David Harbour is the latest celebrity to experience ego death. At least, that was what he said in a recent interview with the Stranger Things star published in GQ. “It’s all just ego,” he told the magazine during a conversation about his own fame. “It seems kind of silly to say this, but the art that I’m creating is about you. It’s not about me. It’s about your experience of life. We get hung up on [the person themselves], and I think we get lost in the idea of, like, what it’s really about. And I think, for me, it’s dangerous, too, to get lost in the personality in any way.”
The 50-year-old actor went on, serving up further word salad: “That’s part of the problem – people believe the hype, they get into the image, they forget that it’s all just... I mean, I’m not the same person I was this morning. It’s all impermanent. It’s all gonna change. It’s all gonna die. And that’s very, very much deeply in my heart now. At 20, [life] was gonna go on forever.”
