David Harbour has recently opened up about his deep admiration for Winona Ryder, describing her as an ‘extraordinary creature’ whom he ‘fell in love’ with while working on the hit series Stranger Things.

The 50-year-old actor is currently navigating a whirlwind of media attention following the release of his ex-wife Lily Allen’s album, “West End Girl.” The album seemingly delves into the complexities of their past relationship, including allegations of infidelity.

Amidst the public scrutiny, David appears to have found a steadfast supporter in his Stranger Things co-star, Winona Ryder. Their on-screen chemistry has translated into a genuine off-screen friendship, which he fondly acknowledges.

In a candid conversation with Esquire Spain, David expressed his appreciation for Winona’s on-set presence, praising her vulnerability and creative spirit. He shared, “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.’

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. 

The record is her first in seven years and was recorded in just 10 days, in the wake of her devastating split from the star last December after Lily, 40, discovered his three-year affair and slew of infidelities. 

The widely-lauded album has been carefully dissected by avid fans for what they are interpreting as more details of the relationship breakdown.

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?
