David Harbour says he 'fell in love' with Winona Ryder

David Harbour has admitted he 'fell in love' with 'extraordinary creature' Winona Ryder on the set of Stranger Things. 

The actor, 50, has been at the centre of a media storm after his ex-wife Lily Allen dropped her West End Girl album - in which she appears to unpack their toxic relationship and accuse him of cheating.  

But David reportedly has an unfaltering ally amidst the scandal - his Stranger Things co-star Winona. 

In an interview with Esquire Spain, David gushed over how he admires Winona's ability to be vulnerable and creative on set when asked about his bond with her. 

'I think that people who have done that at a level where I believe them and fall in love with them in a fake reality, I just have such awe of it.'

He added of Winona: 'She's such a deeply emotional human being that I could never be, I think she feels things in a way that I could never feel them. 

'She has a brain that... my brain couldn't stretch to that amount of empathy. She's just an extraordinary creature.'

Winona has reportedly been David's shoulder to cry on amid the backlash after Lily's confronting album. 

A source told The Sun: 'She has his back, and she'll be at his side next month when they start promoting the final episodes of their show. She is not a judgmental person.

'Just like she came to Johnny Depp's defence during his scandal, she'll be there for David because it's clear to her that he's getting a raw deal in all of this.'

Millie Bobby Brown's harassment claim against David Harbour: 'Pages and pages of accusations'

Lily's new album stunned fans - with what many have taken to be intricate details of the dissolution of her marriage to philandering ex-husband David leaving jaws dropping. 

West End Girl is an ode to her marriage to the Stranger Things actor, to whom she was married for four years after meeting on dating app Raya, with 14 tracks supposedly detailing in brutal honesty the breakdown of their relationship.

David Harbour breaks his silence on Lily Allen divorce and his 'pain, slip-ups and mistakes'

Lily poked fun at her ex-husband David's mystery 'mistress' on Friday when she dressed up as children's book character, Madeline. 

Celebrating Halloween at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, the singer channelled the titular character from the classic series by Ludwig Bemelmans, after the release of her explosive song of the same name. 

Lily, whose new album is about her ex-husband's affair and their subsequent split, seemingly named the girl on the semi-autobiographical album in which she repeatedly sings: 'Who the f*** is Madeline?'

The Madeline book series, which follows the orphaned schoolgirl, was turned into a film in 1998, with actress Hatty Jones taking the lead role. 

Channelling the character for Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun's star-studded Halloween party, the musician wore a blue, collard pea coat, with a red neckerchief. 

She topped her school uniform off with a straw hat, Mary Jane shoes and added a bright orange wig.

The 1998 film adaptation of Madeline also starred Frances McDormand as nun Miss Clavel and Nigel Hawthorne as Lord Covington. 

Set in Paris in 1956, it follows Madeline and eleven other girls who are trying to prevent their catholic boarding school from being shut down. 

Lily released her new single, titled Madeline, last Friday, which appears on her album West End Girl. 

The singer addresses David's infidelity with lyrics: 'I can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth'.

The song, Tennis, sees Lily namecheck a woman, who she interrogates her partner about after seeing a text message from her appear on his phone.

The record comes after a turbulent time in Lily's life following the breakdown of her marriage in December after she accused David of having multiple affairs including a his three-year affair with a younger costume designer.

And now there is one question on everyone's lips - who is the real Madeline?
