David Harbour<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about becoming a sex symbol and how his \u201cdad bod\u201d is viewed in society.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a funny relationship with this dad bod thing. I sort of love it and the reason why I love it is actually very serious,\u201d the 43-year-old Stranger Things<\/em> actor said in an interview with CNET<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI do think that in a certain way, I\u2019ve become a bit of a sex symbol for our time \u2014 there are articles about people digging Hopper. But I\u2019m also like a little big and a little chubby. I love the idea of real bodies on television. And I love the idea of making real people beautiful and loved,\u201d David<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n David<\/strong> continued by saying that he hopes to stop seeing unrealistic bodies in the media.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Hopper is so loved and he\u2019s got a real body like I have a real body. I\u2019m sick of these bodies on television that are impossibly thin \u2014 and the guys train for months and months and then they even stop eating a couple of days before and dehydrate to look a certain way. I want people to feel good in their bodies, like I\u2019m sick of twigs on both ends of the spectrum, men and women. I\u2019m totally tired of twigs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI want people to love their bodies. Look, I don\u2019t want you to be unhealthy. I want you to take care of yourself, take care of your heart. We don\u2019t want you to be obese. But these impossible standards that Hollywood sets \u2014 I don\u2019t find those people sexy anymore. I find them narcissistic and I find them cruel to culture because I think that art is meant to lead people. I don\u2019t want that cruelty in our bodies anymore,\u201d David<\/strong> concluded. \u201cI want more big girls in leading roles. I want big guys in leading-man roles. I want them to be the hero.\u201d<\/p>\n
