Vecna had one of the craziest transformations in Stranger Things but it is nothing compared it Jim Hoppers fat to fit journey.

Forget 001’s Transformation Into Vecna, We Are Here for Jim Hopper’s Transformation Into an Effing Beast

This year’s season of Stranger Things will surely go down in history for being
one of the greatest seasons of any TV show ever. The sheer magnitude of the
budget and grandeur of each episode is enough of a testament to show how serious
the series creators took the fourth entry of the hit horror drama show. And one
of the greatest things about the new season was the big baddie Vecna.



Apart from having a compelling backstory and a terrifying curse, The King of the
Upside Down was horrifying just by his looks. And the transformation of actor
Jamie Campbell [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jamie-campbell/]into Vecna is
nothing short of a miracle.

However, there is another transformation in the fourth season that might take
the cake from the villain himself. Yes! We are talking about the transformation
of David Harbour’s Jim Hopper into a complete beast in the fourth season.


JIM HOPPER BEATS VECNA FOR THE BEST TRANSFORMATION TITLE

Stranger Things has become a global phenomenon breaking every record in the book
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-stranger-things-4-breaks-back-to-back-2-netflix-records-surpassing-bridgerton-2-by-93-7-million-hours/].
And, as each season passes, the challenges to the show’s primary characters get
more severe. Thus, the characters need to be physically capable of dealing with
them.

Stranger Things 4 finds David Harbour
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/david-harbour/], who plays Jim Hopper
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/hopper/] as a prisoner in a Russian
cell. Naturally, David had to prepare himself before the shooting began
physically.

And thanks to his personal trainer, Don Saladino, we can witness just what type
of strict regiment David subjected himself to in order to get into fighting
form.

Don, who also works with Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/], posted a video of David
completing a brutal full-body workout on Instagram.

So, if you want to grow physically strong enough to combat Demogorgons, you need
to undertake the following exercises: Deadlift, Sled Push, Farmer’s Carry, and
Medicine Ball Slams.

Before appearing in the newest season of Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things], Harbour was last seen in
Marvel’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-these-max-and-wanda-parallels-would-surely-make-you-think-stranger-things-and-marvel-cinematic-universe-are-connected/]
Black Widow. This wasn’t the first time the actor underwent such transformation,
as he made some major changes to become Hellboy, as you can see below.



In the superhero movie, Harbour had a dad bod. So his transformation from a
forgotten superhero to a prisoner with a lean physique is genuinely commendable.

Which transformation do you guys love the most, Vecna

answers in the comments.
