News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a fan of Netflix’s famous series ‘Stranger Things’, then you will remember how ‘Vecna’ gave everyone sleepless nights in the last season. His voice, his body and those lifeless eyes of his, the character was so real and scary that people have not been able to forget him till date. Now that the discussion about Season 5 has started, actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays this villain, has revealed a big secret.
Often we think that scary characters are just the product of hours of make-up and VFX, but listening to Jamie you will realize the extent to which one has to go through mentally to bring a ‘monster’ to life on screen.
association with darkness and hatred
Jamie explained that Vecna was not just a horror movie character. To play this, he brought out the deepest and suppressed bitterness within him. He says that the real inspiration for this character came from his feeling of being ‘different’ or ‘being thrown out’. To understand the character deeply, he spent a lot of time alone and put up posters in his room of all the things that make a person angry. His goal was to make him feel the same as Vecna when he stood in front of the camera.
It’s not just a mask, it’s a part of the soul
An interesting thing is that Jamie also studied many classic films and dreaded villains to become Vecna. He explains that he wanted a scary sound and style that would stick in people’s minds. He worked on his voice for many months, only then was he able to achieve that heavy and harsh voice that we hear from ‘Henry Creel’ in the show.
What will be special in season 5?
Since this is now the final stage of the series, Jamie says that Vecna is going to be more deadly than ever. His inspiration has now become even more personal. According to Jamie, this is not just a battle of power, but an account of the past which was buried in the depths of ‘Upside Down’ for years.
the man behind the camera
The surprising thing is that the person who is seen scaring children on screen, in real life Jamie is quite calm and funny. He told that people on the set were often afraid of him, because he would not come out of his character even in between the shots.
If you’re waiting for ‘Stranger Things 5’, be prepared. This time, through his hard work and inspiration, Jamie Campbell Bower has vowed to create a stir that the audience will remember for a long time. Vecna is coming back, and this time his vengeance will be bigger than ever.
