Milly talked about how she handled the sudden fame that came with her role in a recent interview. Milly admitted that it can be difficult to manage the amount of attention she gets on social media.
Milly, with whom Milly spoke recently Nylon, stated, “It’s like a part-time job, really. I don’t know. I don’t know. It makes me extremely anxious. My face is always in front of me, which makes it very stressful. That should not be the norm. It fuckin’ sucks, man.”
“I don’t know how the socialites of the world can do that. It’s almost driving me insane. It’s an incredibly difficult space to navigate,” she added.
She also spoke out about how being famous can sometimes make her feel lonely, as most of her friends do “normal” things.
“I don’t really know anyone who’s kind of gone through what I’m going through. All of my friends are very normal and go to uni and just do very basic things, and my family’s not in the arts whatsoever, so it’s strange,” Milly said.
