‘Stranger Things’: David Harbor talks about his spectacular body transformation

When David Harbor first appeared in Season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’, fans were in awe of his weight loss as they were used to Sheriff Jim Hopper being a bit heavier.

In the scene where the character appears shirtless and scarred, it is clear how he suffered during the months of incarceration in this Russian prison.

To achieve the desired result, he had to lose 35 kg in eight months of diet and exercise supervised by personal trainer David Higgins.

Describing the experience as a dramatic adventure, Harbor recorded the body change in some posts on her Instagram profile.

In a recent post, he explained that he had to go through the accordion effect because he needed to gain weight to play Santa Claus in the upcoming action movie “Violent Night.”

“Many of you have asked about Hopper’s physical transformation from season 3 to season 4. My trainer @davidhigginslondon worked with me for 8 months to do the transformation and then another year to maintain it during the pandemic Everyone said it was a tough and exciting adventure, changing diet and exercise plans (or lack thereof) The second photo is of me and David the week we started, with my stamina and burning fury. And pic three is the day we started filming, the black x’s are for the scars done in CGI due to practical effect issues. I lost over 35 kg. Then I had to gain weight to play Santa Claus in ‘Violent Night’ and I can’t wait for you to see the results, but still, I’m struggling to get back into good physical shape for Season 5. [de ‘Stranger Things’]. This accordion effect isn’t good for the body, but it’s so fun to have to live in a different version of yourself for a while.

Have fun watching:

It should be remembered that before losing weight, Harbor had already gained even more weight to give life to Alexei Shostakov in “Black Widow”.

It was during this time that he met Lily Allen, whom he eventually married.

In an interview with The New York Times, he joked that she really liked him after meeting him with an unpleasant appearance.

“The fact that she loves me is a true testament to my undeniable charisma. Like, she met me when I was around 115kg and one had a scruffy beard and messy hair.

Now, all we can do is wait for further updates on Hopper’s look once Harbor releases new photos and videos from her workout for the 5th season of “Stranger Things.”

Remember that all episodes of season 4 are now available on Netflix.
