Millie Bobby Brown's Fears: Sharks, the Dark, and Bungalows

The star of 'Stranger Things' confesses her fears, and then gives Stephen a test to see if he's worthy to hang with her squad.

Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT. Only on CBS.

---
Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

[addie]

How well spoken is this kid? Shit I need a parenting course from whoever raised this little angel

Stephen is like one of the only interviewers who knows how to interview a 12 year old. Most either treat them like babies, or they try to act the same age as them. Stephen just acted his age and spoke to her like a normal kid.

[Dhriti]

damn, shes well spoken, polite, mature, intelligent, another level confident, grounded, and jst 12 yrs old. i mean not even half of the adult population has all those qualities combined. oh she's going far!

[shaunmasonmusic]

Stephen: "When I was your age, we used goose quills"

Millie: Stares in confusion: "Oh, okay.." 😂

[JL-tkng]

It's actually shocking how eloquent and confident she is.

[BirdsofStrs]

when the 12 year old has more energy in a 5 minute video than you have had in your whole life

[lloyda]

In an age where everyone's in a rush to be grown, it's a breath of fresh air to see kids just be kids.

[antoniahcarlynnn]

She was so tiny 😂 and her social skills are 💯 especially for bing 12 at the time

[mackenziebeasley]

"I was gonna say age, but uh, it's okay. Don't worry." Roasted. 😂

[lukejensen]

Am I the only one who thought this interview was super trippy? This girl is 12 but she's obviously extremely intelligent for her age and she's picked up very adult-like mannerisms (I assume from all of the adult interactions she has had with her career and sudden fame). But then she says certain things that remind you that she's only twelve and has no recollection of anything prior to around like 2006. It was a really weird juxtaposition, kinda gave me the chills tbh

[JovanPerez]

when she bowed down to Queen Bee haha I lost it

[cammy]

THIS CHILD IS PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS

[ImJakeSrsly]

Re-visit in like 10 years. "Oh wow, Academy Award winning Millie Bobby Brown is so little here!"

[Stop_Elitists_Wars]

I like how she theorized about potential "tantrums" & equates emotional expression through stair necessity for stomping
