    Millie Bobby Brown "of course" felt safe with David Harbour

    The 21-year-old star spoke out following reports she had accused her Stranger Things co-star - who plays her character Eleven's guardian Jim Hopper - of harassment and bullying, and while she didn't directly address the claims, she insisted she and the 50-year-old actor are very close.


    Speaking in a clip shared on Deadline's TikTok account, she said: "Of course I felt safe. I mean, we've worked together for 10 years.

    "I feel safe with everyone on that set. You naturally just, you know ... you've been doing it for so long.

    "We also play father and daughter, so naturally you have a closer bond than the rest, because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in season 2..."

    Her friend and co-star Noah Schnapp interjected: "Not a closer bond than us."

    Millie agreed: "No, of course not. Very different, very different."

    The Enola Holmes actress is proud of the work she's done with David on the current fifth and final season of Stranger Things.

    She added: "But David and I have a great relationship. We work really closely together in the scenes and in preparing for the scenes.

    "And I really am excited for everyone to see the labour of love, and hard work we put into the closure of our relationship, and what that looks like.

    "And to give some of the fans, especially the Hopper and Eleven fans, those scenes that I feel, I think are gonna be quite impactful.

    "But I love it. It makes me wanna bring my A-game every single time I see that I'm on the call sheet working with him because I know he's bringing it right back."

    Following the report about alleged bullying allegations, Stranger Things co-creator brothers Matt and Ross Duffer were asked about the claims.

    Ross told The Hollywood Reporter: "Obviously, you understand I can't get into personal on-set matters, but I will say we've been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they're family and we deeply care about them.

    "So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy."

    The show's director and ex ecutive producer Shawn Levy insisted the team are "proud" of being able to "create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe".

    Asked how they handle a bullying complaint, he added: "I've read a bunch of stories and they range from wildly inaccurate to ... there's so much noise around it.

    "But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that's always been bedrock."
