“During rehearsal for the scene, I grabbed his face and kissed him,” says Millie Bobby Brown in the video, mimicking the bewildered and stunned look of Louis Partridge when she kissed him. “He was like that, it was too cute”. “For a girl to take the first step like that is really exciting”she adds, very satisfied with the scene shot.
She also confides that she had to hit her partner at some point during the filming, and that she was not dead hand, so that it seems realistic. “As Louis is a good friend, I kept hitting him. I wasn’t pretending, I was really hurting him, punching him in the stomach”says the actress, explaining that her partner had ended up asking her to simulate a little more.
”Millie Bobby Brown did not ask for Louis Partridge’s consent”
On TikTok, the words of Millie Bobby Brown did not pass to certain Internet users, who notably noted the non-consent of Louis Partridge. Seeing that the revelations of the star of Netflix were debated, Jessica Steinrock, coordinator of intimacy in television and cinema, reacted in a video posted on her TikTok account, followed by 690,000 people.
“I love Millie Bobby Brown but it’s not the cute story you imagine. I’m sure she and her partner have built a good relationship and a lot of trust, but you should never surprise anyone during a fight or an intimate scene. And she didn’t ask for consent to kiss him”, explained the expert. Jessica Steinrock added that “when your filming partner reacts with surprise if you kiss her, it means the communication didn’t go as it should.” “Consent is mandatory”she hammered, warning once morest celebrity-related abuse.
