Millie Bobby Brown, the talented 21-year-old actress known for her role in Stranger Things, recently revealed her dream co-star during a lively appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. On March 24, 2025, she named Margot Robbie, star of Barbie, as her "ultimate dream co-star," expressing her admiration for the Australian actress with heartfelt enthusiasm.
During a quick-fire question segment on the podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, Brown did not hesitate in her response when asked whom she would love to work with in the future. "I would just love to work with her. She's a pro," Brown effused, noting how Robbie manages to stand out even when working alongside male actors. "She works alongside men but I can't keep my eyes off of her. That’s huge. I’d love to work with her," Brown stated, a testament to Robbie’s captivating presence in the industry.
Though the two have yet to meet in person, Brown explained the inspiration she draws from watching Robbie on screen. "When I watch her, I feel inspired, 'cause I feel like she leads her movies with drive, with this sense of feeling like a badass," she shared. This admiration not only reflects Brown's interest in working alongside Robbie but also highlights the influence that strong female performers have on younger actresses.
In addition to Robbie, Brown named another iconic actress she dreams of collaborating with: Meryl Streep. Recalling her first encounter with the legendary star at the age of 13, Brown shared that she was so overcome that she "blacked out" when meeting Streep. It’s clear that Streep’s legacy and talent have left a significant mark on Brown, inspiring her own aspirations in the industry.
Aside from her dream collaborations, Brown has been keeping busy with her latest project, The Electric State, in which she stars alongside Chris Pratt. The sci-fi action-adventure film centers on her character, an orphaned teen on a quest to find her long-lost brother, and has allowed her to work with renowned directors Joe and Anthony Russo. Brown joined The Electric State partly because of the buzz surrounding Pratt, who she said has brought a positive aura to the film set.
"He brought the best energy to the set and never had a bad day," Brown praised Pratt, adding how his positivity made everyone feel valued. "He makes everyone smile and feel important," she noted, illustrating how collaboration with a supportive fellow actor can enhance the production experience.
Despite the mixed reviews for The Electric State (with Digital Spy giving it two stars for being yet another forgettable blockbuster), Brown's enthusiasm for her performance and the overall production remains undiminished. The film is currently streaming on Netflix, allowing fans to witness her latest work.
As a prominent figure in Hollywood, Brown also continues to captivate audiences with her role in Stranger Things, which has gained a massive following since its debut. With Season 5 in production and with Stranger Things: The First Shadow now booking performances until February 2025 at the Phoenix Theatre in London, her career trajectory seems to be ascending rapidly.
With her dreams of working with such acclaimed actresses as Margot Robbie and Meryl Streep, there’s no doubt that Millie Bobby Brown is carving out her place in the entertainment industry while continuing to inspire and attract attention with every project she takes on.
