Millie Bobby Brown admits she doesn't watch any of her own movies
Film star Millie Bobby Brown will not watch films she has starred in.
The Stranger Things actor, 20, has been out promoting her new movie, which has soared into Netflix's top 10 films in the UK.
Damsel sees Brown play a princess who is meant to be married off to the prince of another kingdom.
However, this turns out to be a trap and she's now got to survive being attacked by a dragon.

Some viewers have liked the film so much that they've already watched it multiple times.
A few have even said that the film's ending is what Game of Thrones ought to have been.
Despite the positive fan reaction, it seems Brown won't be watching the film herself.
“I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change your life’," she said in an interview with The Sun.
“And I’m like, ‘How long do I have to sit there for?’ Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my own movies.”
When it comes to her fiancé Jake Bongiovi, 21, the son of Jon Bon Jovi, the actor insists that it's a completely different story.
“My fiancé is the biggest movie buff," she said.
“He just sits and watches movies all day. And I cannot do that.
“That is the one thing I can’t sit down and do.
“But I really love Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, I love Mad Max. So I feel like I’m always channelling that inner bad-ass.”
The British actor admits that she often finds herself multitasking while watching a film, adding: “I just have to be doing something.
“So I either eat too much, because I’m just bored. Or I have to be doing something — baking, grooming a dog or on my computer.
“If I’m not doing something I just can’t sit there and look at the screen for that long.
“It’s not to say the movie isn’t epic and cinematic and brilliant, or that there aren’t amazing performances. I love some of these actors.”
Although she struggles to get through a full film, that certainly wasn't the case with Greta Gerwig's Barbie.
She said: “Yes, I Barbied. How could you not? Like, honestly, that would be the last straw. No Instagram, no TikTok, no Barbie . . . ‘Who are you?!’ Barbie is what the world needs. You know, just like a big hug of pink and happy women. Just that made me so happy.”
