Stranger Things’ star David Harbour had a wholesome moment with a ‘fan’ who turned out to be his German voice actor.

Harbour has played the role of gruff-on-the-outside-but-soft-on-the-inside Hawkins police chief Jim Hopper in the supernatural drama series since it kicked off in 2016.

While English-speaking Stranger Things fans will be used to hearing Harbour in the role, anyone watching the dubbed German version will be hearing an actor called Peter Flechtner.

And in a sweet clip shared online, the two men meet for the first time at a Stranger Things convention.

In the clip, Flechtner approaches Harbour as any normal fan would before telling him: “I am your German voice.”

A pretty strange thing to have said, but Harbour appears delighted, replying: “No way!” before clapping his hands together and smiling broadly.

Flechtner then puts on a deeper, more gravelly voice, before repeating: “So I’m your German voice.”

After telling Flechtner that he’s ‘amazing’ and ‘so cool’, Harbour shakes his hand and tells him: “Thank you for all you do, I appreciate it.”

Flechtner - who I am sensing is a big fan - then tells Harbour that it’s ‘one of his favourite voices’ to do, prompting more gratitude.

Harbour replies: “That’s so cool. Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I really appreciate you making me palatable for the German audience.”

The pair share a couple more laughs before posing a storm side-by-side as the ‘voice and the real one’, sounds like a good name for a sitcom, to be fair.

The clip, which was filmed last year, has been shared online where the charming interaction has attracted plenty of attention.

Commenting on the clip, one fan said: “That's exactly what we all want to see!”

Another wrote: “It's amazing, they're even visually similar.”

A third said: “It must be such an unforgettable feeling when you meet the actor you are dubbing yourself.”

Someone else wrote: “Wow, both absolute legends! I really got goosebumps.”

Fans of the show may be excited to learn that the Duffer Brothers recently shared a little sneak look at how season five of the popular show plays out.

The official X account for the writers posted a tweet that read: "Season 5. Chapter 1. Scene 1.

“The sound of COLD WIND. GROANING TREES.

“And…

“A CHILD’S VOICE. Singing a familiar song.”

And…. Yep that’s it. That’s how the fifth and final season begins.
