Many actors in the industry do not watch themselves on the screen to prevent being self-critical and negatively affecting their future performances. However, the reason for Millie Bobby Brown is different. Not just her own movies, she does not like to watch movies in general because she reportedly has a low attention span. As per The Sun, whenever someone suggests a film to the Enola Holmes actress, the first question she asks is “How long do I have to sit there for?

Brown further added, “Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my own movies”. The British actor confessed that she often catches herself multitasking while watching a movie. When she is watching something, she either ends up munching too much, or she has to be doing something like baking, grooming a dog, or on her computer. Although Brown typically does not give her full attention to movies, there was one exception for her.
