Stranger Things’ Jamie Campbell Bower Needed Therapy After Playing Vecna
comingsoon.netIn , Jamie Campbell Bower plays Vecna, a murderous entity with supernatural abilities. However, playing the villain has its disadvantages, including the stress and anxiety it brings to the actor.
While speaking at MegaCon Orlando, Bower admitted that he has been talking to a therapist since playing Vecna. Bower reflected on one of his recent therapy sessions, which revolved around finding non-villainous characters to play in the future.
“We were going through some stuff, and he was like, ‘We really need to make sure that you carve out time for you whenever you’re working next,'” Bower said via People.com. “I turned around to him, and I was like, ‘Yeah, to be honest with you, man, I just don’t think I’ll be doing another bad guy for a minute.’ Like it f***ed me up. I’m dead serious.”
Bower remains grateful for the opportunity to play this memorable character. However, the actor is ready to say goodbye to his villain.
“It’s been amazing, and it’s been an incredible journey to join the show from Season 4, to be part of something that so many people love and something that I loved as well and still love,” Bower said. “But I definitely am ready to hang up the foam latex and wish him a slippery farewell.”
Stranger Things 5 will be the fifth and final season of the hit Netflix TV show. Filming on the show took place for nearly all of 2024. Season 5 production wrapped in December, and the series creators, the Duffer Brothers, are now editing the show.
Besides Bower, Stranger Things Season 5 stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Jamie Cambell Bower, Cara Buono, Amybeth McNulty, Nell Fisher, Alex Breaux, Jake Connelly, and Linda Hamilton.
Stranger Things Season 5 will be released in 2025 on Netflix.
