Millie expressed, "Getting the call, I mean, I will never forget it. It was the most surreal feeling, and yet we both knew in that moment, like that was, that we had found each other."

She continued, "Like, oh my goodness, this is our girl, 100%, no doubt."

Though the Stranger Things star admitted that she didn't record the conversation, she maintained that she and Jake would "never forget those words."
