Jamie Campbell Bower is back on top of the wave thanks to his participation in the acclaimed fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’ as the ally that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) finds in the lab when she is a girl and who turns out to be One. and then the terrible Vecna. But much earlier, in the early 2000s, he became one of the biggest young promises by chaining together big projects like ‘Sweeney Todd, the evil barber of Fleet Street’, the ‘Twilight’ saga or ‘Harry Potter’, where he played a young Gellert Grindelwald. He even led the cast of “Shadowhunters: City of Bones”, one of many attempts to adapt a juvenile saga to repeat the success of JK Rowling’s wizard or Stephenie Meyer’s vampires, and which ended, like almost everyone at the time, like a failure.
The actor went from being everywhere to practically disappearing from the map until a few years later, turning to other areas of his life, such as music with his Counterfeit group. in a couple of tweets recently published he explained that that time when he seemed to have everything was also the darkest moment of his life: “Twelve and a half years ago I had an active addiction. I hurt myself and those I loved most. I got to the point where I ended up in a mental health hospital”.
But ever since he talked about his drug problem a few years ago, he has also promised himself that it would be a ray of hope. Here’s why he adds: “Now I’m seven and a half clean and sober. I have made many mistakes in my life, but every day is an opportunity to start over. To learn from mistakes and grow. For anyone who wakes up thinking “heck, not again”, I promise you there is a way. I am very grateful to be where I am, very grateful to be sober. I am very grateful that I am. Remember, we are all ongoing projects. J x “.
What can we expect from the fifth season?
Vecna will continue to give Hawkins boys and girls a hard time in the fifth and final season of ‘Stranger Things’. The Duffer brothers have not yet given many details on the last chapters of the series, but they have ensured that the episodes will be shorter than those of the fourth season, except for the last one, which will probably have the duration of a movie again. They also stated that Hawkins will be the only scenario for the adventures and that they intend to “close the circle” with a lot of nods to the first season., in case you want to update it. There is currently no release date for the ending of “Stranger Things” on Netflix.
