Millie Bobby Brown is sharing insight into her working relationship with David Harbour.
The “Stranger Things” actress detailed her experience filming the fifth and final season of the Netflix series alongside the 50-year-old, particularly during their more emotional scenes together.
“Of course I felt safe,” she said in an interview with Deadline posted on TikTok Nov. 28. “We’ve worked together for 10 years. I feel safe with everyone on that set.”
Brown, 21, went on to highlight the unique dynamic between her character, Eleven, and her adoptive father Jim Hopper (played by Harbour), which led to a singular relationship between the two actors.
“We also play father and daughter,” she continued, “so naturally, you have a closer bond than the rest, because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in season two.”
Noting her “great relationship” with Harbour, Brown described their work together as a “labor of love,” adding that the “Thunderbolts*” star only helped to elevate her craft.

“It makes me wanna bring my A-game every single time I see that I’m on the call sheet working with him,” she said, “because I know he’s bringing it right back.”
Earlier this month, speculation arose as to why Harbour did not appear alongside his “Stranger Things” costars during the press tour for the show’s fifth and final season. However, a source with knowledge told E! News he was never confirmed for the interview junket, noting that he was in production on Courteney Cox’s new true crime thriller “Evil Genius,” as reported by Deadline.
Later, Brown and Harbour definitively proved they’re on good terms as they posed together during the show’s season five premiere in Los Angeles Nov. 6, smiling and laughing together as they made their way down the red carpet. In fact, he even cracked a joke involving Brown’s husband Jake Bongiovi, earning an amused response from the “Enola Holmes” star.
“Am I as handsome as Jake?” Harbour quipped in video captured by E! News. “I’m not. It’s not my fault. It’s just genetics.”
Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin on the hit Netflix show “Stranger Things”, was introduced to a one-year-old boy who was named after him.
