In a candid chat with Entertainment Tonight, Harbour admitted, “Middle age is a brutal monster that lives in the dark," highlighting a struggle many face as they navigate life's later chapters.

“You know, my career, I battle a lot of monsters. I battled Vecna and I battled Thanos-level threats. Now, I’m battling the worst of all—middle age, which is a brutal monster that lives in the dark.”
