She continued: “I come to set and I’m an actor and I adapt, and so I want to mimic other people!”

“I can’t help that when I’m around my fiancé, or when I’m with people like Jimmy Fallon who have a very American accent, I wanna replicate it! 

“And now I’m in England, I wanna replicate that [accent]! I don’t do it intentional.”

Millie then addressed the camera directly and said: “I’m sorry if it offends you, okay? But listen, I’m trying my best! I’m trying my best.”

The Damsel actress is engaged to Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake Bongiovi after he popped the question in April 2023. 

In a heartwarming post to confirm their happy news, Millie penned: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” adding a white heart emoji.

Two months later, they celebrated their impending nuptials at a private family party, and the bride-to-be looked gorgeous in an embroidered lace bralette with gold detailing, which she paired with a matching full-length pencil skirt adorned with ornate gold buttons down the center. 

Before Jake came along, Millie admitted she had no intention of becoming somebody’s wife. “That was never my intention, to be a wife,” she explained to Glamour UK

“But after meeting Jake and seeing, ‘Oh, I don’t have to be this stereotypical wife for him’. He doesn’t want me to be that either. He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that. ‘I was like, ‘Oh, I do want this’.”

Millie has kept details of their special day under wraps, recently admitting it’s important for her to maintain privacy. 

“I can say that the [wedding] planning is going – it’s so fun and it’s such an exciting time in my life,” she told Women’s Wear Daily

Explaining why she is being secretive about her wedding day, she said: “Just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once. And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me.”
