David Harbour is getting candid about what it’s like working with Millie Bobby Brown.
The “Stranger Things” co-stars played an on-screen adoptive father and daughter in the wildly popular Netflix series. Brown played Eleven while Harbour played Jim Hopper.
Despite their previously rocky relationship, the duo seems to be collaborating again, and fans are excited to see what they might have in store.
Despite having played father and daughter for nearly a decade, Harbour is not tired of sharing the spotlight with Brown.
The co-stars are set to reunite on a new Netflix spy series, where they both have starring roles. They will also executive produce it along with Brown’s husband, Jake Bongiovi.
The series follows a disgraced FBI agent returning to the field following the kidnapping of his estranged daughter, who is also an FBI agent. Emmy winner Jack Thorne, who previously worked with Brown on the “Enola Holmes” movies, wrote the script.
In an interview with E! News, the “Black Widow” actor reflected on the special bond between their characters. “I go anywhere in the world, and people know the relationship of Hopper and Eleven,” he gushed.
The 51-year-old wants to channel that dynamic in exploring other stories and to build something that is truly unique and original.
“It really is a working relationship, where we love what we bring out in each other,” he shared. “You’re in service of a greater story, and we both know how to do that and think about that and talk about that. I love what we have together, and I love to be able to see her daily.”
He also revealed details on the untitled project, saying, “It’s very unexpected, and we’ve come up with something that I’m very, very proud of.”
Millie Bobby Brown Addressed Rumors About Her Relationship With David Harbour
The actor’s sentiments were also echoed by the “Enola Holmes” actress. Last year, she also had a few things to say about her co-star following the premiere of the final season of their show.
She highlighted that the cast of “Stranger Things” has always had a united front, prioritizing their bond above everything else.
“We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years. I mean, we have always been united in that,” The Blast reported that the actress explained. “We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”
She also had a lot of loving words to say about her on-screen father figure, adding that working with Harbour again was so nice and that it was exciting to “come back together.”
David Harbour Was Accused Of Bullying Millie Bobby Brown
Brown’s comments came after shocking allegations rocked the sci-fi drama set. Allegedly, the then 21-year-old had filed a bullying and harassment complaint against the then 50-year-old, casting a dark cloud on the hit series final season.
“There were pages and pages of accusations,” a source revealed, per The Blast. “The investigation went on for months.”
The allegations, however, did not contain any sexual assault, and the outcome remained unclear. While Netflix did not release an official statement on the incident, an insider said that Brown had a representative on set while filming.
The Duo Had A United Front At Stranger Things Premiere
Despite the rumors that surrounded them, the actors appeared in a united front at the final premiere of the Netflix hit show.
The Blast reported on a video shared by Netflix of them at the red carpet event that showed Harbour and Brown in a heartwarming moment.
The caption read “David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere.” The duo was also captured laughing and hugging each other while posing for pictures.
David Harbour Opened Up About His Mental Health
Just months after Harbour and Brown’s seemingly friendly reunion, the “Thunderbolts” actor shifted the focus to his mental health.
Earlier this year, the 51-year-old spoke on how important therapy has been for him, saying, “I have been in therapy since I got sober in 1999.” He explained that when he got sober, he was forced to confront a lot of demons that rose to the surface.
Harbour, however, added that he has not had a manic flare-up, which was usually accompanied by what he described as “fundamental narcissism,” since he started psychoanalysis with a good therapist.
“Only recently have I started intense psychotherapy, and it has made a world of difference in my treatment,” the actor, who was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder at age 25, said, according to The Blast.
