00:00You wouldn't discriminate against any star sign?
00:02Totally.
00:03Virgo.
00:04LAUGHTER
00:07Hello, I am Shruti Ghatwa.
00:08And I am Millie Gibson.
00:09And today we are going to let Elle ask us anything.
00:14This is nerve-wracking, though.
00:15No, it's not. We're fine. High stakes.
00:18It's high stakes. I know, but we're fine.
00:19No, we're fine. OK.
00:21When was the last time you were starstruck?
00:23Jinx, Monsoon. Jinx. Oh, my gosh.
00:25I reckon that was a moment for you. I heard her.
00:28She's got such a distinguished laugh.
00:30And I was literally in my trailer, like,
00:32that's her, that's her, that's her, I can't go out, I can't go out.
00:35Every time she'd go for a scene, you'd go,
00:38look at her best bits. Yeah!
00:40You'd be like, Shruti, we need to watch Jinx's best drag race moment.
00:44That was an iconic moment. Iconic.
00:46In Doctor Who.
00:48Who's one celebrity you would want to travel with you on the TARDIS?
00:52Oh, Beyonce. Yes!
00:55We could have concerts in there. The karaoke would be incredible.
00:58Yeah, it could get even hotter.
01:00What would you guys be listening to?
01:02Cowboy Carter.
01:04This ain't Texas.
01:05HE LAUGHS
01:07Can you imagine? I love it, yeah.
01:09Strumming out the TARDIS with a cowboy hat. Yeah, I love it.
01:12Who would you...? If it was anyone... Mm-hm.
01:15..Amy Winehouse.
01:17I think she'd be a laugh.
01:18It would be very fun. Yeah, it would be so fun.
01:21I love Amy Winehouse.
01:22What is your funniest on-set mishap?
01:24We have so many. There's a lot, there's a lot.
01:27The Wires, filming on the Wires, I think was quite eventful.
01:30It's a crazy set that allows for a lot of mishaps.
01:32Doing a lot of stunts.
01:34Yeah, I mean, with the bogeyman, we wrapped Nicki Minaj with him.
01:37Not very much a mishap, but, like...
01:39But, like, a memory. Memory. Yeah.
01:42What's the most intense thing you've done for a role?
01:45Oh, gosh. Yeah.
01:47That's a good one.
01:48Trying to watch all of Doctor Who to prep for the audition.
01:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
01:52That was pretty, like, wake up at six,
01:54get Doctor Who on and watch it like a marathon.
01:57Which actor are you dying to work with?
01:59Jodie Comer. Yeah. Full stop.
02:01Oh, my God, I think she is incredible.
02:04I watched her in Prima Facie, her one-woman show,
02:06and I remember not leaning back in my seat.
02:08I was just so... Engaged in it.
02:10Yeah, she's incredible, honestly.
02:13Oh, my God, I can't think.
02:14It's so on the spot. You worked with the greats, that's why.
02:17Worked with all the greats. You've ticked it all off.
02:19Judi Dench would be one, Chiwetel, Lupita Nyong'o.
02:23I can picture that, yeah. Michaela Cole.
02:25Loads and loads. Colman, Domingo.
02:27Ooh. The list goes on. The list goes on.
02:29Loads and loads and loads.
02:31What's one prop or wardrobe piece you've taken from set?
02:35All the, like, tracksuit bottoms that we get in between...
02:37Oh, that's such a good one. Yeah, those ones.
02:39I should have thought of that.
02:41They're just so comfortable. Yeah, they are.
02:43I think I've stolen some of Ruby's earrings.
02:45Yeah, she's got good jewellery.
02:47But, yeah, that costume department run a tight ship.
02:49Yeah. There's not getting much costume.
02:50And they all want to get to Comic-Con.
02:52So, it's like, we can't touch it at all.
02:54You know they're going in an archive somewhere.
02:56Yeah, yeah, we can't. We can't get a hold of them.
02:59We can't get them.
03:00Right, Millie Gibson,
03:01what is your first memory of the show Doctor Who?
03:04It's watching it with my dad and watching Amy Pond
03:07and the brilliant Matt Smith.
03:09I just absolutely love Karen Gillard as, like, companion.
03:12She just has a special place in my heart
03:14and a special place in my childhood.
03:16So, every time I think of Doctor Who,
03:17you do think of the Doctor that was yours.
03:20So, yeah, I definitely say that, personally.
03:22Wonderful.
03:24What's been the craziest fan encounter you've had?
03:28Craziest fan encounter?
03:29It's got to be the Whovian.
03:31During Sex Ed times, there was a lot of, like, asking for,
03:34you'd say, Detty Pig a lot.
03:36Yeah.
03:37There was a fan that, remember,
03:40gave us those little Lego characters of ourselves.
03:43Yeah.
03:44That was really amazing.
03:45Yeah. I loved that.
03:46The artwork that we did,
03:48Yeah, the artwork that we get from the Whovians is beautiful.
03:50Oh, my God, the artwork, yes!
03:52So many incredible paintings that we get from them.
03:55And any Whovian interaction is lovely.
03:58If you could cameo in any TV show, what would it be?
04:01Oh, Fleabag, I think.
04:03I mean, even though it's finished
04:05and I don't want to talk about it, but, yeah, Fleabag.
04:08You've not seen it, have you?
04:09Watch it.
04:10I know.
04:11Just watch it when I'm in it.
04:13OK. Yeah.
04:13Yeah, I'm waiting for that.
04:15Yeah, I knew you were.
04:16You?
04:18I would love to be in Doctor Who.
04:21Manifest.
04:22If there was a Barbie sequel,
04:24who would you cast as the Barbie for your Ken?
04:27Oh, that's a hard one because that means
04:28I'm going to have to leave Emma and Mackie behind.
04:31I can't do that.
04:32Well, no, Millie Gibson.
04:34Millie Gibson is the Barbie I would cast for my Ken.
04:37Obviously.
04:38Obviously.
04:39Obviously.
04:40Obviously.
04:40Obviously.
04:42Moving on.
04:43Which actor inspired you growing up?
04:45LAUGHTER
04:47I'm going to sound like a broken record.
04:50Jodie. Jodie.
04:51But if it was, like, when I was really young,
04:54Olivia Newton-John.
04:56I used to always watch Grease with my mum
04:58and, like, those types of films.
05:00I used to watch Dirty Dancing.
05:02My mum has great taste.
05:04Brilliant. Brilliant answers.
05:05Thank you.
05:06Brilliant answers.
05:07What one fashion trend do you think needs to go away?
05:10Those shoes.
05:11Crocs.
05:12Yeah, I was going to say Crocs,
05:14but do you know those shoes that they've been doing recently
05:16where it just goes around the toe?
05:18And it's like a hoof, kind of.
05:19Yeah.
05:20The hoofs.
05:21I've just worn them in a photo shoot, Millie.
05:24I think Crocs.
05:25I think Crocs, actually.
05:26LAUGHTER
05:29I get it, though.
05:30No, you know what?
05:31I had to be converted.
05:32It's just I couldn't pull them off.
05:34You could if you wanted to.
05:36I'll be a hoofian.
05:37LAUGHTER
05:41I will be, yeah.
05:43Fine.
05:44What's one song you use to help you get into character?
05:48Oh, that's a good question.
05:50I use music a lot to get into characters.
05:53Like, I pick a song for my character's season.
05:58Yeah, I love that.
05:59And then, like, that exemplifies their journey
06:02throughout that season.
06:03It's, like, part of my process.
06:05Do you as well?
06:06Yeah.
06:06The piece that Maury Gold wrote for Ruby's song,
06:10as soon as I heard that, I was like,
06:12that's so Ruby, yeah.
06:13Which you see in the 60s episodes.
06:15So, yeah, I think that one would be mine.
06:18Who is a designer that you're dying to work with?
06:21Miu Miu, please.
06:22Miu Miu would be real cute for you.
06:23Yes, please.
06:24Can you tell me what you love about Miu Miu?
06:26Oh, my gosh.
06:27What is there not to love about Miu Miu?
06:28I'm getting hot thinking about Miu Miu.
06:30It's the aesthetic, which of you I said is fine.
06:32It suits my aesthetic.
06:34Yeah.
06:35For sure.
06:35Beautiful.
06:36Yeah.
06:37What is your least favourite astrological sign and why?
06:39Oh, no.
06:41This is a dangerous question.
06:43None.
06:44You love them all.
06:45All star signs are created equally.
06:46It's like taking a favourite child.
06:47You know?
06:48You can't do that.
06:49We don't discriminate against any star sign.
06:51Totally.
06:53Virgo.
06:55Oh!
06:56Oh!
06:56Oh!
06:57Oh!
06:58Oh!
06:59Really?
07:00I'm just-
07:01I'm a Virgo rising.
07:03I know, but not you.
07:05Obviously.
07:06Obviously.
07:07No, no, no, no.
07:09Virgo.
07:10My mum is a Virgo.
07:11My mum's a Virgo.
07:12Your mum is-
07:13Your parents are Virgos, so you get it.
07:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:14Oh, gosh.
07:16They really become your inner voice, man.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Hard to impress.
07:19Yes.
07:20It's a sign that's hard to impress.
07:21Totally.
07:22We've got high standards.
07:23We love them all.
07:24We love them all.
07:25We love them all.
07:25What is the best advice that you have gotten
07:27from another actor and who gave it to you?
07:30Oh, the companions.
07:31The companions had a great-
07:31Yeah, Karen Gillan.
07:32Yeah.
07:33I slid into her DMs and she just was so beautiful
07:37and lovely and humble and honest.
07:40It was just really nice to have that kind of reassurance
07:43and who can get advice from them?
07:45It's a very unique experience.
07:47It is.
07:47The companionship.
07:48And the Doctor, darling.
07:49You know what I mean?
07:50You know?
07:51It's only them that can help us.
07:52It is, darling.
07:53I mean, all the companions are amazing,
07:54but it's so cool to get advice off them.
07:58Thank you so much for watching us on Elle.
08:00We hope you enjoy season one of Doctor Who.
