“David’s hair is literally Steve”: David Harbour and Winona Ryder’s Photo From Decades Ago Will Give Strong Steve and Nancy Vibe to Stranger Things Fans
- David Harbour and Winona Ryder have their own iconic roles in ‘Stranger Things.’
- However, a vintage photo of them sparks Steve-Nancy comparisons.
- Fans see a strong resemblance, imagining them as the two characters.
A throwback photo of David Harbour and Winona Ryder has fans saying they would have made a great Steve and Nancy in Stranger Things. The way these actors resemble the characters is making everyone nostalgic.
Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) are main characters in the Netflix series. Initially, Steve was Nancy’s boyfriend, but they broke up in Season 2. After that, Steve became a key ally to the kids and a fan favorite.
In Season 3, Steve developed feelings for Robin (Maya Hawke). Meanwhile, Nancy rekindled her romance with Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) in Season 2, and they stay together throughout the series.
The Young David Harbour and Winona Ryder Evokes Steve-Nancy Vibes
A recent photo has popped up on Instagram featuring a young David Harbour and Winona Ryder. Their retro 80s style makes them look just like Steve and Nancy from Stranger Things.
Fans quickly noticed the strong resemblance between the actors and their on-screen co-stars’ characters. It’s a fun bit of fan fiction that lets people dream about what might have been. Check out some fan comments:
Another enthusiastic fan commented, “If Stranger Things had been made in the 80’s they would have been the right ones to play Steve and Nancy.”
Third fan chimed in, “Real Steve and Nancy from the 90s.”
No doubt, the idea of young Harbour and Ryder as Steve and Nancy is fantastic. However, both stars have already made their mark with amazing characters of their own. Harbour played Jim Hopper (the police chief in Hawkins, Indiana), while Ryder portrayed Joyce Byers (the mother of Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp).
In Season 4, it is revealed that Hopper and Joyce do have feelings for each other, and they share a romantic kiss. But this development is a slow burn throughout the series, and they don’t become a couple until later on.
