If you haven't heard Millie Ford, there's a good chance you do know her viral videos where she plays uncanny portrayals of teachers, parents and shop assistants that we have all experienced. Amassing over 1.7 million followers online Millie is one of the fastest-rising creatives in Australia.
We had the pleasure of sitting down in conversation with Millie, and spoke all things fashion, style icons and her future dreams as she takes the acting world by storm.
Describe yourself in three words:
Energetic, creative, and intuitive
What are you best known for?
Being the ‘TikTok Teacher’. People literally come up and say that to me. But it’s basically because of my impersonations of teachers, mums and other Aussie characters that I’ve posted online!Who is your style icon?
Jasmine Tookes and Rosie Huntington Whitley - both of their taste is utter perfection. *chefs kiss*
Who is the most iconic person to comment/like a video of yours?
Phoebe Tonkin follows me and often engages and I still can’t get over that!
How did you get into acting?
I actually started out in musicals and plays in high school and just love escaping into a character. I’ve always loved impersonating people and trying accents which lead to my characters online. Then I landed a role in Bump and it kind of started there!
Career wise, if you weren’t acting what would you be going?
I started off in marketing and social media so 100% I’d still be in some sort of marketing role or anything creative!
What is your dream acting role?
Omg I need to play a fan favourite character who ends up being the villain. I practise doing my villain monologue weekly.
What is your favourite piece from TWG newest collection?
I love a statement bag and TWG nails them every time - can I say every single bag TWG makes?
What is your dream holiday destination?
If you were in Europe right now, what TWG outfit would you be wearing: I wish I was doing Europe this year. I’d 100% be taking the Irida vest dresses in Stone and Butter with me!
