More than anything, Enola Holmes is about self-realization and self-acceptance. It teaches us to find our inner fire and cultivate it, and believe in ourselves as an individual. It is a fun, vibrant, personality-rich adventure soaked in themes of womanhood, self-discovery, and finding your way in the world. And as a cherry on top, the movie stars Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes and Millie Bobby Brown as the titular Enola Holmes. Seemingly, the world’s second most handsome actor just could not stop singing the praises of the very talented British actress.

Brown’s performance in the movie comes as a revelation even to her Stranger Things fans. She emerges as the clear winner of the film as she embodies everything her character needs to be: a shrewd girl with perfect comic timing and a witty lead. And it seems like the actress even flattered The Witcher‘s kingpin with her incredible performance. If you are a big fan of either of the British actors, allow us to take you back in time when Henry Cavill made it clear to the world that he was just mesmerized by Millie’s charismatic personality.

Henry Cavill finds Millie Bobby Brown extraordinary

Although “still a rather eccentric, odd, weird, aloof genius detective to the external world. But his relationship with Enola is very unique,” Cavill says in an interview before eulogizing his on-screen sister Millie Bobby Brown. When asked to describe the power of Millie in two words the actor just exhales, “wow.” He then wittily says wow is one of them, before describing how incredible she is.

“She is both a sixteen-year-old and a 35-year-old at the same time,” Cavill says about Brown. “And she flip-flops between the two at her whim.” He then says her charisma confuses him sometimes because, at one moment, she might be talking about a very important and emotionally invested scene. Then she would abruptly talk about reality shows or try to convince him to dance on a ticktock video.
