David Harbour is both worried and happy for the amount of fame his two young co-stars

“It’s terrifying…” &#8211; David Harbour on the Growing Popularity of Co-star Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard

When Stranger Things hit the screens in 2016, no one anticipated the show to get
so huge. Not even the cast. They were a bunch of unknown newbie actors taking on
a bunch of monsters in a small town. But as it turned out, the show was a
sensation upon its release. Its cast, especially the kids, became popular
overnight. Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard, who played Eleven and Mike,
respectively, in particular, won millions of hearts. 



David Harbour, who played Chief Jim Hopper, was yet another actor to benefit
from the show’s popularity. Although he has been in the acting industry for
decades, it was not until the Duffer brothers show that he would get his claim
to fame. David recently appeared for an interview to promote his movie Violent
Night, where he spoke about feeling paternal towards his teenage co-stars in the
Netflix series.

DAVID HARBOUR IS BOTH PROUD AND SCARED OF MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AND FINN WOLFHARD’S
POPULARITY

Although the world may now know Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] as teenage superstars, David
feels a bit differently. He feels protective and fatherly towards them, having
known them as kids. They grew up on the sets in front of his eyes, so it is only
natural for him to feel so protective of them. Although he is extremely proud of
them and appreciates the love fans pour on them, he feels a tad too terrified
when fans go a bit gaga over them.

“It’s terrifying and thrilling at the same time… To see the world just fall in
love with them to the point where they just want to eat them up is terrifying,”
he confessed.
