David Harbour said that he lost a third of his body weight.
His character was taken from Indiana to a Russian prison camp.
Harbour said he wouldn't do that again after losing the weight.
David Harbour said that he wouldn't want to undergo the physical transformation that he did four season four of "Stranger Things," in which he dropped close to a third of his body weight to match his character Hopper's imprisonment in a Russian prison camp.
After the show faked out Hopper's death, Hopper was captured by Russians and taken to a prison camp in Russia. Harbour had to slim down for the new season because he had to go from a small town detective to a prisoner.
The actor said that he lost the weight in about eight months through intermittent fasting and yoga.
Harbour said he wouldn't do that again.
Harbour has talked about his fans' reception to him and his character's changing appearance. He commented on an article about the phrase "dad Bod" in an interview with the magazine.
Harbour said he has a funny relationship with the father. I love it because it's very serious. I believe that I have become a sex symbol of our time.
People are digging Hopper. I'm a little large and a little chubby. I like the idea of real people on TV. I like the idea of making people feel appreciated.
According to Harbour, he gained the weight back for his upcoming movie, "Violent Night."
He said that he wouldn't lose the weight again. The Prosthetics are great.
