. Obviously, people will forever love the show. Can you share like, any funny or chaotic story that just like, happened behind the scenes that we weren't privy to as fans? That you can just give us a little, anything?

• 22:49Speaker 01

  I mean, honestly, there was like, as much as it, you know, we grew up on the show and we were so young, but like, we had so much fun as kids. Like, I will say that, like, we, as much as we worked and like, we had, our schedules were crazy. Us kids, we were, we stuck together like glue. We did everything together. We laughed like, all the time. Like, I just, I look back on those memories and we did just have so much fun. Like, Noah and I once, it was season three, Noah Schnapp. He and I were the youngest, so we stuck together really close because we were silly. Like the old, like the other kids, they were older, they, they, they weren't like, we were really silly.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  Like we would pull faces, make noise, do like the fart jokes. Like we were the nightmares of the group. And understandably, um, but we once, uh, all the teachers were on lunch and we, and this is where I don't, I wasn't doing a rule following thing. I, we TP'd the whole classroom and then we hid all of the teachers' computers, like, like, and, and, and then we hid in the closet of, of the classroom. And when the teachers came in, they couldn't find, they couldn't find anything. The other kids were like, what happened in here? They're on the radio like, where's Millie and Noah? We need to get them on set. And we were just hysterical in the closet. And I just look back on those moments and be like, you have to do that. Like, weren't you, like, weren't you, like,

• 24:13Speaker 01

  my, like, my husband's like, he used to TP, um, like with his siblings, like before, like at Halloween.

• 24:20Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 24:20Speaker 01

  I, I wasn't doing any of that. I wasn't allowed to. So just like those moments, you look back and you go, oh, we were so silly.

• 24:25Alex Cooper?

  No, that is so cute. Cause I agree. It's like, that is the stuff that I was doing around my neighborhood. When like kids would be like TP'ing trees and everyone's like, oh my God, we're gonna get in so much trouble.

• 24:35Speaker 01

  I know. But then when we came out, the teachers were belly laughing at us and the, the A Ds were rolling their eyes. Cause they're like, of course they would do that. And they took pictures and we took pictures like in the TP'd classroom. And all the kids were like, you guys are nuts. And we knew it.

• 24:48Alex Cooper?

  Wait, that's cute. Okay. Who on the cast is most likely to make someone laugh during a scene?

• 24:55Speaker 01

  Oh gosh. I mean, for me personally, like Noni makes like, when Noni makes me laugh, like, because she's just so, she's so wholesome sometimes, like she, and like I just, she makes me chuckle and she knows she does. Like, so I think her or, um, or Noah, like Noah knows how to get, like Noah knows my weakness. Cause Noah will like do the silly, we make fun of each other's like poses. So like in Stranger Things, he always does like, he always feels the demogorgon. And like, he always goes, like, and I will do it with him behind the camera to sabotage him. And then he does the same. He'll be like, and I'm like, and like, we just, we sabotage each other. Like what can we, like, I, I, that's what we do.

• 25:34Speaker 01

  That, and then like, he knows my weaknesses, but the, the, they all make me laugh, honestly. Like I am easily the one to break for sure.

• 25:41Alex Cooper?

  Cute. Okay. Who gives the best advice?

• 25:43Speaker 01

  Oh my gosh, Winona.

• 25:45Alex Cooper?

  Who does their own stunts?

• 25:47Speaker 01

  Me. I, from, I don't know. I don't like, especially the, I do my own stunts. I do all of them. Yeah.

• 25:53Alex Cooper?

  Who do you think is most likely to have the craziest fan interaction?

• 25:57Speaker 01

  Finn. Finn, I think Finn. Finn is just so like, he's just so like, he's so funny. And I feel like, I feel like his fans also are a little bit more like, you know, he has a huge following because he's Mike. Like people love him. Like I know even so many of my girlfriends growing up were like, Finn basically posters on the wall. So I think he probably would have, I do have some, some weird experiences, but I think him maybe the most. I don't know.

• 26:23Alex Cooper?

  I was gonna say, I feel like you've had, what is like one of your weirder fan interactions that you've had in your life?

• 26:29Speaker 01

  One time I had a man bring me at an event, a coffin with a doll of me in it.

• 26:40Speaker 01

  And I was like, oh, so cute.

• 26:43Alex Cooper?

  No, stop. That's like your people pleasing tendencies.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  I know, I know. Cause I was like, I'm not gonna like, I was like, oh my gosh, that's so, that's so cool. Um, and you worked so hard on it. And I was, and then he wanted to give it to me and I was like, no, no, no, I'm okay. I don't want to take that with me. So I signed it and then I gave it back to him.

• 27:01Alex Cooper?

  Millie?

• 27:02Speaker 01

  I'm trying to help, you know, I don't want to make him feel bad.

• 27:05Alex Cooper?

  Dude, those are the moments in life where like, I, I have so much respect when you watch those videos of like, a celebrity getting just like cornered. And in that moment, there's no right way to handle that. And probably if someone wasn't being filmed, like a normal person would be like, what the fuck are you doing?

• 27:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, what is that?

• 27:21Alex Cooper?

  This is so thoughtful.

• 27:22Speaker 01

  You worked so hard on that. No, I know.

• 27:25Alex Cooper?

  I'm obsessed.

• 27:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know.

• 27:26Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay. You obviously had to shave your head the first season. How did you feel about that?

• 27:32Speaker 01

  I honestly did not, did not care. Like, like, and I'm saying that, like, like I really did not care. I didn't have anxiety. I wasn't sad. When they shaved it off, I just thought, cool. Like now this is what I'm doing. Like, I think, I think it started to hit me months and months in where like, you get at that age where you're 11 now and you're, you're shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length. Cause we're filming, so continuity wise, you're shaving it. So every time it started to grow and I'd get excited, it'd be shit, like we'd shave it again. So I think it became to the point where I was like, like 12, 11 or 12, where I was like, The boys started liking girls and I and I was kind of like, maybe why are boys not liking

• 28:15Speaker 01

  me? And then I was like, oh, I'm feeling like insecure now. So then I would put wigs on and I got, I did get really, really like bullied, like in public, um, people would like make comments and stuff, but on, I honestly, I still to this day, like, loved the experience and I would do it again. Like, I always tell Jake, like, for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off. Like, I don't know, I just feel like such, it was really like liberating, would suggest it for anyone, any girl.

• 28:41Alex Cooper?

  Wait, so you're saying if you, when you have your first child, you would shave your head?

• 28:45Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 28:45Alex Cooper?

  Like when you have the child or when you're?

• 28:47Speaker 01

  Like right, like maybe like right before I'm about to give birth. Like, cause I just think, like, hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with. Like, why, I'm gonna like nurture my child, why like deal with my hair? And I think it's such a liberating experience. Like, to be a woman is, is, and I felt like, I had that experience as a girl, but I'd like to have that experience as a woman.

• 29:07Alex Cooper?

  That's pretty incredible that even you saying like, you experienced bullying from it, you did it at a young age, but now I feel like to hear someone own something that they were shamed for and made fun of and be like, oh, I'd do it again. Like, that's, how do you think you got though to that point from being like insecure about it at one point to now wanting to almost like relive the feelings and experience again?

• 29:30Speaker 01

  Yeah. I just don't, I just don't allow like outside noise to influence something that meant so much to me at that time. Like, that, it, I did love it. Like, I would go home and my mom and dad, like, always supported me, always hyped me up, told me I looked amazing. And like, so that, it was a fantastic experience. It's when I stepped out my door, when I felt like people were making me question if it was, looked good or not. Like, they didn't, but they didn't infiltrate like my front door, you know, those, that noise didn't. So for me, like, and I know I'm in a much stronger place now, like, that I could deal with that noise. I don't care. Like, I deal with it every single day. So for me, I'm like, that's nothing.

• 30:08Alex Cooper?

  Even you talking about that though, Millie, of like, starting at 10, then having this experience where people were so fixated on like, what you were looking like and your hair, and then you start to mature and become a young woman. And I feel like it was obvious for so long that you were so hyper-sexualized in media. Everyone was so fascinated as you were growing up. Yeah. How do you think that impacted the way that you approached romantic relationships as you started to like, become a young woman?

• 30:54Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb. So, the other day, I was just scrolling on my phone, and one of those "one year ago today" notifications popped up. I usually don't pay much attention to them, but when I saw it, was from my Napa trip with Lauren. I obviously had to go back through every single photo. I remember, we drove up to Napa for a weekend and found the cutest farmhouse on Airbnb to stay in. The location could not have been more perfect. It was right by a vineyard and overlooked this beautiful golf course, which, yes, Matt was very jealous of. During the day, we went wine tasting,

• 31:37Alex Cooper?

  like a little cute couple. Then we brought our favorite bottles back to the house at night for cozy, long girl talks on the couch. Obviously, I haven't had a drink in forever since being pregnant, so I cannot wait for wine nights again soon with my girlfriends. And now that holiday travel season is finally here, all of my group chats are going off with everyone trying to coordinate dates and just figure out where we're gonna stay and where we're gonna go next. But looking back through those photos reminded me that some of the best parts of a trip happen back at the house, right? Like, that's why I love booking a home on Airbnb. It literally

• 32:18Alex Cooper?

  Gives everyone space to just spread out and it makes every trip feel more relaxed. You can even order groceries, which I love for your trip through Airbnb and have everything from breakfast essentials to holiday snacks delivered after you arrive. If you're planning your Thanksgiving trip or any holiday travel this season, definitely check out Airbnb before you book. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Stouffer's. Let me tell you something, when I am hungry and I am trying to figure out what to eat, sometimes you can just actually become so, you're angry. You're like, I am busy, I'm hungry, I'm getting hangry, I'm getting angry. What can I eat? I need something hot and delicious and low maintenance.

• 33:01Alex Cooper?

  Well, introducing Stouffer's dinners are not only delicious, they're done in a flash. Serve up their classic lasagna, chicken pesto or carbonara for two. Whatever you're craving, Stouffer's is your hot, delicious, easy meal fantasy. When the clock strikes dinner, think Stouffer's. You can see all the delicious options at Stouffer's.com. You were so hypersexualized in media. Everyone was so fascinated as you were growing up.

• 33:26Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:26Alex Cooper?

  How do you think that impacted the way that you approached romantic relationships? As you started to like become a young woman?

• 33:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. Honestly, I think it's again, like my parents put me like, we lived in Georgia. So I didn't like, when I was like talking to boys, it was usually like either people in the industry or like, like that's kind of the only way I didn't go to school. I didn't go to parties, so I didn't meet anyone. It was mostly online, like I, like that's kind of where I was like, oh, that boy's cute, but like, I don't know, like maybe, and maybe one day I'll meet him and then I, you know, and that's kind of how that happened. It was never like I dropped my coffee and met, you know, a guy like that just wasn't the case for me. So I was like, kind of.

• 34:14Speaker 01

  I I never got to meet anyone. Everything was very monitored.

• 34:17Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 34:17Speaker 01

  In terms of when I met a boy.

• 34:19Alex Cooper?

  I feel like every time I've sat down with anyone that was a child actor, they talk a lot about like, how normalized it was. Like you kind of mentioned, like you're around adults all day. Like, you were fortunate to have a pretty big cast of like younger kids.

• 34:34Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 34:34Alex Cooper?

  But you're interacting in like a pretty adult way. Like, do you ever look back and be like, oh my God, I became so used to maybe like interactions with adults that weren't as normal for young kids?

• 34:46Speaker 01

  100%. I 100% agree with you. Like that, that's, that's something I, again, I, I actually just talked about it. Um, in my Vanity Fair cover, but like for me, yeah, I have trouble communicating even still with people my own age. And I'm now 21 and I'm still like, okay, like I can't, I sometimes I find it hard navigating conversations or finding things in common. Um, and that I know is just due to like my lack of socialization with children. Um, but I, if you put like a six year old woman in front of me, I could talk for maybe like four or five hours. Like that's, and I just, I grew up with people over the age of 30 all the time.

• 35:31Speaker 01

  And now I can have a conversation with, I'm, most of my friends basically are over 25.

• 35:39Alex Cooper?

  Do you find that you are different? Like even me, like sitting with me, I'm just turned 30. Like thinking about you interacting with me versus if you were interacting with like a six year old, do you think you would speak to us differently or like your vibe changes?

• 35:56Speaker 01

  Yeah. No, I definitely think my vibe changes. I feel so comfortable talking to you. I have, I have a 30 year old sister. So we are like very close in the way I, and I think also that has a lot to do with it. Like I have a 27 year old brother, a 30 year old sister. So we have very big age gap. So I grew up with a lot of adults in the house anyway, but I do have a 12 year old sister. So I do love kids. I, I grew up having a baby in the house. So for me, yeah, I do, I do really connect with. With kids.

• 36:23Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 36:24Speaker 01

  So that it's like, it's like really like under 10. It's in between 10 and like 21. That I'm just like, ah, I don't know what to talk to you about. And I'm really scared. I don't have TikToks. I really don't know what you're talking about. If you're like making a joke about something that that's where I

• 36:38Alex Cooper?

  I love that for you.

• 36:39Speaker 01

  That's where I struggle.

• 36:39Alex Cooper?

  I love that for you, though, because you don't need to be on TikTok.

• 36:41Speaker 01

  The other day, something was just said, oh, gosh, and my husband was like, Millie. And it's just like the, the, yeah, the golden white dress. Like, I'm, I'm just realizing what that is. Like, so that's where I, that's where I'm at.

• 36:55Alex Cooper?

  I love that for you. I actually think you should stay right there.

• 36:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:59Alex Cooper?

  Because the shit that fills our brains online, it's like, none of this is useful.

• 37:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:03Alex Cooper?

  None of it.

• 37:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:04Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay, let's talk about your relationship.

• 37:06Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 37:06Alex Cooper?

  You married Jake Bon Jovi. How did you guys meet?

• 37:10Speaker 01

  We met through a mutual friend. My friend was going to college, where he was going to college. And I wound up getting his number, but never actually called him. Um, I was single and was just kind of like, I'll put it in my phone. I don't even know why I had it in my phone, but I just put it in my phone. She ended up not going to that college. So then they like, but we were like all kind of like, I don't know. I, we wanted them to like be friends and like, I wa, I really wanted her to find a group. Um, and then we, it was four months later. And then I just came home from work and I was in my room and I thought, I'm just going to cold call people.

• 37:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, I was like, I'm so bored. And the first person I called was him. And I, and I was like, hi, my name is Millie. And he was like, hi, I'm Jake. And I was like, um, and the first thing I said, so like gross. I was like, are you single? And he was like, yes. And I was like, okay. And then I was like, um, where are you? And he was like, I'm at college. And he was at college at the time. And I was like, okay. Um, I was like, I'm single too. And he was like, great. Like, I, and he, we were friends for a while. Like, we'd text back and forth and called, and we watched like shows on Zoom and stuff like together. We, he did not flirt with me like once, like when I tell you I'm really good, when I can sense

• 38:39Speaker 01

  that, like had no clue. And I said to my mom, you're gonna have to sit in on a conversation I have with him and tell me, are you getting that? Like, cause I don't know if he's flirting with me or not. And I went down to my parents after a phone call one night. I said, he's either gonna be the maid of honor at my wedding or the groom. I don't know which one it's like, I don't know. He's either gonna be my best friend or like my husband. I cannot tell. And she sat in on the conversation and she said, he isn't flirting with you. Like, he isn't like, he doesn't show any signs of interest. And he was, he's just so respectful, like so like, and I, and basically one night I just said to him, I really like you and I really don't want that to ruin our friendship. Cause I really like our friendship, but I do really like you and I just want you to know. And then he was like, wow, you're

• 39:22Speaker 01

  so bold. And I was like, what do you mean? Um, and then the next day he was like, I really like you too. We should, we should meet. And so we met and then like the rest is history.

• 39:33Alex Cooper?

  Men?

• 39:35Speaker 01

  I know. It took him that long though, to be like, yeah, no, I do like you. I was like, wow, you're so, so bold. Had to fall asleep, wake up the next morning to thinking, oh, he actually despises me to him being like, no, I, I do actually really like you.

• 39:48Alex Cooper?

  Like you falling asleep on Zooms together?

• 39:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:51Alex Cooper?

  You're like, I don't need a best friend.

• 39:53Speaker 01

  No, I know.

• 39:54Alex Cooper?

  But I'm glad you thought it was all just like platonic at first.

• 39:57Speaker 01

  I know. But again, he was like, just he, that's him, like through and through, like even like, he's just that kind of guy. Like he is so friendly, so nice to everyone. He could literally have a conversation with a brick wall. I cannot. So like, I literally like cut to the chase. Do you like me? And he's like, wow, you're so bold. I know. He's gonna kill me for saying that, but that is the truth.

• 40:17Alex Cooper?

  That though is like, what I do love about that is I feel like on the other side, I've spoken to women about their like interactions with a guy at first. And it's like, there's something endearing when a guy is not like the most like aggressive pursuer because it just feels like you being the one that was like, hello?

• 40:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know. I was like, are you seeing what's happening here? We have a great connection. We're good friends. Like, and I knew his favorite color, like Favorite food, all the things before I met him. And then when I met him, I walked through the airport. And usually this is a huge ick for me, like, just like men picking me up from an airport. Make me feel sick. Like, I can't, I refuse. I had, it's just like, I've had bad experiences where they get me flowers. And I'm like, I cannot interact with you ever again. Um, it just freaks me out. I just think it's like weird. He picks me up and I was like in love. Like, I was like, oh my God, you've broken the cycle. How have you broken the cycle?

• 41:13Alex Cooper?

  Billy, this is the most random ick I have ever fucking heard from anyone on this show.

• 41:17Speaker 01

  You don't see what I'm coming from. You don't see where I'm coming.

• 41:20Alex Cooper?

  Actually, I can so see it though.

• 41:23Speaker 01

  Just the standing there waiting. I just can't, I can't bear it.

• 41:27Alex Cooper?

  Now, in hindsight, I remember back in New York when I dated this guy.

• 41:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:30Alex Cooper?

  He was there with like his little joggers on and he was just standing, we're gonna throw him it. We're both gonna throw up.

• 41:37Speaker 01

  Did he have flowers? No, cause if he had.

• 41:39Alex Cooper?

  He had a little sign.

• 41:40Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no, no. Are you kidding me? I would have turned back into TSA and gone, check me, like, actually, get me a boarding pass, get me on the next plane, never speaking to you ever again. I'm sorry, I can't bear it. A sign, a sign. Are you a chauffeur? No. Like, actually, no way. No, I can't, I can't. I really can't. No.

• 42:03Alex Cooper?

  It's so accurate, though, of them standing there. So he fully broke the cycle.

• 42:06Speaker 01

  No, he actually did something even worse. He picks me up and spun me around, which again, could add to my ick. And I loved every second of it. I was like, like, like, loved it. I loved it so much. It was epic. But yeah, no, I, any other man that did that, I would have got him in a headlock. Yeah. No, absolutely not. So, you know, he broke the cycle. Thank God.

• 42:29Alex Cooper?

  Oh my God, Jake, we love that for you.

• 42:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, I know.

• 42:32Alex Cooper?

  Okay, I heard that the first time then Jake hung out with your family.

• 42:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:37Alex Cooper?

  Is you went on an RV road trip, all of you together?

• 42:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know.

• 42:40Alex Cooper?

  What?

• 42:41Speaker 01

  My family, if we, we don't like to fly anywhere. We like to drive. So we've literally like, my whole life, we get in a car and we drive. We've driven from LA to Vancouver. We've driven from Florida to LA. Like, we do road trips everywhere. So we go to the South a lot. Like, that's just like what we do. And it's kind of like his initiation. Like, if he can't pass that, then. Like, you know what I mean? Like, if you can't sit in a car and sing songs with my family, like, that's gonna be a huge issue. So I invited him to, uh, on a family road trip. We got in an RV. He had never been in an RV before, which I was like, what? What do you mean he's never in an RV? Like, this is my family, right? Um, we got in and he just fit right in. Like, my family were like, kind of scared. They were like,

• 43:25Speaker 01

  we're gonna, we're gonna traumatize him for basically sixteen hours. But he loved it. Like, he got out of the gas station, brought us all snacks. We all sung songs. And I, and then, from then on, I was like, oh, if my family, my dad, who like, when we first met, he, when he first met my dad, my dad was driving to pick him up. And I was mortified. I couldn't even believe we were all getting in a car together. Like, we picked him up from the airport and my dad stopped at the airport, like, side pickup. And as Jake's getting in, my dad started driving as he's getting in the car. And I was like, dad, stop, dad, stop. And he like, hopped in and Jake like swung his hair back and was like, hey, Mr. Brown. And so suave. Like, it was unbelievable how he, like, killed it. And I, like, looked at him. I was like,

• 44:08Speaker 01

  dad, like, you didn't stop the bloody car. And, uh, yeah, no, Jake killed it. And I, and I remember thinking like, oh, if he's gotten through that, like, that's the hard part.

• 44:17Alex Cooper?

  Not your dad being like, you know what? I'm gonna keep it fucking moving.

• 44:21Speaker 01

  I'm gonna keep moving. Let's see how you get in.

• 44:22Alex Cooper?

  Also kind of bawled that Jake was like, instead of just standing there like, wait, stop the car.

• 44:27Speaker 01

  No, no, no. He got in and was like, hey, Mr. Brown. And I was like, oh, my dear God, get me out of this car. Not only have we picked you up from the airport, you're now meeting my father who hasn't stopped the car. And, and you have all your luggage that we now have to get in the car while you're moving. I was like, huh, I'm getting hot. And then we got in the, we, we, he walked in the house and my mum was watching The Impossible, like, the most, the saddest movie of all time, to which my mum is bawling her eyes out. Jake's like, hi, Mrs. Brown. And my, and like, my mum's like, call me Kelly, call me Kelly. And I was like, oh, this is horrific. No, it was really bad. I'm red.

• 45:02Alex Cooper?

  No, I am. Thank you for sharing this because I am like physically crying over here.

• 45:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, I know.

• 45:07Alex Cooper?

  The picture that you're painting is this like beautiful chaos.

• 45:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 45:12Alex Cooper?

  And then the RV trip, and it's like, you're a part of the family.

• 45:14Speaker 01

  Exactly. No, and like, seriously, my parents, like, when he went to bed that night, my parents looked at me and they were like, he is like fantastic. Like, we love him. And I was like, really? After everything you've put him through? Yeah, I think he is great. Are you joking me?

• 45:28Alex Cooper?

  Wait, was it as crazy when you met his family?

• 45:32Speaker 01

  No.

• 45:32Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 45:33Speaker 01

  No, they are so different. They are so like, you know, everything's put together. My fam- we're not watching The Impossible. They did stop the car when they picked me up. Like, it's very different. Um, no, they're just like the sweetest. Like, we had dinner. We talked. Um, I was really nervous to meet them, of course. Like, you don't, you don't, you never know what's gonna happen if they're gonna like me. Um. But yeah, I was just, I'm very like, I try to keep, I don't wanna like, you know, catfish you. So I'm gonna show you who I am, like, from the very beginning, you know? Um, so I am like, I am crazy and nuts and fun, but like, um, yeah, I think they really liked me at the very beginning. And it was like getting to know each other and really like talking out everything.

• 46:17Speaker 01

  And I think they saw how much Jake liked me. So I think, yeah, they got to see that. Whereas my parents like to be in the relationship and they're very much like, let's all go out together. Let's all go on vacation.

• 46:28Alex Cooper?

  You're like, mom?

• 46:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know.

• 46:30Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  But I do love having them around. Like, they are so like, my husband will be like, Mel, like, let's go out to dinner with them. And I'm like, we haven't been out to dinner, you and I. They're like, they're so funny. And they, they get like toothpicks stuck in their teeth at dinner. Like, they're just that, they're just that, they're those people. Yeah, they're those, yeah.

• 46:44Alex Cooper?

  When did you realize, like, okay, I really actually see a future with Jake?

• 46:50Speaker 01

  Hmm. I guess we, we've been together for four years. Um, so I guess maybe like when we moved in together. And I saw, like, we had dogs together and we were taking care of our animals. And we started living this like day to day life. I thought, oh, I really don't think I could ever see you like as anything else. Like, I really want, I don't wanna be with anyone else ever again. I don't wanna date. I don't wanna meet anyone. Like, I want you. And, um, I think when we started talking about politics and how we wanna raise our kids and like, we started talking about really, really bigger things that I've never spoke, obviously never spoken about. And I'm already very young, so I've never spoken about that with like boys anyway.

• 47:29Speaker 01

  But to be able to even think about those things, I was like, shit, like, okay, maybe I do wanna be with you forever. But I obviously didn't know if he felt that way. Like, we talked about marriage, but I didn't know. Really when it was gonna be and then when we, when he proposed, I was like, it makes sense, like everything aligns and like his parents got married really young, they're high school sweethearts. My parents got married really young, um, they got married when they went like, they, well, they met when they were nineteen. So they're just like, they're like love stories. We had just like really young marriages. We had really great, um, role models growing up. So we didn't see any different, we didn't get like jaded by like all the other stuff, you know?

• 48:07Alex Cooper?

  Cause I feel like that's, I'm sure people have asked you like, oh, like, did you ever consider waiting or were you nervous to get married young? But I think when you grow up and you have like a really good example in front of you of something.

• 48:17Speaker 01

  You just don't see anything else.

• 48:18Alex Cooper?

  Exactly.

• 48:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:19Alex Cooper?

  Okay, we're gonna play who's more likely to.

• 48:21Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 48:22Alex Cooper?

  Are you ready?

• 48:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:23Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Who is more likely to plan a surprise date night?

• 48:27Speaker 01

  Out of Jake and I?

• 48:28Alex Cooper?

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:29Speaker 01

  Me.

• 48:30Alex Cooper?

  Really? What's your ideal date night?

• 48:31Speaker 01

  Like I filled like the back of a pickup truck with like duvets and like I got snacks and candles and we like, like, yeah, we like watched TV and we talked and I had little picnic. So like that, that, that stuff is my vibe. Yeah.

• 48:43Alex Cooper?

  Love. Who is more likely to do something embarrassing in public?

• 48:47Speaker 01

  Me.

• 48:47Alex Cooper?

  If you look back, most cringe moment where you're like, do not show me that, whether it's like something we've seen online.

• 48:52Speaker 01

  Do you know what? I

• 48:54Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 48:55Speaker 01

  I'm not embarrassed of anything. I know, I don't get embarrassed.

• 48:58Alex Cooper?

  Love.

• 48:58Speaker 01

  I know it's really, because I don't know if it's like a problem that I really need to see up with my therapist, but like, I really don't get embarrassed. Like I'm like, yeah, that's just who I am. Like my parents, again, if I did like stupid shit like as a kid, my parents would just be like laughing. That's Millie. Like never ever took the sparkle of like out of me. So for me, like, yeah, like I, we were on a road trip and we were in Alabama and it was just me and Jake and our friends. And I needed a wee, so I just hung out of the car and peed like in a swamp in the middle of Alabama. And our friends were like, what the hell? And, and I peed in this cup and I emptied it and then the lid was like a peacup. And then we kept it in the car and we called it the pee lid. And like for the whole trip, we were just like, don't touch the pee lid. And Jake's like, Millie, like you couldn't have like,

• 49:43Speaker 01

  done anything. We could have stopped, you could have waited. I was like, I'm gonna pee in a swamp. I grew up basically peeing in swamps. Like, are you kidding me? Like that's just like on the road trips. Like it's like, you need to pee? Let's go just pee on the side of the road. So like, that's kind of what we, what we did.

• 49:56Alex Cooper?

  I love that about you. And I didn't know that about you. So I'm like, I appreciate you sharing this. Cause it's definitely painting a better picture of like who you are behind all the characters that you play.

• 50:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:05Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay. Who's more likely to spill a secret?

• 50:08Speaker 01

  Me. Jake is like a vault. I am terrible. I I tell people, don't tell me. Don't tell me. I'm gonna tell people.

• 50:14Alex Cooper?

  What is the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself?

• 50:19Speaker 01

  Gosh, um, that I'm, I mean, that maybe I'm pregnant, like, I was, I was caught buying diapers for my lamb. I had like a baby, like lamb in my bed. And I needed diapers for him, so I kept buying diapers for him, but people were taking pictures of me buying diapers and like bottles. And like, I actually tried like pacifiers with him and people were like, Millie Bobby Brown's pregnant. I was like, no, no, it's my lamb. The next week he grew so big, I had to go get adult diapers and then they were really confused. They were like, what the hell is going on here?

• 50:49Alex Cooper?

  Millie?

• 50:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, so that's the weirdest one because I really had a really good excuse for it.

• 50:54Alex Cooper?

  Only you, only you. Okay, who is more likely to apologize first if you guys are like in a little?

• 51:00Speaker 01

  Jake.

• 51:01Alex Cooper?

  Yeah. Who's the more sensitive one?

• 51:03Speaker 01

  Me. I mean, Jake can be sensitive, but it would have to take a lot for him to be like, feel like that, like he takes it like, I am obviously like crazy. So I, for me, I am sensitive when it comes to like, like, I will notice something and I'll be like, you didn't touch my finger. Like when I was sitting on the couch just then, like, you hate me. That's it. Okay, got it. Like, I understand. Okay, but like, you know, like, you know, when you're just like, it's my period and he knows that he's like, you're, you're coming, you're, it's okay, babe. Like, like, he knows, like, I am like a pretty stable part. We go like, I go to therapy, like, I try to like, regulate my emotions. But when I'm on my period, like, no, I see hell.

• 51:40Alex Cooper?

  It's game over.

• 51:41Speaker 01

  It is game over for him and me.

• 51:43Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah, for him specifically.

• 51:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly.

• 51:46Alex Cooper?

  Okay, who is more likely to be the life of the party?

• 51:48Speaker 01

  Me.

• 51:49Alex Cooper?

  Really?

• 51:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, like Jake has more stamina, so Jake can like last the whole night when it comes to partying. I, I am good for a good three hours and then I'm midnight and I'm like, peace out. Like, that's it. Like, cannot, cannot, yeah, it's just really hard. All of our friends, like, they went to college, so they, they can.

• 52:12Alex Cooper?

  You're like, have you ever played beer pong?

• 52:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I'm great at it. I just learned beer die.

• 52:17Alex Cooper?

  What is that?

• 52:19Speaker 01

  Do you know what beer die is? You know what that is. It's impossible. You have to throw basically die, like dice in the air, it lands on the table. You have to catch it. If it lands in the beer, you gotta drink the beer. Like, it's a whole thing, but we just played it and I'm terrible at it. But beer, like beer pong is like great.

• 52:33Alex Cooper?

  You're good.

• 52:34Speaker 01

  I am good at that.

• 52:35Alex Cooper?

  What did you do for your 21st birthday?

• 52:36Speaker 01

  We went to Texan Cakes with all of our friends.

• 52:38Alex Cooper?

  Oh, cute.

• 52:39Speaker 01

  Um, we had just like the best time, went on a boat, hung out, played mermaids. Do you know what a mermaid is?

• 52:44Alex Cooper?

  Wait, is that where you like swim to the bottom of the pool?

• 52:46Speaker 01

  It's like when you just swim in the pool and play like hat, like house, like mums and dads, but as mermaids you pick your color.

• 52:51Alex Cooper?

  We what?

• 52:52Speaker 01

  It's the most pathetic game known to man, but I played it as a child and I said my dream for my 21st is to play it with all my friends. So all my girlfriends and I, we like picked our tail colors and we all basically just found our own homes and shells and we were just like aerial for, yeah, a couple hours.

• 53:06Alex Cooper?

  That's why you're glowing. You're like, I got to play mermaid.

• 53:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, you didn't?

• 53:10Alex Cooper?

  Clearly not. Um, okay. Who is more likely to splurge on a big purchase?

• 53:17Speaker 01

  My husband.

• 53:18Alex Cooper?

  Really? What is he getting?

• 53:20Speaker 01

  Like, he'll just like, if he sees something, like, I'll be like, oh, I need socks. And he'll be like, let's go to Prada. And I'm like, let's go to Target. Like, what? Like, he's just like that kind of guy. Like, he loves to like, he loves to go shopping. And he's, and he will refuse to pack a suitcase because he likes to go shopping in the place we're going. That's what, that's what he does. Whereas I'm like, Amazon Basics. Like, I love that. Like, that I, I never, ever, when I do spend money on something, like, I have to call my parents, I have to think about it. Like, I go back, I, I don't just buy it right away.

• 53:51Alex Cooper?

  Right. You're like praying about it. You're like, I need to see if I need this in like a month and then maybe I'll get it.

• 53:57Speaker 01

  Exactly. And I try to help Jake through that, but he does get, he does get like buyer's guilt. Like, I think so. Like, sometimes I'll be like, no, I shouldn't have fucking done

• 54:04Alex Cooper?

  Well, I'm sure you're like, you didn't need that.

• 54:05Speaker 01

  I'm like, you don't need that, babe. And he's like, I know. Yeah.

• 54:09Alex Cooper?

  Do you remember, like, when you got your, like, first big paychecks, obviously, from Stranger Things? And you're like, wow, like, my life is gonna be different now? Do you remember anything that you purchased where you were like stressed about it, but you were like, I'm gonna do this for myself?

• 54:38Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by T-Mobile. Daddy gang, there are honestly so many reasons to just choose T-Mobile. They've got T-Mobile Tuesdays perks, tons of freebies, travel benefits like hotel and rental car savings. They make your phone plan feel like it's actually giving you something back instead of just being another bill that you have to pay every single month. And if you're a student, T-Mobile has student perks plans designed specifically for you. I remember being in college and constantly, literally just looking for ways to save money, understandably. And so these are the kind of perks I would have absolutely taken advantage of. Students can get things like a $5 movie ticket every month,

• 55:21Alex Cooper?

  exclusive access to concerts, okay? And even streaming benefits, so you can always have a reality TV binge night with your girls. And when you're already paying for your phone every month, getting all of these extra benefits on top of it, just, it makes sense, right? For all the reasons to choose T-Mobile, find yours at tmobile.com/membership. Qualifying plan required, visit tmobile.com. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Stouffer's. Let me tell you something, when I am hungry and I am trying to figure out what to eat, sometimes you can just actually become so, you're angry.

• 56:04Alex Cooper?

  What can I eat? I need something hot and delicious and low maintenance. Well, introducing Stouffer's. Dinners are not only delicious, they're done in a flash.

And you're like, wow, like my life is going to be different now. Do you remember anything that you purchased where you were like stressed about it? But you were like, I'm gonna do this for myself?

• 56:41Speaker 01

  I I bought a pair of Chanel sunglasses and my parents were like, you should buy them. Like you like them. And I was like, what do you mean? Like, because I I really like to be transparent. I grew up with no money, like did not grow up with any money. So like we, we never owned a house like so we I have a bit like I have like a money like thing. Like where I get like, I'm just like very conscious about money. So, um, and my parents like love, like they they say it's important for me to keep that. It's just good to know like about money and, you know, and and not splurge. But I remember buying a house like with my parents and being able to do that. Because for the first time, we were able to actually not be like scared about renting and like the landlords.

• 57:26Speaker 01

  And, you know, like usually like the dog shit on the carpet. And when we have to then hide it from the landlords and all that, you know, we're a crazy family. So we usually always lost the deposit on a rental. So so it was nice to just buy a house and be like, let's paint the walls. Like, you know, it was really nice.

• 57:41Alex Cooper?

  That's so, so sweet.

• 57:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:44Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay, you got married around the same time that I did last year.

• 57:49Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 57:49Alex Cooper?

  I remember like seeing your photos.

• 57:51Speaker 01

  Yes, I remember seeing yours.

• 57:52Alex Cooper?

  No, you looked so stunning.

• 57:54Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 57:55Alex Cooper?

  I am so happy for you and I can just tell.

• 57:58Speaker 01

  I am so happy for you. And I like, I listened to you before you like met Matt. So like, I like, I like, I I felt like, and I'm sure like listeners feel the same way. Just like you going through that love story and seeing you fall in love. And like you were so like, you know, like, like afraid and like to fall in love and like that. And to see you happy just makes my heart so happy.

• 58:16Alex Cooper?

  Sweet. Thank you. I I remember like the first day I told the daddy gang that I had a boyfriend. I was like gonna vomit. I remember calling my mom being like, what if they're mad at me? Like I I'm not doing the single days anymore.

• 58:26Speaker 01

  No.

• 58:26Alex Cooper?

  She was like, I think they're gonna be ready for it, Alex. Like you've given them enough of how to like be single. Now let's show them maybe if you can do a relationship.

• 58:33Speaker 01

  Ample experiences of like that, you know, like, and you have guests that are able to go like talk about that. But like you being in love is so important and like your, you know, your journey is priority.

• 58:42Alex Cooper?

  Thank you. Let's talk about your wedding.

• 58:45Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 58:46Alex Cooper?

  One to 10.

• 58:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 58:47Alex Cooper?

  How bridezilla were you?

• 58:50Speaker 01

  Okay. Hold on. I think that I was good. I didn't stress. I wasn't stressing. I'm just a planner. So like, I'm not like yelling at people or anything. Like, I'm not bridezilla, but like, I knew every second of that schedule, like every second. Like, I apparently, which I don't really remember this because I think I blacked out right before I walked down the aisle, but I apparently like, I knew the second of the song that people would go down the aisle to. So I had a really big wedding party. And I knew that right before I would go, okay, you guys go. And I knew the second that the song would go, right? So I'd go, you guys go, you guys go. Like, I was ready because they were walking down the aisle. And I had forgotten to put my veil on. I'd forgotten

• 59:32Speaker 01

  all. So by the time that everybody went, I went, oh shit. And my dad went, Millie, it's your turn. And I was like, it's my turn. And like, I put my veil on. And I was like, oh my God, now I've got to cue myself. And like, that's like the AD in me, like, to be like, I have to be. So I, and Jake said at the end of the aisle, he saw my arms waving around, trying to like, make sure everything was perfect. Were you like that?

• 59:54Alex Cooper?

  Not at all. And this is so beautiful to hear this. So because, first of all, picturing you back there, you, I already now like getting to know you more. You're like, one, two, three. You're so cued in that you're like, almost like directing.

• 1:00:10Speaker 01

  It's the actor in me. I cannot help it, but like, make sure everything's perfect. And Jake literally like after, um, in our, like, on our honeymoon, Jake was like, you're gonna come, like, you're gonna have a come down. Like, because every single day I'd have meetings and I would like, to the point where like, I had everything engraved, everything thought about. And so, yeah, I think for me, like, after it happened, like, after the wedding, did you have like a really bad kind of come down?

• 1:00:34Alex Cooper?

  I did. I think like, I had it a little different in the sense that like, I wasn't as into the planning. But then, when I got there, it was truly one of the most magical weekends of my life. And like, everything fell into place. It was so perfect. And I hate even saying those words because I was the person on my show being like, don't stress about your wedding. And then I got there and I was like, this is incredible. Like everything you've built with this person and not just this person with your family is coming together.

• 1:01:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:01:04Alex Cooper?

  There's just this like aura around you that is so indescribable.

• 1:01:09Speaker 01

  I know.

• 1:01:09Alex Cooper?

  Because when you go to other people's weddings, not to be a dick, but like you don't really care when you're there. You're like, I'll have a drink. I'll sit here.

• 1:01:14Speaker 01

  I know.

• 1:01:15Alex Cooper?

  The vows are cute. You're crying, but you're not that when it's yours.

• 1:01:18Speaker 01

  No, it's a different.

• 1:01:19Alex Cooper?

  It's a different feeling. So I had the come down of just like, whoa.

• 1:01:22Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:01:23Alex Cooper?

  I wish I could go back and get like be in it even more.

• 1:01:26Speaker 01

  Lightning in a bottle, like the feeling is unmatched. Like I, I will say as much as I did like control every factor of it. I, I enjoyed like, I remember everything about the ceremony, the vows, like I remember the feeling. I remember like not caring, like, you know, um, my guests were stood up for like the most of our ceremony. Cause like, we forgot to sit down. So like, and even that, I'm like, I just don't care. Like, I love it. Like, it's just like, it's just part of it. It's the story you get to tell like, and, and after I let the reins go and I was like, I, I'm whatever happens now is just fun.

• 1:02:01Alex Cooper?

  Don't, didn't you feel that? Once you do the vows and the ceremony?

• 1:02:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:02:04Alex Cooper?

  Done.

• 1:02:05Speaker 01

  First dance, I did get a little bit. Did you do a first dance?

• 1:02:08Alex Cooper?

  Okay. I didn't do a first dance because I was like, I have two left feet. I don't want to do this. So we did a first shot where we got everyone a shot. But wait, what did you dance to?

• 1:02:17Speaker 01

  So we did a six minute choreographed routine.

• 1:02:22Alex Cooper?

  Millie?

• 1:02:22Speaker 01

  I know. This is, this is also my, and I can't believe Jake actually did it. We did, um, a Grease medley. So it started with your, the one that I want. It went into summer nights. It went into, um, we stick together. Like we did, it was, it was a medley of Grease. We dressed as like Sandy and.

• 1:02:40Alex Cooper?

  No, you didn't.

• 1:02:41Speaker 01

  Danny. Yeah. It was, but it was epic. It was like unbelievable. People could not believe what they were hearing. And that was the only thing that I looked at Jake and I was like, if you let me down on this, like we have been practicing for a year and a half. Like, and we, we went to dance lessons, like that. It was very, very strict for me. I've always wanted to do that. I was like, I'm either like gonna do that or I'm gonna dance down the aisle. So it's you choosing. And Jake was like, okay, we'll do the other one. But he loved it. He absolutely loved it.

• 1:03:09Alex Cooper?

  How did it go?

• 1:03:09Speaker 01

  Got into it. Oh, we did not miss one beat like it was and and after, you know, practicing for a year and a half. I thought, wow, and it was, it was really, and I don't regret that one bit like everyone was like, it was like we put on a show and it's like, he also is an actor. So we just loved being able to like do that for everyone and perform.

• 1:03:25Alex Cooper?

  That is so iconic to think of you guys doing that together. I'm like, but that's the beauty of having these moments in weddings where it's like, you have to make it what you want it to be. And you can't go on just Pinterest and actually try to replicate exactly what someone else said because it's like, what have you dreamt of or what do you want? And that moment for you guys, no one's ever going to do that. And if they do, it's because they're copying you. And it's like, that was your original moment.

• 1:03:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:48Alex Cooper?

  Okay. I saw that Bon Jovi didn't perform. Did he at least get like, do you want to do it? Or was he like, no, I don't want to do it?

• 1:03:55Speaker 01

  No, honestly, like he, he um, had so much fun. He definitely danced the night away. Like we had moments where we danced. And Jake's mom is such a dancer, like she, oh yeah, she's like, yeah, she loves it. Like she, so we danced the night away. Honestly, like I am so happy that he was just able to be like the father of like the groom, you know, and I was really happy for that.

• 1:04:18Alex Cooper?

  Okay, wait, what was the most traditional and non-traditional thing you did?

• 1:04:23Speaker 01

  Non-traditional thing, my pet, my, both of my parents walked me down the aisle.

• 1:04:26Alex Cooper?

  Cute.

• 1:04:26Speaker 01

  Um, traditional.

• 1:04:31Speaker 01

  Oh, non-traditional, we slept, we stayed in the same bed the night before. Yeah, I can't.

• 1:04:35Alex Cooper?

  I was like, I can't do this.

• 1:04:36Speaker 01

  I've already anxious enough. Why would I, why would I put myself through that?

• 1:04:39Alex Cooper?

  Imagine being in bed by yourself, like.

• 1:04:40Speaker 01

  Staring at the wall, being like.

• 1:04:41Alex Cooper?

  What are Jake's doing?

• 1:04:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. What are what he's doing? Face timing him? Doing a zoom watch on the TV show? Um, no, I was like, I can't do that. Like we try, we did say we, we might try and then we, we ended up not doing it. And the most traditional, I guess, cut the cake. Like we, did you do a cake?

• 1:04:56Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, like it's very traditional. Like my, I'm planning my older sister's wedding now.

• 1:05:00Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God, you're back at it again already?

• 1:05:03Speaker 01

  I know. I love it. Um, and she's like, I don't want to cut a cake. And I'm like, I keep telling her like Paige, like.

• 1:05:11Speaker 01

  It was one of my favorite parts of my wedding was cutting my cake.

• 1:05:14Alex Cooper?

  Was it really?

• 1:05:15Speaker 01

  I definitely.

• 1:05:15Speaker 01

  Did you feed it to each other and do the whole thing?

• 1:05:17Alex Cooper?

  We did. It was very special and I actually liked it because our moment, we kind of did it on the side. Where when everyone was doing their own thing, we kind of didn't do it in front of people.

• 1:05:25Speaker 01

  Oh, cute.

• 1:05:25Alex Cooper?

  We were by ourselves and I think it was another like touch base moment to just be like private and alone for two seconds because you know, when you're there, it is just balls to the wall.

• 1:05:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:34Alex Cooper?

  Everyone's in and it's so fun, but we tried to find little moments where we're alone and we ended up doing it alone. It was really cute.

• 1:05:38Speaker 01

  Oh, that's lovely.

• 1:05:39Alex Cooper?

  Wait, did you guys write your own vows?

• 1:05:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, mine were like six minutes. Like mine were, people were like, when's it gonna end? I'm an actor. I cannot help it. I had to say everything I felt.

• 1:05:50Alex Cooper?

  You're like, end again.

• 1:05:51Speaker 01

  And I was like, and one more thing.

• 1:05:54Alex Cooper?

  I'm obsessed.

• 1:05:55Speaker 01

  And Ray performed at my wedding and she performed at some more while we were cutting the cake. So I do think it was like, it was a moment like, but I do like, and she performed her music, like Frank Sinatra. It was like beautiful, very Italian.

• 1:06:09Alex Cooper?

  I am so happy for you. Like I just love talking now about weddings.

• 1:06:14Speaker 01

  Yes, me too.

• 1:06:15Alex Cooper?

  I saw your pictures. You guys look so happy. It's so fun to just like talk about all the girly things.

• 1:06:21Speaker 01

  I know.

• 1:06:22Alex Cooper?

  Um, we're here because you have a new movie. First of all, just congratulations.

• 1:06:26Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 1:06:27Alex Cooper?

  Obviously, the Electric State. Can you tell me just like about the process, why you loved this project? Like what was it about this that you were like, I need to be a part of this and I want to be a part of it?

• 1:06:36Speaker 01

  Well, the directors, the Russo brothers, I had met them when I was young. They came on to Stranger Things. Like they are obviously legendary directors and I already work with brothers on Stranger Things, the Deppa brothers. So, and they're twins, but the Russo's are just brothers, but it was really interesting because we got to see those, like they are very similar in the way that they work. Um, and they came on to watch Stranger Things and then I actually was, I, I went on to Avengers to watch them film Endgame. Yeah, film Endgame and I sat next to them, watched them direct and I remember thinking to myself, my dream is to work with them. So when they brought me this project, honestly, it couldn't have, it could have been anything, I would have taken it. But the fact that it was Electric State just made it all the better.

• 1:07:17Speaker 01

  Like, it was the most original concept I have ever, ever heard of. It was nineties themed, futuristic, such a beautiful messaging behind technology versus reality. And the character, I had never played anyone like her before. And I just thought like, you know, this, this is fantastic. And then when I heard that Chris Pratt was obviously gonna work alongside me, I just, I have heard such amazing things about working with him. And I thought like, you know, that's a huge factor of like, you know, who am I gonna work with for the next four, five months? Like, and, and what kind of energy are they gonna bring every day? And let me tell you, that man brought the best energy, never had, never had a bad day. And I'm like, I will tell, like, he never had a bad day.

• 1:08:01Speaker 01

  He came to set, made everyone smile, made everyone feel important, like knows everyone's name, like just like a pro, like an, like an expert at his craft.

• 1:08:09Alex Cooper?

  That is so nice because I feel like every time in this industry, you're like waiting to meet someone.

• 1:08:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:08:15Alex Cooper?

  And you're like, I hope.

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  Have you ever met someone where you go?

• 1:08:18Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 1:08:19Speaker 01

  Wow, it's such a letdown, isn't it? I know.

• 1:08:21Alex Cooper?

  Cause you're so hopeful and then there, sometimes it's the ones where you're like, wait, I didn't expect this.

• 1:08:27Speaker 01

  Have, just tell me, have, have they been on the show?

• 1:08:29Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 1:08:29Speaker 01

  Oh, okay. And that's all I wanna know.

• 1:08:32Alex Cooper?

  You're like, thank you, I'm gonna go back and listen. No, but that's really good to know that you had a good vibe.

• 1:08:38Speaker 01

  Oh my god, no, it's wonderful, it's such a great experience.

• 1:08:40Alex Cooper?

  You tend to now, like, I feel like play these really adventurous hero characters.

• 1:08:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:08:46Alex Cooper?

  Why do you think you've been gravitating towards that in your career?

• 1:08:49Speaker 01

  I think there's enough, like, men heroes out there. Like, I feel like we've seen enough, like, do you know what I mean? Like, I love that for them, love that for them. But I feel like we need young girls to be able to see heroes as females and to be able to feel like, you know, we're able to save the world too. And it's a bigger messaging on girls being able to be decision makers, be in politics, you know, change the world for the better. So why not see heroes on screen that they can resonate with? Of course, like, I wanna branch out and, and work on different things. But for me, there is like, there is a must in that if a young girl is watching, how will she feel watching this? Will she feel empowered? Will she, like, will she feel like she can kind of?

• 1:09:31Speaker 01

  Move forward in in a really inspired way. And so for me, like, yeah, everything I've done thus far feels that and Electric State definitely feels that.

• 1:09:41Alex Cooper?

  I like love hearing you say that because I think sometimes it's lost on people when actors take roles, they must sometimes just be like, oh, the paycheck was right or the cast was there. And the fact that you were like intentionally seeking out moments in your career and recognizing like, oh, this is like an opportunity for like a greater conversation.

• 1:10:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:03Alex Cooper?

  I feel like people do look at you like that, Millie, where people are like, wow, you have such a presence on screen.

• 1:10:09Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 1:10:10Alex Cooper?

  But then the undertones of the characters you're playing have such a presence for women, which is like not easy to do.

• 1:10:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:16Alex Cooper?

  So thank you for just like picking these great characters.

• 1:10:19Speaker 01

  Thank you so much.

• 1:10:20Alex Cooper?

  Okay, who is your ultimate moving forward in life? Who's your ultimate dream co-star?

• 1:10:26Speaker 01

  Margot Robbie.

• 1:10:27Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God. Can you imagine?

• 1:10:30Speaker 01

  I would just love to work with her.

• 1:10:32Alex Cooper?

  I'm ready to buy the ticket.

• 1:10:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, I would love to work with her. I think she's just like, she's a pro, like she and she too just feels like she made me like she like when I watch her, I feel inspired. Cause I feel like she's like, she leads her movies with, you know, drive with this sense of like being feeling like a badass and like, yeah, she works alongside men, but I can't keep my eyes off of her. So I think that's like, you know, that's huge. I would love to work with her. Obviously, like, you know, Meryl Streep, like, you know, I that would be.

• 1:11:02Alex Cooper?

  Have you met Margot?

• 1:11:04Speaker 01

  I have never met Margot. I've met Meryl Streep, which was also like blacked out, you know.

• 1:11:09Alex Cooper?

  I when I met Margot, I was like, you're even better in person.

• 1:11:14Speaker 01

  Really?

• 1:11:15Alex Cooper?

  She's the most normal, down to earth, cool, like everything about her. I was like, oh, my God.

• 1:11:22Speaker 01

  I love.

• 1:11:23Alex Cooper?

  Even better.

• 1:11:24Speaker 01

  I know.

• 1:11:24Alex Cooper?

  So whenever you meet her, you're gonna just be like.

• 1:11:26Speaker 01

  Alex told me about you.

• 1:11:29Alex Cooper?

  And whenever I meet Meryl, I'll be like, Millie told me.

• 1:11:33Speaker 01

  When she was 13.

• 1:11:34Alex Cooper?

  You know.

• 1:11:36Alex Cooper?

  Okay, last question.

• 1:11:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:38Alex Cooper?

  What do you wish more people knew about you?

• 1:11:41Speaker 01

  I guess, um, I think that the press.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  They do like they love to go in on me sometimes with certain things like, you know, I know that obviously people say that I look a lot older, like, you know, that's like a thing that I get a lot is like, oh my God, she looks like forty. And I'm like, well, yeah, you did meet me when I was ten. So I understand now I'm twenty one. It's been ten years. She grows. Um, my face like grew, you know, I don't know. What do you want me to do about that? Um, that and like my accent thing and like, you know, I think people like to pick on certain things that I say and do. And I think, you know, obviously I don't want that for any person growing up in the industry, but it really actually doesn't bother me like, and I,

• 1:12:27Speaker 01

  I wish I could be like, you know what? It does get to me like it used to get to me. It did. I grew up feeling really, really, um,

• 1:12:35Speaker 01

  I was, I got, it got to me and I remember trying to change myself to please the masses. And actually now I'm in a place where like, yeah, like my accent does change. My face does grow. I do wear a lot of makeup. Like it's just the kind of person I'm, I like that. Like it's fun for me. And like, you're not going to tell me how to be a girl. Like you're not going to tell me how to be a woman. Like that is not, that is not the world I live in. It could be the world you live in. It's just not the world I've built for myself. So I think like, yeah, I think that's what people don't know about me in terms of like, what they say in the outside noise really doesn't faze me.

• 1:13:10Alex Cooper?

  I appreciate you sharing that though, because it does humanize you even more of like, I think sometimes people just really don't understand the actual level of scrutiny that women go through compared to men. And it's just like an obvious of like, even I'm sure some of your co-stars, like I have other men in the industry that like I'm compared to. And I'm like, they've never experienced certain things that like, it's just a different level, especially like, you're right. We literally met you on screen when you were ten years old. I think there's like a hyper fixation on you, but as a human being, as a young woman, like it's so much pressure. And I'm so happy that yes, you're saying like you've gotten to a point where it doesn't affect you, but it still doesn't mean it should happen.

• 1:13:50Speaker 01

  No, absolutely. It should never be okay. I feel like, you know, when that stuff comes out about me or about other women and other young girls in the industry. I just, I, I'm disgusted. Like I can't believe it still happens. And if I can do anything to change it, like I would, like if I, I always say like, if I had a genie wish, like I really would wish that no one ever had to go through that kind of scrutiny because it is. It changes the kind of person you like are like it changes the way you perceive the world and like you see the bad in everyone. You don't see the good. You're like, what are your intentions? What are you going to say about me? And I think the press just need to be taught manners again. And I think like they need to go back to school and learn how to speak to people,

• 1:14:31Speaker 01

  be kind and um, and just understand that we're, you know, we're all growing people. We all make mistakes and ultimately like the standards and stigma, like stigmatism or the stigmas against um, girls, um, it's ridiculous, especially I feel in Hollywood, just like I've seen it a lot, you know, in the world, but in Hollywood, I see it with young, young actors and it's just, it's, it can jade you and it can make you so different. And I hope no one ever has to go through

• 1:14:59Alex Cooper?

  that. No, I know, like we're, we've now like, obviously we're at time, but I just wanted to say like, yes, yes, yes. Like we could do a whole fucking episode about that together at one point in our careers of just like, it's wild. So I thank you though, for like coming and speaking today with me because this was so fun. You're, you are so fun. I'm thinking about like Jake has to now listen to this in bed. Would you ever watch this back or no? Are you going to be like, don't show me what I said?

• 1:15:26Speaker 01

  I actually, I actually think I will because I, I want, I, yeah, it's so fun. And I want Jake, I want to watch Jake listen to the stories I've told.

• 1:15:34Alex Cooper?

  They're good. That was tea.

• 1:15:35Speaker 01

  It was tea.

• 1:15:36Alex Cooper?

  Thank you so much for coming on.

• 1:15:37Speaker 01

  Thank you so much. Thank you.
