David Harbour has a “special bond” with Millie Bobby Brown.
The 50-year-old actor was baffled by reports that his Stranger Things co-star had filed a harassment and bullying complaint against him ahead of production on the final series of the Netflix blockbuster because they are very close, and he even teased they are planning future projects together.
He told Variety the report was a “weird thing” which “came out in a weird way”, and added: “Straight up, Millie and I are working on several …
“You’ll see more of me and Millie — 10 years wasn’t enough.
“There is a special bond there. I love her. She loves me.”
David insisted it is normal to get involved in “arguments and disagreements” with colleagues who have had a close working relationship for so long.
He said: “In this weird world we live in where sound bites will be created, I’m trying to figure out how to say this.
“It’s a show that went on for 10 years. We worked together for 10 years during her formative teenage years, playing father and daughter. I don’t know if people have families and friends that you spend a lot of time with for 10 years — you occasionally get in arguments, disagreements.
“In families, it’s OK because you’re just in a disagreement and then you come back together. The problem with a billion-dollar show is that there’s just hundreds of people who want to get involved.”
And David insisted he and his 22-year-old co-star found it easy to resolve their differences once there were no other people involved.
He said: “It’s simple. It was just a simple rupture-and-repair thing that, once we cleared everybody out of the way and talked to each other, we’re fine.
“Everyone nowadays is very scared of talking about things. People are very scared of being human. It’s unfortunate, because I don’t know how to navigate this weird media world.
” But it was completely normal, and we adore each other and always have.”
And Millie insisted she has a “lot of gratitude” for David and their time working on the show as Eleven and Jim Hopper respectively.
She told Variety in an email: “Obviously I changed so much from Season 1 to Season 5, and David was there through all of it.
“Over time, our relationship became much more collaborative creatively. When you work with someone for that many years, we could really push each other emotionally in scenes.
“Even though the series has ended, there’s still a lot of gratitude. Getting to share that experience with him for so many years is something I’ll always remember and value.”
