Harbour has been riding on success since joining Stranger Things. But it hasn’t been a bed of roses for him as his 2019 superhero film Hellboy, where he played the titular role, was a massive box-office dud.
After the film’s failure, Harbour was frustrated and tried to find solace in his friend Ryan Reynolds. He called the Deadpool actor, saying: “I called him and I was like, Hey man, I just need to know something.”
He asked, “You know ‘Green Lantern’? Huge flop for you. What the f*** is that like, because I think I’m going to hit that right now. Am I gonna be okay? Am I gonna survive this?”
According to Harbour, Ryan knew exactly what it felt like and comforted him in a stressful situation.
