It’s hard to believe that it’s been 6 years since the Netflix Original Stranger Things first premiered. After the recent wrap of season 4, what can one say about the show that hasn’t been said before? The latest season exceeded all expectations and was by far the best. With the 74th Primetime Emmy nominations just announced, everyone expected Millie Bobby Brown and Sadie Sink to be nominated.

However, that wasn’t the case, leaving the fans outraged. To mask their disappointment, the internet started sharing an adorable old interview of Millie Bobby Brown on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The nostalgic video doing the rounds was after her first Emmy nomination back in 2017. The star, who had just turned thirteen then, candidly discusses her nomination and shares some amusing tidbits about her family.

Being the third among four siblings, Brown shares that she is the only one in the show business. While social media is full of jokes and memes, her household doesn’t even know much about Stranger Things, let alone make jokes about it. However, like any normal teenager, her parents also embarrass her, especially her father. “You’ve got to love him for it, but he is very embarrassing,” says Millie.

She reasons further, saying, “He thinks that photo bombing is cool.” At that point, Stephen Colbert whips out an actual picture of Millie with a fan and Millie’s dad in the background as evidence.

Brown narrated that her attempt to discourage her father was futile. “And there he is, another fan and another person, and even at family reunions, he’s there in the background,” she adds.
