Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour's red carpet reunion at the season five premiere of Netflix's 'Stranger Things' in Los Angeles on November 6 was nothing short of a delightful sight, turning even the grumpiest of frowns upside down. Despite speculations of a rift between the 'Stranger Things' co-stars, the duo shone with smiles as they walked the carpet together, exchanging laughter and good-natured banter that proved their closeness as ever.
Both clad in all-black outfits, David and Millie's chemistry was on full display as they posed for photos, with the 50-year-old even having a bit of fun with the photographers by teasing the actress' husband Jake Bongiovi. "Am I as handsome as Jake?" David asked in a video captured by E! News, prompting a chuckle and an even closer lean from the 21-year-old. He quipped, "I'm not. It's not my fault. It's just genetics."
Meanwhile, their 'Stranger Things' co-stars Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, and Gaten Matarazzo posed together elsewhere on the carpet. Last month, rumors swirled that David may have been distant from his co-stars after seemingly absent from a press junket with the cast, sparking speculation that he had pulled out of promotional interviews. However, a source with knowledge dispelled these rumors, stating that the 'Thunderbolts' star was never confirmed to attend, meaning he never backed out of any appearances.
In fact, he has been busy filming Courteney Cox's new movie 'Evil Genius,' according to Deadline. Although David wasn't featured in some of last month's press alongside his now-grown-up co-stars, he has been vocal about their potential for long careers and how he is always here to help them out. "I'm always here to help them out," he told Esquire Spain in an interview published on November 1, "but they're on their own path. It's a wild path, but they all seem to be doing great."
As the Emmy nominee heads into the end of 'Stranger Things,' the show that made him an "international star," he expressed mixed feelings about the experience. "There's all kinds of stuff: there's sadness, there's fear, but in general it also gives you an opportunity to have more time and space to do your own thing," he shared. "I'm excited about what I've learned over the years on 'Stranger Things.'" David added, "As brilliant and wonderful as 'Stranger Things' is—I do think it will stand the test of time, but I also think it will be a product of its time."
