David Harbour's story about an awkward failed hug is painfully relatable
Watch Next

David Harbour may have a nice new suit and some exceedingly sculpted facial hair, but he's still a self-confessed awkward hugger.

The tale he tells Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above, about trying (and failing) to hug the man who made his suit in Paris, is filled with exactly the same type of awkwardness you wouldn't normally expect from a polished Hollywood A-lister.

Well, turns out actors are just as socially awkward as the rest of us.
