A TikTok clip of the interview has since amassed more than 4.2 million views, and thousands of comments – so it's fair to say that some Stranger Things fans were blown away by Millie Bobby Brown's reaction.
For some, it was a lightbulb moment as to why Hopper, Eleven's adoptive father, was so protective.

"Now I understand why Hopper is so mad," commented one TikTok user.
Another agreed: "Hopper wasn’t overprotective, he was just age appropriate."
Others seemed to be just as shocked as the Stranger Things star.

Another chimed in with: "I THOUGHT SHE WAS 16??"
Some fans found it odd that the cast didn't know the age of the characters they have been playing for six years now.
One person stated: "Kinda concerning that they didn't know the age of their characters..."
