Vecna, the terrifying villain from the fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’, has given a lot to talk about, but what has attracted the most attention is the imposing makeup with which Jamie Campbell Bower has been characterized.
The networks filled with memes with pictures and videos of Vecna in the middle of the shoot. We saw him talking on the phone or having a coffee while the team of makeup artist Barrie Gower did some spectacular characterization work. In an interview for the American radio Sirius XM, the interpreter of the great villain of ‘Stranger Things’, Jamie Campbell Bower, has revealed some curiosities about the shooting.
We were already familiar with the long sessions of up to seven and a half hours that the actor underwent to embody his character in the series. However, Bower explained a little more about the makeup and complications while filming: “The bottom half of the dress, roughly from the waist down, was a bit like the pants I was supposed to wear. Everything else is glued, but the bottom half is the pants, and I was like a flap, a fucking flap from my chest to under my butt”. The actor also added: “And it’s like, poor Duncan Jarman, I had to put on my dress every day, I had to be there every day. To go pee … it’s just that he also had these huge hands with those huge fingers and nails. Glued together. I couldn’t. touch anything without everything falling apart “..
It’s not turkey mucus
Bower recounted how he had some awkward encounters with peerswho had to help him: “If I needed to use the bathroom, I’d ask Duncan to unzip me. And then there’s that little zipper … That’s it.”.
Knowing how complex the process of going to the bathroom alone was, Bower confessed that he often held back longer than usual: “I can’t remember who I was working with, I think it was Sadie Sink, who plays Max, and we did a great job and the camera was on me and [los directores] dull and red [Duffer] They were like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I was like, ‘No, I pee a lot’ “.
Bower isn’t the only one who struggled with this makeup thing while filming; Indeed, Jennifer Lawrence shared in her day the concern with which she filmed characterized as Mystique, which is why she would abandon the character of “X-Men”. We still don’t know if the fifth season will be the definitive end of ‘Stranger Things’.
