As if it has not been made obvious by now already, Stranger Things‘ fame David Harbour is a big-time gamer. His obsession with geek gaming runs so hard, that he would just steal minutes in between sets to get hold of his elf warrior for a BRD Run. Breezing through his love for video games, Harbour has always talked about his extensive experience in almost all of his interviews. But a recent chat show revealed an astonishing fondness David harbors that even runs parallel with another well-known, gaming fanatic, Henry Cavill

His latest sit down with Josh Horowitz fetched us some of the lesser-known, interesting facts about the rugged cliff face, Jim Hopper.

During a most profound fan questionnaire towards the end of the interview, Harbour came across quite a few tough questions that he had never talked of. Upon asking if there’s anything that David Harbour wants to collect as a hobby, the star reveals those are Warhammers. 

I do collect, oh god I just confessed it to you!” exclaimed the 48-year-old. The “like video game thing I do collect Warhammer, like figurines,” revealed the star struggling to open up his hilarious obsession with the world of gaming. Adding to it was the host who is more like a secret repository for almost all the bigwigs in the Industry. As he heard of Warhammers, Horowitz added, “Yeah, you and Henry Cavill“. 

Exclaiming like kids who compete to get their Jenga towers complete first, Harbour said, “I did even get there first. He got there first“. However, when Josh Horowitz further suggested a Warhammers Figurine face-off, Harbour just warded it off saying,That sounds wrong in so many ways’”. Not just Warhammers, their favorite video games also align as Cavill shares an equal love of World of WarCraft for which Harbour would not mind roleplaying in.

Unlike most gamers who would hop in with any random stranger for a quick round of World of WarCraft, Harbour keeps it to himself. A week earlier, IGN reported how even the Hawkins kids are devoid of having a faceoff with their good old man, Hopper. 

Nonetheless, the star also has a reason behind his selective preference. According to the social handles, David Harbour does not like to play with the Stranger Things’ kids because it would apparently take him out of the fantasy game.
