David Harbour has revealed why he struggles to date people who aren’t in the entertainment industry.
The Stranger Things actor, 50, split from Lily Allen, 40, in December after five years of marriage and has since faced rumours of infidelity.
The Netflix star - who was thought to be dating 27-year-old model Ellie Fallon earlier this year - reflected on his love life with “normal people” in his twenties.
Harbour compared the experience to a scene in the new Apple TV series, The Studio, while chatting to Scarlett Johansson for Interview magazine.
“They just did an episode where Seth Rogen is the head of a studio and he’s dating an oncologist. They go to an event together, and she’s like, ‘Oh my god, it’s so sweet what you do with movies,’” he said.
“He’s like, ‘Hey, you cure cancer. But once the cancer’s cured, people go to the movies and find meaning.’ The other doctors start making fun of him and he kind of loses it. There’s something about that ideology with normal people.”
The Black Widow star added: “I tried to date lawyers and business people in my twenties, but there’s something about being a carny freak that normal people don’t get.”
Harbour and Allen split in December - five years after tying the knot in Las Vegas - amid claims they had been living separate lives for months.
In January, it was reported that Allen was "in agony" after discovering Harbour had an active profile on celebrity dating app Raya.
Two months later, Harbour faced claims that he "had a three-year affair" with a costume designer during their marriage. He has not commented on the claims.
Following the breakdown of her marriage, Allen checked into a £10,000-a-week American clinic, reportedly in "emotional turmoil" and "highly medicated" on antidepressants.
Harbour is now reportedly dating 27-year-old model Ellie Fallon, who is 22 years his junior.
Allen is reportedly planning to return her two daughters - who she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper - to a new school in London after previously enrolling them in New York.
