Millie Brady

What book/ movie/ TV show do you think you’ve recommended more than any other? Philomena, The Help and Big Little Lies probably are my most recent big 3 for recommendations. What are you happy that happened while you were alive and at an age where you could/ can understand and remember? Being taught to read is a personal memory that’s so important to me and one I remember vividly. On a wider scale, I’m happy to have been able to witness the outcry from women across the world for equal rights and see everyone come together for the Women’s Marches.…

Is there anything you’ve been happy or nonplussed to lose or miss out on? I did one of those 1 week intensive driving courses and didn’t pass my test. In hindsight I think its a good thing, I was nowhere near ready. I shouldn’t be allowed in charge of a moving vehicle. If you could commission any painter in sculptor in history for a project, who would you pick and what would you have them render? I’d love to have my portrait done like those great oil paintings of formidable looking women that hang in National Trust properties. I’d like…

What’s your favorite film character entrance or introduction of all time? The goat is gone, the glass of water is shaking, the kids are panicking, Jeff Goldblum is being Jeff Goldblum and the idiotic lawyer p**s off to the bathroom (“When you gotta go you gotta go”), only to be devoured moments later – trousers around his ankles – by the glorious T-Rex. What an entrance. In fact, that toilet scene in Jurassic Park inspired me to write a song when I was ten called Man on the Bog; a tragic retelling of this story as seen from the T-Rex’s…

What was the most interesting location you filmed at for Gap Year? It’s hard to pick just one place, because everywhere we shot was different, but I really did love Kathmandu. It was just a completely bonkers place with everything happening at a million miles per hour. Buildings being rebuilt, motorbikes and cars everywhere. Also just the people were so lovely and positive. It really felt like a properly old place filled with a lot of history. Out of your favorite films, which do you think would be the best and worst choice to screen for a date? One of…

Do you still consider a particular place ‘home’? To be honest no, I travel so much so it’s rare for me to be in one place for more than a couple of weeks. I split my time between London and Paris and I love both cities for different reasons, but I find it hard to stay in one place for too long. I think the place I feel most at home is with my family, that’s where you can truly relax and feel safe and I guess that’s the definition of ‘home’. If you could send a 2 x 2…

Describe one of your favorite actors without naming a character or a film. Vincent Cassel. I think I could watch him hoovering his house and I would find it fascinating. What is something you’d like learn how to build, if time, difficulty and resources were no longer obstacles? A giant badass pirate ship I could sail around the world on with my friends. Would you rather have the ability to make your clothes feel like they are always fresh from the dryer or your bedsheets? Clothes. I cycle most places so I usually turn up looking like a bit of…

You recently appeared in the newest series of Sherlock. If you could have possessed Sherlock’s powers of logic/ detection for one day of your life, when would you have called upon it? I had just come back to the UK from being on an 8 month tour of a play. I was still stuck in that monotonous routine; my comfort blanket, which meant my performance ability had become a little ‘rusty’. My first audition back was a workshop for a very high-profile physical theatre company. Upon entering the audition room I wish my logic/ detection kicked in at that very…
