Speaking to The British Blacklist, Brown credited The Lion King as her inspiration to pursue acting.

"I knew I wanted to be an actor after I saw The Lion King for the first time when I was about nine, on a school trip. I would watch TV when I was younger, and I thought it was cool," she said.

"Mum is ecstatic to see her four children for three meals a day," she told i News. 

"We’ve been having board game nights, Friday-night cocktail hours and themed meals, although I don’t contribute to the cooking. I just consume and wear sombreros."
