Ahead of the final season, David has spoken out about working with the A-list actress – heaping praise on his colleague.
He told Esquire: “I just feel so lucky to work with her. I have such a deep, deep love and respect for actors and what we do.
“I think that we’re so vulnerable putting our faces in these things that we have no control over, trying to show up and invest and create these imaginary worlds.
“And I think that people who have done that at a level where I believe them and fall in love with them in a fake reality, I just have such awe of it.”

SHOCK CLAIMS
David Harbour faces claims he ‘harassed & bullied’ co-star Millie Bobby Brown
David has found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, after Lily, 40, dropped ‘revenge’ album West End Girl.
On the record, she appears to accuse David of having an affair with a woman she calls Madeline.
And during his interview David addressed “slip-ups” he’s made in recent years.
He said: “I would change either everything or nothing.
“You either accept your path completely and realise that even the pain and the slip-ups and the mistakes are all part of the journey, and that there’s truth and growth, wisdom and deeper empathy and connection in all that.
“It’s kind of like a house of cards, the minute you try to change one thing you kind of have to change it all.”
David has also come under-fire for allegations he bullied Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown on-set.
Millie reported David to show bosses to complain about his behaviour while filming the show’s fifth and final season, including allegations of “harassment and bullying,” according to a report in the Daily Mail.
“Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season,” an unnamed source told the outlet, adding “there were pages and pages of accusations,” and an investigation into the matter “went on for months.”
While Netflix chose not to respond to the claims, the unnamed source alleged that “Lily supported” David “throughout it all” and “it was a brutal time”.
