During The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2022, Millie revealed,

"I watched Bugsy Malone and Godfather when I was like 8. My parents were like watching all these movies with me and I was like, yeah but 'Hannah Montana's like Oscar nominating, like it's so good. Hannah Montana's the best...Everything about it is amazing and I got the American accent."

During a 2020 Instagram Live program, Bright Minded with Miley Cyrus, Millie said she learned the American accent while watching Hannah Montana. She then said that she wanted to be like Hannah Montana, didn't realize it was an actual job back then, and would have done it for free.
