After 10 years, Stranger Things star David Harbour is more than ready to say goodbye to his character Jim Hopper: "How much more story is there?"
David Harbour seems relieved that St🃏ranger Things is ending

At the end of this year, one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows ever made will conclude with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 5. But although fans may💖 be devastated by the sci-fi series coming to an end, star David Harbour seems to be relieved.
"You get to a certain point where you’re like, 'How much more story is there?' You’re having to play a lot of the same beat," said Harbour to fellow Marvel alum Scarlett Johansson via . "And there’s a feeling where you’re like, 'I want to take a risk. I want to do something that peop🍨le haven’t seen me do before.' So yeah, after 10 years, it’s like, 'Okay.'"
Harbour took on the role of Hawkins' chief of police Jim Hopper when Stranger Things season 1 started filming in 2015. Since then, Harbour has seen Hopp🗹er become a foster dad, investigate undercover scientific labs, and even wind up in a prison c♈amp.
However, Harbour hasn’t always felt ♑this way, as the star made it clear that he has enjoyed his time on the show. "When I started, I loved it so much," he said. "Buddies of mine who'd done TV shows for many years said, 'By season three or four you’ll be running.' And I was like, 'Never! I love all these guys so much.'"
Johansson, who is no stranger to taking part in a long-running franchise or two, acknowledged Harbour‘s need to spread his wings, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:adding that bein🎉g part of the MCU for so long made her feel 𝐆as though her "identity" was wrapped up in the character. "It’s like, 'Okay. I can’t paint my nails, I can’t get a haircut,'" said the Black Widow star.
Harbour agreed. "It’s the same thing with this show. There’d be certain seasons where you feel like, 'I’m going to go in this different direction.' But as you say, a piece of your psyche is occupied with this group of people and this storyline. I don’t paint my nails, but I get that idea of 'I can’t get a haircut' or ♒'I can’t shave this freaking mustache.'"
Following Stranger Things season 4's ending three years ago, season 5 will mark the end of Hawkins' never-ending battle with the Upside Down. The fifth season welcomes back the bulk of the original cast, including Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhar𒀰d, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten🐎 Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, and more.
