David Harbour talks about Jake Bongiovi
David Harbour recently had a lighthearted exchange with his Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown during the red-carpet premiere of the show’s final season. At the event, the duo was seen chatting and posing together for photographers.
A TikTok lip-reading video by creator Jackie Gonzalez later revealed details of their conversation. According to the clip, Harbour joked about Brown’s husband, Jake Bongiovi, saying, “I’m not as handsome as Jake! I’m not. It’s not my fault, it’s just genetics, so…” Brown laughed and asked Harbour whether he ever recognizes photographers on red carpets, saying, “I recognize them all the time, it’s usually the same people every time.”
Their cordial interaction was well received by fans, many of whom expressed relief after an earlier controversy. Earlier this month, a Daily Mail insider alleged that Brown had filed a harassment and bullying complaint against Harbour before production began on the Netflix show’s final season. According to the report, the investigation lasted several months, though neither Brown nor Harbour has publicly commented on the claims.
However, the pair, who have portrayed the iconic duo of Jim Hopper and Eleven since the show’s debut in 2016, appeared cordial while posing for photographs on the red carpet. Videos captured the actors laughing and having a friendly conversation, which quickly circulated across social media.
Stranger Things Season 5 will be the final installment of the hit Netflix series. The first part of the season is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on November 26.
