Millie Bobby Brown is revealing the impact motherhood has had on her career.
The actress, 22, welcomed her first child with her husband, Jack Bongiovi, via adoption in the summer of 2025. In an interview with Access Hollywood about her role in Enola Holmes 3, she spoke candidly about wanting to play characters that will inspire her daughter.
Brown stars as the titular amateur detective (and younger sister of Henry Cavill's Sherlock Holmes) in the Netflix franchise, alongside Louis Partridge as love interest Lord Tewkesbury. 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.
“I definitely feel now, becoming a mom, everything is about her and bringing that to life,” Brown told Access Hollywood in an interview released on July 4. “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.”
Brown continued, “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.”
