Caleb McLaughlin gave one of his best performances in Stranger Things as he talked about the most challenging part of it.

&#8220;It definitely took a lot out of me”: Caleb McLaughlin Opens Up About THAT Scene From The &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Season 4 Finale

The 20-year-old Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin playing Lucas Sinclair
became a fan favorite this season. His performance has never been this
remarkable as we see a shining Hawkins High basketball player finding himself
crushed between his relationships and rising social profile. But the boy did
make fans cry in the “Piggybank” episode giving a masterful performance.



The season came with a vigilant warning that it’s gonna shake off your soul to
the bottom. However, the final scene with Max affected not just fans but also
Caleb. Recently, the actor finally shed some light on the heart-wrenching scene
from volume 2. Read on to know more about how he dealt with such an emotionally
affecting scene with Sadie Sink.

THINGS 4

In season 4, we saw Lucas was stranded by his childhood friends and his
girlfriend Max Mayfield

who had shut him off as she grieved. Soon, he became occupied with the
basketball group that was an elite group. And he started liking the company of
people who had higher social grounds and couldn’t resist it.



Like any other teenager who wants to become a popular high school kid, Lucas
fought to win favor with his basketball teammates. There’s much more that Caleb
McLaughlin has been wanting to share about his character but wasn’t able to
prior to the season’s premiere. However, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair
[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/07/stranger-things-caleb-mclaughlin-interview-season-4-volume-2],
McLaughlin expressed his excitement over being able to talk about his character
after the release.

The young actor stated how the scene of Max in Vecna’s clutches physically
drained him

There was a lot of sobbing and screaming in the scene when Max’s bones break and
she falls in his arms. Left on the verge of death, Max loses her sight crying
she doesn’t wanna die. Moreover, when she stops breathing, Lucas is devastated.

“I lost my voice that week. It definitely took a lot out of me,” said Caleb as
it took a lot of energy. He was lying on the floor for about 20 to 30 seconds
after they wrapped the scene. The actor also revealed that both of them had no
rehearsal time. Duffer Brothers
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-fans-furious-over-duffer-brothers-attempt-to-whitewash-creepy-jonathan-byers-deeds-from-stranger-things-season-1/]
told him after he reached on the set that they are doing the scene today. So
neither of them had much time to prepare and they never talked much about the
portrayal.

Well, it is incredible to see how natural the scene looked and fans went crazy
after watching that horrible scene. They praised both the actors for pouring
truest of their emotions in the killing scene.
