American actor David Harbor admits he has had an argument with Stranger Thingsco-star Millie Bobby Brown. In an interview with entertainment magazine Variety Harbor compares it to a family feud. “It’s OK in families because you just have a fight and then you get back together,” Harbor said. “The problem with a billion-dollar show is that there are hundreds of people who want to get involved.”
Stranger Things first appeared in 2016 and ended early this year. Harbor played the adoptive father of Brown’s character Eleven, who was twelve years old when the show began. Before the release of the final season, the British magazine reported DailyMail that Brown had filed a complaint against Harbor for harassment.
“We worked together for 10 years during her formative teenage years, as 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 have arguments, disagreements every now and then,” Harbor said.
“It was just a simple thing that once we got everyone out of the way and talked to each other, it was fine.” According to Harbour, he and Brown are working together again on new projects.
Brown himself shows up Variety know that she has changed a lot during Stranger Things. “David was there the entire time,” Brown said by email. “When you work with someone for so many years, we were able to really challenge each other emotionally in scenes. Even though the series is over, there is still a lot of gratitude. Being able to share that experience with him all these years is something I will always remember and cherish.”
Lily Allen
In the interview, Harbor also responds to the most recent album by his ex-wife, singer Lily Allen. The songs sparked widespread criticism of Harbour, although Allen has previously said that not everything she sings on the album is true.
“I truly believe that it is every artist’s prerogative to use her experiences to create art, and so I respect her for that,” says Harbor. “Stories are complex and that is why I say I respect her art creation to channel her experience. It was not my experience.”
Harbor has previously spoken to the media about his bipolar disorder. According to the actor, he sometimes shows ‘confusing’ behavior and had a ‘breakdown’ at the end of last year. “Under extreme stress, that can lead to somewhat erratic behavior, which is embarrassing, and I’m ashamed of it. It’s not something I choose, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.”
