They might play a brother and sister on camera, but Enola Holmes 2 stars Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill are actually just pretty good mates in real life. The highly-anticipated sequel film, out today (4 November) on Netflix, sees Enola (MBB) take on her first case as a detective, trying to solve the mystery of a missing girl, but she can’t do it without the help of her brother, Sherlock (Cavill). Despite the age difference between the pair though, Millie reveals that they have managed to build a “real adult” relationship both on and off set.
“With Henry, it feels like a real adult relationship. Like a really good friendship, a really healthy one. One that we have terms and conditions,” the Stranger Things star told Deadline.

“I know Henry. He has terms and conditions with me. I’m not allowed to ask about his personal life. It’s like, ‘Millie, shut up. No.’ And I’m like, ‘Understood.’”
Which makes sense, in all honesty, given that Brown is 18 and Cavill is 39, and so to build a “healthy” age gap friendship, especially one which involves an older male, boundaries are key.
During the interview, she also discussed how her bond with Cavill differed from her relationships with the cast of Stranger Things. Highlighting that the friendship formed between the co-stars was totally different, more familial in nature, given that they grew up together. When the first season of the show premiered in 2016, a relatively unknown MBB was just 12-years-old, with many of her young co-stars also in their preteens and early teenage years.

“It’s different because I grew up with Noah (Schnapp) and Charlie (McLaughlin). I met them when I was 10. So, for me, it does feel like your schoolmates,” she explained. “There’s no boundaries.”
“[But] with Henry, it feels like a real adult relationship,” she added. “He’s very strict with me, which I appreciate.”
Sounds quite a lot like a typical older brother / younger sister relationship to us. Who hasn’t been put in their place by an older sibling?
In the meantime, Millie Bobby Brown, if you’re ever looking for new mates… we’re available.
