Millie Bobby Brown: ‘I don’t underestimate myself any more’

A lot has changed in the seven years since Millie Bobby Brown first played Enola Holmes, the swashbuckling little sister of Sherlock, his equal in both sleuthing and pontificating. For one thing, Brown is no longer the child star telekinetic of Stranger Things; she is 22 now – a mother, a wife, and a producer, in addition to her continued work as one of the world’s most recognisable actors. So, if she were to give her 15-year-old self a piece of advice? “Oh, there’s so much!” Brown exclaims, taking a beat before landing on one very simple directive: “Don’t go online. Just don’t do it.”

Luckily, the internet and online trolls are not things her Victorian-era protagonist has to deal with; Enola’s bag is more murder and good ol’ fashioned skulduggery. Out on Netflix now, Enola Holmes 3 finds the brainy and brilliant Enola preparing to marry her foppish longtime beau Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) in a seaside ceremony in Malta. The wedding bells fall silent, however, when the bride-to-be discovers her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) has been kidnapped. Gasp!
