Grand Theft Auto has become a hot topic, especially with the anticipation surrounding GTA 6’s pre-orders. In a recent podcast featuring Millie Bobby Brown, the conversation surprisingly shifted to her favorite video game. Without hesitation, she exclaimed, “GTA!” and shared some fascinating insights about her unique gaming style.

The Contrast in Gameplay Approach
Horowitz described the immersive experience of GTA as “diving into a terrible world and causing chaos.” However, Millie quickly countered this perspective, stating that she strictly adheres to traffic laws while playing. She mentioned that she stops at red lights and never runs over pedestrians.
When her husband, Jake Bongiovi—the son of musician John Bon Jovi—expressed his confusion about her play style, he likened it to playing The Sims. Millie humorously defended herself, saying that she’s simply a good person who visits strip clubs in the game but doesn’t indulge in drinking. This added layer of “goodness” amid the criminal chaos underscores her unique approach to gameplay.
Justifications for Virtual Crimes
For those looking to complete a GTA story, engaging in criminal activities is often essential. However, Millie finds it challenging to justify such actions. She tends to rationalize her character’s violent tendencies by suggesting that they are part of their job or by portraying them as a vigilante trying to navigate through a chaotic world.
Despite the game’s gangster theme seeming at odds with her public persona, Millie’s husband was genuinely surprised to learn about her affinity for the series. Although the details about which GTA titles she’s played remain unclear, one thing is certain: Millie is eagerly anticipating the release of GTA 6 and all the new red lights she’ll encounter starting November 19.
Conclusion: A Unique Take on a Classic Game
Millie Bobby Brown’s approach to Grand Theft Auto is refreshingly different. While many players embrace the chaotic and anarchic nature of the game, she illustrates how personal ethics can shape one’s gaming experience. Her love for following the rules—and her ability to find joy in a traditionally unruly game—allows us to see the vast possibilities that gaming narratives can offer. So, are there others out there who play GTA in a similar fashion? What are your own strategies in navigating the open world of GTA?
