Netflix, as E! News says, has done it again.

When the popular streaming service first released its newest series, “Stranger Things,” fans quickly became obsessed. From Gaten Matarazzo’s cleidocranial dysplasia to David Harbour’s heartwarming, dynamic role as Chief Hopper to Shannon Purser’s unfortunate fate as Barb, “Stranger Things” has become one of the most talked about series of the year.

In this satirical video, however, Harbour comically reveals that he originally wanted Millie Bobby Brown’s current role as Eleven, the young girl with psychokinetic gifts.

In Funny or Die’s video above, Harbour talks about how excited he was for the show. “I’m a hardcore ‘80s sci-fi type of guy,” Harbour says. But then he reveals that he had a “very strong vision for” Eleven’s character. Watch as Harbour fakes a nosebleed, tries to crush a Coke can with his mind and wears Eleven’s pink dress and blonde wig.

Do you think he’s suited for the role? If you do, perhaps you should, as he suggests in the video, check out his new entertaining series coming next fall: “New Eleven.”
