As the promotional tour for the final season of Stranger Things ramps up, one of its biggest stars is conspicuously absent. David Harbour, who has portrayed the beloved police chief Jim Hopper for five series, has remained silent and largely out of sight, fuelling speculation as his name becomes entangled in a web of public and private controversy.
While his castmates embark on a global press tour, Harbour's absence is raising eyebrows. The timing is particularly notable, coming just as the 50-year-old actor faces bombshell cheating allegations from his ex-wife, singer Lily Allen, and stunning claims of on-set misconduct from his co-star, Millie Bobby Brown.
