Singer Billie Eilish revealed during an Oscars red carpet interview that some of her favorite films growing up were "The Babadook" and "We Need to Talk About Kevin," and fans are complaining that the 18-year-old star's answers made them feel "so old." 

Eilish, who will perform during the "in memoriam" segment at the 2020 Oscars, was asked by "Pose" star and interviewer Billy Porter what some of her favorite movies were growing up. 

"I always loved scary stuff," Eilish answered. "I loved 'The Babadook,' I liked 'We Need to Talk About Kevin.' We loved 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'"

Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell was also in attendance, and told Porter that some of his favorite films as a child were "The Social Network," "Money Ball," and "anything Aaron Sorkin had anything to do with." 

"Oh, and these are films from your youth?" Porter, who was clearly taken aback at the siblings' age, asked. 

On Twitter, fans echoed Porter's statement, and said that Eilish and O'Connell's answers made them feel "so old." 

Plenty of users also made jokes about their "crypts" and old age in regards to Eilish and O'Connell's answers. 

This isn't the first time Eilish's response to a culture-related question has shown her age — and subsequently caused a stir online. Last year, her response to being asked if she knew who Van Halen ("What is that?") was caused some subsequent outrage on social media.
