Netflix’sStranger Thingsis known for the Upside Down, the Demogorgon, and a group of youngsters battling strange monsters. But, what many seem to forget is that behind the dark series is a much lighter atmosphere on set, with the main actors striking funny poses and having a good laugh at jokes and their own mistakes. To remind fans of this, Netflix released an old blooper reel from the extremely popular series featuring David Harbour.
The 43-second clip was shared on the streaming giant’s official Twitter page, showing a scene where David Harbour’s character Jim Hopper is telling Mike Wheeler, portrayed by Finn Wolfhard, why he needs to rush home. And what Harbour seems to be stuck on is the word “grandma,” constantly breaking character and bursting into a laugh.
