Press release - 23 January, 2018
London, 23 January 2018 - 'Stranger Things' star David Harbour is set to 'dance with penguins' in the Antarctic after the actor's latest Twitter challenge went viral yesterday.
'Stranger Things' star David Harbour tweeted his latest Twitter challenge at Greenpeace yesterday, asking if Greenpeace would take him somewhere he could dance with penguins.
Following a series of escalating Twitter challenges, the actor's challenge was set this time at 200,000 retweets. In just five hours, David reached the target. Our response: “Get your thermals.”
Frida Bengtsson, speaking from on board Greenpeace’s Protect the Antarctic expedition on the Arctic Sunrise, said:
‘We challenged. And he delivered. David Harbour, get your thermals because we are taking you to dance with penguins and help us create the biggest protected area on Earth: an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.’
