In a surprisingly honest revelation, singer and actress Lily Allen has confessed she's never watched her friend and co-star David Harbour in the global Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things.
The British star, who recently performed alongside Harbour in Martin McDonagh's West End play The Pillowman, made the admission during a candid appearance on the popular radio show Your Mom's House with hosts Tom Segura and Christina P.
A Blossoming On-Stage Partnership
Despite playing Harbour's on-stage wife in the critically acclaimed production at London's Duke of York's Theatre, Allen revealed she's completely in the dark about his character Chief Jim Hopper in the hit sci-fi series.
'I've never seen Stranger Things,' Allen stated matter-of-factly, adding with characteristic dry humour, 'I don't really watch television.'
From Co-Stars to Confidants
The two performers developed a close bond during their time working together in London's theatre scene. Allen spoke warmly about Harbour, describing him as 'a really lovely man' and praising their professional chemistry.
Their connection was so genuine that Allen even gifted Harbour a thoughtful present during the production - a customised pillow featuring his face, a playful nod to their play's title that the American actor apparently adored.
A Different Kind of Stage Fright
Allen didn't hold back when discussing the challenges of live theatre compared to her music career. 'Theatre is terrifying,' she confessed, explaining that unlike concerts where audience interaction is welcome, 'you don't want them to make a sound' during a dramatic performance.
The singer-turned-actress also shared an amusing anecdote about her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, accidentally spoiling major plot points for fans - a hazard of being married to one of the show's key players.
While Allen may not be tuning into Hawkins, Indiana anytime soon, her respect and affection for her former co-star is undeniable, proving that sometimes the strongest professional bonds form off-screen rather than on.
