For Millie Bobby Brown, 'everything' is about her daughter while choosing roles
Los Angeles, July 6
Hollywood actress Millie Bobby Brown has spoken up on how motherhood has impacted her career. The actress, 22, welcomed her first child with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, through adoption in the summer of 2025.
She recently spoke candidly about wanting to play characters that will inspire her daughter, reports 'People' magazine.
Millie Bobby Brown stars as the titular amateur detective (and younger sister of Henry Cavill's Sherlock Holmes) in 'Enola Holmes 3' alongside Louis Partridge as love interest Lord Tewkesbury.
As per' Female First UK', she acknowledged that Enola Holmes is a character children might look up to, while also expressing her hope that her roles will be a positive influence on her own daughter.
She told Access Hollywood, "I definitely feel now, becoming a mom, everything is about her and bringing that to life. I'm doing it for her, but I'm not going to expect that she's going to want to see mom and want to be like mom".
She further mentioned, "On the screen, however, I want to bring more females to the screen, so if that inspires more filmmakers or young actresses to get to the screen and be that for my daughter, that would be amazing".
In 'Enola Holmes 3', Enola seems to be getting her happy ending by marrying Lord Tewkesbury, but the plan is disrupted by news that Sherlock has been kidnapped.
The synopsis reads, "Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide on a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before".
The actress also revealed that Hannah Montana was a "hero" throughout her own childhood. The Disney series focused on a teenage girl living a double life as a singer.
"I thought it was crazy. She lived the best of both worlds. That's a hero. And in so many ways now, I feel my whole life is about being Hannah Montana in a way", she added.

I appreciate her honesty about wanting to inspire her daughter through her roles, but isn't 22 a bit too young to adopt and be so focused on motherhood? As an Indian, I wonder if she's rushing into responsibilities. Still, her dedication to projecting strong female characters is commendable—Enola Holmes is a great franchise for that.
Millie Bobby Brown is literally living the dream! From Stranger Things to being a young mom and now doing Enola Holmes 3—what a journey. Her comparison to Hannah Montana is hilarious but so relatable. For Indian audiences, we need more such inspiring stories of young women breaking stereotypes. Can't wait for the next movie! 🎬
It's refreshing to see a Hollywood star talk about family values this way. In India, we place so much emphasis on motherhood and raising kids with good influences, so this really resonates. Millie wanting to bring more women to the screen is a powerful message—we need that across all cultures. Kudos to her for setting an example!
Millie saying 'everything is about her daughter' while choosing roles—that's a big responsibility. I respect that she doesn't want to force her child to follow her footsteps. As an Indian, I see many parents pushing their kids into careers, but she's taking a balanced approach. Enola Holmes is perfect for inspiring young minds, especially with sibling dynamics like in Indian families.
Okay, but can we talk about the Enola Holmes 3 plot? Sherlock kidnapped? That sounds like a desi drama serial twist!
