In 2020 the 18-year-old appeared in one of Miley Cyrus' Instagram lives from her "Bright Minded" series to tell the Disney alum how much she loved the show and how it helped her perfect her American accent. She said she loved the series and Cyrus' performance so much that she "wanted [her] job."

Now two years later, Brown is even more adamant about the impact of the Disney Channel show on her. The actress revealed that she thought the series was Oscar-worthy because it was "so good."

Brown appeared in a Friday episode of "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and once again mentioned her love for the hit Disney Channel show, "Hannah Montana." The actress revealed that she perfected her American accent for "Stranger Things" by watching Miley Cyrus in the series.

The 18-year-old revealed that she thought the show was Oscar-worthy even while watching famous movies like "Bugsy Malone" and "Godfather. Brown said, "I watched 'Bugsy Malone' and 'Godfather' when I was like eight, and my parents were like, you know, watching all these movies with me."

She continued, "And I was like 'Yeah, but 'Hannah Montana' is like Oscar-nominating like it's so good. Like the film, everything. Everything about it is amazing. And I got the American accent."

In 2020, Brown told the "Hannah Montana" star herself just how much she loved her show and the impact of the Disney series on her life. The 18-year-old appeared on one of the "Wrecking Ball" artist's Instagram series at the time, titled "Bright Minded.

Brown said, "The only way I got my American accent was by watching Hannah Montana." The 29-year-old replied, "I'm surprised you don't have a country accent," while laughing.

The "Stranger Things" star continued, revealing that she was "obsessed" with the show and even learned the famous "Hoedown Throwdown" in cowboy garb. "I was actually just going through my camera roll, and I saw a video of me in a cowboy hat, and I was learning ['Hoedown Throwdown']. Full-on knew every single dance move," she said.

The actress continued, "I wanted your job. I didn't know how to get your job, but I was like, 'I want to be like Hannah Montana. I don't know how to do it.' And then I realized it was an actual job. And I was like, 'Oh, I want to do that; that sounds fun!' I didn't even know you could get money for it. I was like, 'I'll do it got free!'"

Further on in the interview, the actress revealed that she was skilled at giving good impressions of people, especially if she had "watched it for long enough." "Yeah, I like to see characters, and then I just do the accent. As long as I've watched it for long enough, I can kind of get it to somewhat of a T," she said.

She then proceeded to nail impressions of Anna Delvey from "Inventing Anna," played by Julia Garner. Brown revealed that she previously used the fake Russian heiress accent in a hotel lobby.

Brown recalled, "I was in the hotel lobby the other day, and they were like, 'Miss Brown, we have to run your card again,' and I was like [in Anna Delvey's accent] 'Run it again! It must be your system! Why do you look poor?'"

She also did an impression of her co-star from "Stranger Things" Winona Ryder. When Fallon asked for more impressions, she said, "Winona Ryder from Season 1. Noah [Schnapp] and I like to do this one." Brown proceeded to say a line as Will, Schnapp's character, then made the Ryder impression. "Come on, baby; I am here. I am coming to find you, honey," she quipped.

Brown also talked about the upcoming "Stranger Things" season. According to the actress, the mysterious past of her character, Eleven, would be unveiled, and the season would "dig deep into her beginning."

"The main part and the slogan of this storyline is, 'It's the beginning of the end.' And we really have to dig deep into her beginning, and how she became who she is with the people around her, and how to gain that autonomy and become this woman on her own. So this storyline, this season really digs into that," Brown explained.
