David Harbour, known for playing Chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things and Red Guardian aka Alexei Shostakov in Black Widow, gushed about India calling it 'like being on Mars'. In a recent interview, David described India as a place with a unique character and something he had 'never experienced' before.
David had visited India in late 2018 and early 2019. Following his visit, he had shared several pictures from his trip on Instagram and penned a long note. He wrote "truly the greatest vacation I’ve ever had" and called India a "special place".
In an interview with Pinkvilla, David Harbour said, "I mean, all of India was a highlight for me. I've never been to a country like that. It felt like... so often, we travel in the western world and it feels, there are different tenets of a country, but it really felt like a... like being on Mars. People there are so beautiful. The hearts are so open, the way... they call it the land of light, India, right? And I found that it had such a unique character. I'd never experienced anything like it."
"I absolutely adored India and I was up North, on the river [Ganga], and just seeing that river flow through was so stunning. I mean, to see the green waters up North, flowing through, and there were huge statues of, I think it was Vishnu. It's just a magical, magical land. I can't wait to go back. Love, I love India, love India," he added.
