I was like, I would dream of being able to do that and not being self-conscious in that way!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDavid &#8211; who played Jim Hopper in the Netflix show &#8211; relished the experience of working with his young, talented co-stars on Stranger Things.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor explained: &#8220;These were real, beautiful human beings, and they were such a joy to work with; I had a blast.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I look back on that first season as being a miraculous time in my life. Hopper was a very depressed individual, it was really tough to go through the acting of that, but the family that we created and the story that we were telling, I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever felt that enriched by some work that I was doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, David previously revealed that he &#8220;can be very critical&#8221; of Stranger Things.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor confessed to having some &#8220;very strong opinions&#8221; about the TV series, despite its success.<\/p>\n<p>\nLooking forward to the final season of Stranger Things, David said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast: &#8220;I&#8217;m very close to the show, so I have very strong opinions. And they may not match yours if you&#8217;re a fan of the show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDavid admitted that he can actually get &#8220;very mad&#8221; if he doesn&#8217;t like a particular episode.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I can be very critical of this show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/david-harbour-reveals-envies-stranger-things-stars-1444892.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 May 2026 David Harbour envied his younger Stranger Things co-stars for being comfortable enough to fart while filming.
