Finn’s Response to Milly

Finn explained himself on the Drew Barrymore Show after Millie called him a “lousy kisser” in a Vanity Fair interview.

“You know what, I was fine with it,” Finn explained in January 2023 of his costars comments. “I don’t know, it was one of those things where the first, it’s just an interesting thing when you have to like, my first onscreen kiss was with Millie, but I didn’t know how to approach that in any way, there was no just like, ‘You’re gonna do this thing and at the end of the take, you’re gonna kiss her.'”

Things got even more awkward after Finn nearly headbutted Millie.

“And then, so I just like, almost headbutted her … the romantic way of putting it was that I headbutted her, but I was twelve so, you know,” he added. “I probably would have done the same thing if I was not onscreen in front of the entire world.”

‘Lousy Kisser’

Millie claimed Finn was a “lousy kisser” while taking the Vanity Fair lie detector test in November 2022.

“He is,” she confirmed. When she was then asked if Finn had improved his smooching ability since their first kiss in season 1, the Enola Holmes actress replied, “Not with me. No.”

After the interviewer told Millie that Finn would probably see their interview, she responded with, “That’s OK.” LOL.

Just Friends

She told E! News July 2019 that it simply isn’t awkward between them.

“It’s relatively easy, I think … It’s our job,” she explained. “It’s in the scripts and we feel comfortable with each other, we feel trusted, we’re in a safe environment, so it’s relatively easy. I think people hype it up to be awkward, more awkward than it is, but it’s just like your friend, so it’s chill.”

‘Almost Like a Relationship’

“We’ve done this for nearly seven years,” Millie said about working with Finn. “And it almost is like a relationship that we always come back to after however long we’re filming. And we’re like, OK, this is where the characters are now. We can grow and do the scenes together. And we usually improv a lot too, with those types of stuff. So yeah, it’s been really nice doing it with the same person for that long.”

Best Friends

Millie told Netflix Magazine in July 2020 that it’s easy to work with Finn as they are “best friends.”

“I’ve known him since I was 10,” Millie said. “But I would prefer to do it with him than with someone I didn’t know. We know how to work together really well, and he has respect for girls, for me.”
