Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge put their lives on the map. From Louis’ solo trip to Thailand, where he spent a week working as a fisherman’s assistant, to Millie’s sprawling Georgia farm—home to not just her family but hundreds of rescued animals—the 'Enola Holmes 3' costars revisit the places that have shaped them most.

Along the way, Millie reflects on being recognized for the first time as "the girl from 'Stranger Things,'" recalls meeting her childhood idol Zendaya in Vancouver, explains the origins of her Southern-accented alter ego “Taylor,” and pitches a Maldives getaway with costar Noah Schnapp. Louis revisits London’s legendary skate spots, shares memories of filming in Tuscany alongside George Clooney and Adam Sandler, and hints at the unexpected way he met Jake Gyllenhaal in Milan. Funny, candid, and full of unexpected detours, the pair map out the memories, obsessions, and chance encounters that have stuck with them most.

00:00Do you remember exactly where you were first recognized in public?
00:03I know exactly where it was.
00:04Me too.
00:04Do you?
00:05But it must have been long ago for you.
00:07The first time I was recognized was in Palm Springs.
00:10Oh my god, are you that girl from Stranger Things?
00:15Hi everyone.
00:16I'm Millie Bobby Brown.
00:18And I'm Louis Partridge.
00:19And today we're diving into our most meaningful places.
00:22And no less felt backwards as alone.
00:23What's a place you've traveled to alone
00:25and what did that experience reveal about you
00:27that you may not have discovered otherwise?
00:29I don't travel alone because that wouldn't be safe.
00:31I have been on like a flight on my own before.
00:35To Italy.
00:36We went to Morocco together.
00:37Yeah, but I wasn't on my own. I was with you.
00:39That's true.
00:40But I went to Thailand once on my own
00:42and I met a lovely fisherman.
00:44A really nice guy.
00:45I believe it was down here by Lancawi.
00:47And for a week I was his assistant.
00:49Cool.
00:49And he would take families out
00:50and I would swim behind him and catch some fish.
00:53And then his wife would cook them in the evening
00:54and we'd have dinner together.
00:56Skateboarding has been a huge part of your life.
00:58It's true.
00:59What's one skate spot in London
01:00or anywhere in the world
01:01that has a kind of legendary status for you?
01:05I first fell in love with skating
01:07when I saw this Adonis-like figure
01:09wearing sort of dark brown dickies.
01:12He had his shirt off.
01:13He had long flowing hair.
01:14I must have been about 13.
01:16And he was just cruising around
01:17Santa Barbara Skate Park
01:18and it just looked so effortless,
01:20like he was floating.
01:21And I thought that looks really, really cool.
01:23For the next five years,
01:24it was a bit of an obsession.
01:26So I'm going to go Santa Barbara over here.
01:28But London is full of legendary spots.
01:30South Bank is the classic.
01:32And there's a set of seven stairs.
01:34It's called the South Bank Seven.
01:35And I made it my goal
01:37to ollie down the South Bank Seven.
01:39And I did it and I have it on video.
01:44Fans love your talent
01:45for picking up voices and accents.
01:47What's one city
01:47where the local accent
01:48was so memorable
01:49that you caught yourself
01:50naturally slipping into it
01:51for the rest of the trip.
01:52I lived in Australia
01:53for a couple months.
01:54Why is that?
01:55I did a film there.
01:57And I lived in Brisbane.
02:00Breezy.
02:01And naturally, sometimes
02:02I just go in and out of the accent.
02:04Are you someone who picks up accents?
02:07Yeah, like you do too.
02:08You're really good.
02:09But I see you do things
02:10that I can't do.
02:11I think I do things
02:11that you can't do.
02:12You're really good at a Scottish accent.
02:14You're really good
02:14at an Irish accent.
02:15All those in favour
02:17of adopting the Irish harp
02:19as the Guinness trademark
02:23say bye.
02:24I'm a good Northern accent
02:26but you're really good
02:27at a scouse.
02:28I can't really do that well.
02:30Whereas you could do
02:31because you spend a lot of time
02:32in Georgia
02:32you could do a Southern
02:33I imagine.
02:34Yeah, I can do a Southern.
02:35I have an alter ego
02:36called Taylor
02:37and she's Southern
02:39and she comes out
02:41when people are like
02:41are you Millie Mae Brown?
02:42I'm like no, I'm Taylor.
02:44Your accent exists
02:45on a sliding scale
02:46somewhere between here
02:47at any given point.
02:48My general accent
02:49when I'm with Louis
02:50I'm immediately British
02:51but when I'm with everyone else
02:53I'm American.
02:53For me, I speak
02:54in the very back of my throat.
02:55I think I have
02:56a deeper voice for a girl
02:57and then the Australian accent
02:59is just right in the middle
03:00and then the American accent
03:02is all in the mouth.
03:03So that's how I kind of
03:04In the front?
03:05Right in the front.
03:06Everything is just
03:06very easy to come out.
03:08That's good to know.
03:09Do you remember exactly
03:10where you were first
03:11recognised in public?
03:12Where were you exactly?
03:14The first time I was recognised
03:15was in Palm Springs.
03:17Hey.
03:18So I would say
03:19I don't even know.
03:20I'm going to go there
03:21right in the middle
03:22between Vegas and LA.
03:23I think I had been recognised before
03:24but not, you know
03:26like for real, for real.
03:28Oh my God
03:29are you that girl
03:30from Stranger Things?
03:33I get...
03:33Do you know the girl
03:34from Stranger Things?
03:35No you don't.
03:36Oh my God, stop.
03:38I'd be like...
03:38I mean I do actually
03:39a little bit.
03:40The first place I got recognised
03:41was in Victoria Station
03:42in London
03:42the day that
03:44Enola Holmes came out.
03:45Wow.
03:45And it was in the train station
03:47and I was on the way somewhere.
03:48I stopped,
03:49took a photograph
03:50and left.
03:51I was like wow.
03:51That's cool.
03:52That was quite quick.
03:53It was a nice encounter.
03:55If you had one
03:55long perfect weekend
03:56with your closest
03:57Stranger Things
03:57classmates
03:58where would it be
03:58and what would the vibe
03:59of the trip look like?
04:00I've never been on a trip
04:01with any of them
04:02so I wouldn't actually know.
04:04You like a bit
04:05of Maldives action.
04:06Oh I do like the Maldives
04:07but I don't think they would
04:08but guess what?
04:09It's about me.
04:10Noah and I would
04:11shake some ass
04:11in the Maldives.
04:14While filming J. Kelly
04:15you mentioned
04:15that George Clooney
04:16and Adam Sandler
04:17stood by watching
04:18and were really
04:19complimentary afterwards.
04:21Did I say that?
04:22I must have actually said this.
04:22Louis was that a truth?
04:26And George came up to me
04:28and put his hand
04:29on my shoulder
04:30like that
04:30and he said
04:31that was great.
04:32Why don't you say
04:33say true?
04:34It was a lie.
04:35It was a lie.
04:37Louis.
04:37They weren't negative
04:38but I didn't get a...
04:39They weren't like
04:40oh my god
04:41that scene was terrible.
04:43No but that's kind of crazy.
04:44That's actually crazy.
04:45I wouldn't have said
04:46they were complimentary
04:46they were nice
04:47but wow.
04:48Is there a particular place
04:49that you feel connected to
04:49because it brings you
04:50back to that moment?
04:51You know what I'm going to say
04:52I have always
04:53always filmed in Italy
04:54it's like a really weird thing
04:55that I have filmed
04:56about four projects
04:57in Tuscany
04:58and as places go
04:59I think it has to be
05:00one of my favourite places
05:01in the world.
05:02I did a few days
05:03for J. Kelly in Tuscany
05:04I filmed a show called
05:05Disclaimer
05:05in Forte du Mami Tuscany
05:07I filmed a show called
05:08Medici Masters of Florence
05:09all around little towns
05:10in Tuscany
05:11I've never filmed
05:12in Italy.
05:13Oh it's great.
05:14Long lunches
05:15like a two hour long lunch
05:17No way.
05:17Prosciutto
05:18like everything you can imagine
05:19the food is good.
05:21You've said Georgia
05:21is where you feel most at home
05:22was there a specific spot
05:23in Atlanta
05:24where you and Jake
05:24realised this was
05:25the place to raise your daughter?
05:26Georgia?
05:27Like just our house
05:28I guess.
05:29Yeah it's really the home
05:30that you build
05:31that's important.
05:32It wasn't really even a question
05:33it's like the place
05:34I feel so safe
05:36and with my animals
05:37yeah
05:38it's where I grew up
05:39and it's where I want
05:40our family to grow up.
05:42You like the space?
05:43The space
05:43but my animals
05:44they've literally
05:45made their home there
05:46like my pigs
05:46have their spot
05:47my goats have their spot
05:49That's cute.
05:50Yeah
05:50everybody's happy
05:51so I'm gonna say
05:52ecosystem
05:53Georgia.
05:54What's a place
05:54and experience
05:55where you completely
05:56fanned out
05:57and what is it
05:58about that moment
05:58that's stayed with you
05:59ever since
05:59does fanned out
06:00mean like fangirl?
06:02Yeah
06:02like I don't really
06:03fangirl very often
06:04I'm trying to think
06:05Oh
06:06Vancouver
06:06where's Vancouver?
06:08She'll be here
06:08yeah
06:09Who did you meet
06:10in Vancouver?
06:10Zendaya
06:12I was like
06:12eight years old
06:13and I loved
06:14Shake It Up
06:15Shake It Up
06:16Everybody
06:18Everybody
06:18Get down
06:19on the floor
06:20I saw her
06:21in a hotel
06:23and I went up to her
06:24and I asked for a picture
06:25and she gave me a picture
06:27and she was so nice
06:28I feel like
06:28she was like
06:29a really big role model
06:31for me growing up
06:31How many people
06:32have you asked for photos?
06:34Because obviously
06:34you're someone who gets asked
06:35but how often do you
06:36go up to someone?
06:37Never
06:37For family members
06:38and for other people
06:40I do
06:40Oh would you mind
06:41taking a picture
06:42with my mum
06:42or my da da da
06:43but it just makes me
06:45feel really uncomfortable
06:46because I don't want
06:47to put anyone
06:48in an awkward position
06:49but there have been
06:50plenty of moments
06:51where I
06:51here's the thing
06:52where I want to have
06:53a conversation with someone
06:54but my urge
06:55is never to take a picture
06:56I think once you've taken the photo
06:58I wonder how much
06:58you're getting out of it
06:59Yeah
06:59Other than maybe to show
07:01one or two people
07:01Yeah
07:02I met Jake Gyllenhaal
07:03in a sauna in Milan
07:04and that is all I will say
07:06on the matter
07:06Next question
07:07What neighbourhood
07:08anywhere in the world
07:09has your favourite energy
07:10and why?
07:11Mexico City
07:12Really?
07:13I've never ever been
07:14It's great restaurants
07:16really good food
07:17really great vibe
07:18great vintage stores
07:20Mexico City for me
07:21Do you feel safe there
07:22in terms of getting
07:23fanned out
07:24or whatever the phrase
07:24Yeah I do think
07:25like I have a lot
07:26of South American
07:27It's a real thing
07:29isn't it?
07:29Brazil
07:29A lot of really
07:31some of my best fans
07:32out there
07:33so I definitely feel
07:34like the passion is there
07:35which is probably
07:36why I love it so much
07:37If we're continuing
07:37on the South American theme
07:38I had an amazing time
07:41in Rio
07:42De Janeiro
07:43I went during carnival
07:44but it was COVID
07:45and so there was no carnival
07:47and so I think
07:48I sat on the beach
07:49eating Pringles
07:49when I should have been
07:50shaking it up
07:51but I adored Rio
07:53I think it looks like
07:54we've got a pretty heavy
07:54carbon footprint
07:55I guess lucky
07:56to have seen
07:57this many places
07:58Yeah really lucky
07:58I think some of the best
07:59education is travel
08:00I feel like I have
08:02in my heart
08:02like a lot of love
08:03and respect
08:03for different cultures
08:05and places
08:05because I travelled
08:07so much as a child
08:07And lastly
08:09I'm going to say
08:10why don't we put a pin
08:11somewhere that we
08:12haven't been
