David Harbour is thinking about what he'd do differently.
The "Stranger Things" star reflected on "mistakes" he's made in life, saying at 50 he would change "everything or nothing" about the past half-century if he could. His comments in an interview with Esquire UK published Saturday come amid increased attention to his split from British pop star Lily Allen, although he didn't explicitly reference the end of their nearly four-year marriage.
“You either accept your path completely and realize that even the pain and the slip-ups and the mistakes are all part of the journey, and that there’s truth and growth, wisdom and deeper empathy and connection in all that,” he told the magazine.
The comments are the first by Harbour since the Oct. 24 debut of Allen's album "West End Girl," which is packed with revelatory lyrics about the dissolution of their relationship. Allen, 40, told The Times that the album's subject matter is not "all true" and that she took "artistic" license in some unspecified instances, but "there are definitely things I experienced within my relationship that have ended up on this album."
Written during 10 days in December, the raw, vulnerable project reveals in explicit detail the end of a relationship with an unnamed man, including allegations of infidelity and dishonesty in an open marriage, exploring the betrayal and isolation she felt during its unraveling.
