Millie Bobby Brown has been criticised by an intimacy coordinator for her behaviour on Enola Holmes 2.
Brown had mentioned a scene from the Netflix sequel on the streamer’s TikTok account, recalling a second she kissed her co-star Louis Partridge.
“Right on the rehearsal I grabbed his face and kissed him and he was like…” Brown stated within the video, then making enjoyable of Partridge.
“It was so cute really seeing her take the lead,” she stated of her character Enola. “And also seeing a girl just make the first move is just really exciting.”
Elsewhere within the video, Brown stated she repeatedly punched Partridge for the scene.
“Because Louis is a good friend I just kept punching him, I wasn’t doing stunts, I really was hurting him,” she stated. “By the end of it, he said: ‘Millie can you just fake punch me,’ I was fully just getting him right in the stomach.”
Intimacy coordinator Jessica Steinrock took to her personal TikTok web page to criticise Brown’s behaviour, saying actors shouldn’t be “surprising” one another.
“Ooh no, I love Millie Bobby Brown but this is not the cute story you think it is,“ Steinrock began. ”I’m positive she and her scene associate have a variety of rapport constructed up and a large amount of belief, however we should always by no means be shocking anybody throughout a battle or intimate scene ever.
“At the end of the day, this basically means she didn’t ask consent to kiss him. And when your scene partner reacts in surprise after you’ve kissed them that means the communication didn’t happen the way it really needs to.”
She added: “Little things like this can escalate over time, and frankly she has more power in that situation than he does because she’s a really well-known star. When we do spicy scenes, we love keeping light, having fun, but consent is mandatory.”
“For the record, I loved Enola Holmes 2, but next time we have to ask consent.”
@intimacycoordinator #sew with @netflix consent is obligatory. We don’t have to shock kiss, we don’t want to truly hit… #hollywood #enolaholmes #milliebobbybrown
