After Brown sat down on the couch and talked with Fallo,49, for a moment, the two began discussing how the host had met Winnie for the first time just moments before heading on stage.
“I loved meeting your poodle backstage,” Fallon told theEnola Holmesstar.
“She somehow makes everything about her,” Brown joked. “She’s just so selfish. She’s a queen.”
“If she hears my voice or sees me, she feels comfortable,” the actress said, adding that she adopted Winnie during the COVID-19 pandemic. “But if she can’t, she gets really anxious. We have a little co-dependency issue.”
Fallon also asked if the dog was comfortable around audiences and large crowds.
“Actually, when she was 8 weeks, I took her to a Falcons game,” she laughed. “I was just like, ‘You got to get used to this, kid.’ And she did! She was just like, OK, whatever.' And so now she just thrives on sets, [at] studios. She doesn’t like being at the house. She’s like, ‘I want to go out. I want to go to work!'”
Moments later, the late-night host asked if Millie would like to come out and greet the New York City audience. The curtain was pulled back, and theTonight Showaudience cooed and clapped as the curly brown pup raced out from backstage, skipping over Brown entirely and making a beeline for the audience.
After a moment, Winnie settled in next to her dog mom, who revealed a fun fact about the clever poodle.
“She knows when I’m acting, and she knows when I’m actually really upset,” Brown said.
“She knows when I’m fake crying,” she added.
Brown also revealed that one stunt she did on the set of herupcoming filmDamselwas just a bit too realistic for the poodle’s liking.
During her interview, Brown also chatted with Fallon abouther engagement to Jake Bongiovi, 21, revealing that he first proposed to the actress while scuba diving underwater.
