STRANGER THINGS STAR’S PRIVATE HELL

-

When your stinker flick sinks like the Titanic, who ya gonna call? RYAN REYNOLDS! That’s exactly what Stranger Things star DAVID HARBOUR did after headlining 2019’s bomb Hellboy. “I called him and I was like, ‘Hey man, I just need to know something. You know Green Lantern? Huge flop for you. What the f**k is that like, because I think I’m going to hit that right now. Am I gonna be okay? Am I gonna survive this?’ ” recalls the actor, 47.

The disastrous $50 millionbud­get reboot of the RON PERLMAN classic fetched only $21 million at the domestic box office. While Ryan was sympatheti­cally “sweet,” Dave reveals he remained devastated. “It was a very difficult experience because I wanted a lot out of it. I like that character. And then immediatel­y when it began, even when it was announced, I realized that people did not want that character reinvented. I was very naive and optimistic about what we were going to do.”
