Here is what David Harbour has to say on his journey as Jim Hopper through Stranger Things and his upcoming movies and plays in future.

David Harbour on Hopper’s Fate and What More He Has in Store After ‘Stranger Things’ 4

Stranger Things’ latest season saw some drastic changes among all its
characters. From the teenage kids turning into young adults and the ones with
dad bods into some macho man, we saw it all. Take look at what our favorite
David Harbour aka Jim Hopper, had to say about Strangers Things 4, the
yet-to-come final season, and a lot more of his upcoming movies and shows.


DAVID HARBOUR’S INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE LATEST SEASONS
OF STRANGERS THINGS



Bringing in such tremendous changes in physical appearance takes a lot for any
actor, and so it did for David Harbour too. Months of vigorous exercise and a
neck-tight diet with a heavy schedule resulted in what the fourth and the most
intense season yet, demanded of Hopper.

The star even had to control his appetite to shoot some of his scenes, like the
one showdown scene with the Russians. Others that had him shirtless required an
even tighter check on his diet. In contrast to his overweight body in season
one, his present image is one of a much healthier man.

It was evident in how Hopper ordered his lasagna on the set, had the entire tray
to himself, and dove in like a maniac. Having to spend time in an actual Russian
prison to get the scenes on point, our man deserves an Eggo’s breakfast, at
least occasionally, for giving us those utterly savage scenes right off the bat.


WHERE ELSE SHOULD WE EXPECT DAVID HARBOUR APART FROM STRANGER THINGS?

After having his fair share of spine-chilling scenes in Stranger Things, the
actor is currently preparing to appear in Theresa. It is in Rebeck’s latest
play, Mad House, which will be available in Ambassador Theatre in London by
September 4th. Struggling through schizophrenia, David Harbour, as Michael, is
discharged from a mental institution. Things only worsen as he now has to look
after his dying father while handling his own health. In addition to the already
tense situation, his siblings arrive who do not really help to cope with their
issues.

Given David’s personal problems with bipolar disorder, merely in his 20s, it
makes it an even more sensitive role for him to play the part. With the grand
success of Strangers Things, David has been offered roles to play in various
plays and movies. For instance, Rolodex of great roles” from Tennessee Williams,
Eugene O’Neill, and Shakespeare. “I realized I would like to do a new play and I
would like it to be a woman’s voice. And immediately Theresa popped into my
mind.” Said
