Stranger Things Star Recounts Hilarious On-Set Blooper That Took an Hour to Shoot

In a recent interview, Stranger Things star David Harbour recounted a hilarious on-set blooper that occurred during the filming of season 3. Harbour, who plays the role of Jim Hopper, revealed that while he is usually a "pretty responsible" actor, there was one particular scene that took "an hour" to shoot because he simply couldn't stop laughing.

The scene in question involved Harbour's character scolding Finn Wolfhard's character, telling him to "get home" because he didn't want him "in bed with my daughter." However, Harbour found this line so amusing that he was unable to deliver it properly, much to the frustration of his young co-stars Millie Bobby Brown and Wolfhard.

"I just, for some reason, that particular line, I couldn't say it for like an hour," Harbour explained. "And I laughed and laughed and laughed to the point where the children, Millie and Finn, were like, 'What is wrong with you? We need to get to work.'"

Despite the delay, Harbour considers this moment one of his favorite memories from the show, as it was a rare instance of him breaking character on set. "If you watch that thing, that really is probably one of my favorite memories because I'm a pretty responsible guy when I go to work, but I was very, very irresponsible that day," he added.

The close bond between Harbour and Brown, who plays Eleven, was also evident at the recent Stranger Things season 5 premiere, where the two arrived together and were captured on camera laughing, hugging, and posing for photos. Their on-screen and off-screen relationship has been a highlight for fans of the hit Netflix series.
