When Brown and Harbour spoke about their bond
According to Refinery29, in 2018, the then 14-year-old actress told the audience at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, "We went through so many different emotions... we get angry at each other, we are like father and daughter."
The actress also added that she Harbour “would express our feelings on and off the set, and... those scenes were so raw and real that the reward is the scenes.”
In 2021, Harbour, on the That Scene with Dan Patrick podcast, said that he has a "deep fatherly affection" toward Brown.
"Millie and I have always had sort of a special relationship because I knew her when she was so young. I knew her before any of this big fame hit," Harbour said.
"I have a real protective feeling for her. I have a real, like, worry. I worry about her and the fame and all that she has to struggle with. And I've just always felt this kind of deep fatherly affection for her," he added.
Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 will premiere on November 26, followed by Volume 2 on December 25, and the finale will be released on December 31, 2025.
