Millie Bobby Brown felt like "the female version of Tom Cruise" filming 'Damsel'.

The 20-year-old actress was proud to do her own stunts in the movie, in which she plays Princess Elodie, who has to free herself and get revenge after discovering the family of her new husband plan to sacrifice her to a dragon, but she couldn't help but feel "scared" about shooting the action sequences.

Appearing on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', she said: “I feel like the female version of Tom Cruise. I did all my own stunts from start to finish.

“I’m really scared about doing my own stunts. Stunts are scary. You’re just like, ‘I’m not physically trained to do this.'

“You’re just like, ‘Are we really gonna, like, am I really gonna do that stunt?’

“And then that day they’re like, ‘Yep, put the harness on.'”

Millie also praised her co-star Angela Bassett as an "amazing person" with "great presence".

She added: "But she also, you know, to observe her and watch her work, you’re just like, ‘Wow, you’ve always been good.'”

The 'Stranger Things' actress admitted in a separate interview the role was the most "challenging" she'd ever taken on because she doesn't usually do anything physical, but she was happy for the scenes in which she "failed" to make the cut.

In an upcoming interview on 'The Jonathan Ross Show', she said: "It was the most challenging part I'd say, I don't really like to go to the gym, I don't really work out.

"So I just was like I'm going to throw myself into this, and sometimes I would fall, which is in the film, they kept pretty much all of the things that I failed on in the film.

"They wanted it to look real, they wanted it to look like a young girl stuck in a cage fighting a dragon, and that's what it was, except it was in Enfield."
