‘Brutal’ diet of Stranger Things David
STRANGER Things star David Harbour has told how he starved himself to lose nearly six stone.
The actor, 47, who plays teacher Jim Hopper and is wed to singer Lily Allen, went from 19st 4lb to 13st 7lb in eight months.
His weight had left him “in a bad way” with hip, knee and leg problems.
After meeting personal trainer David Higgins he tried intermittent fasting, “a big fad diet that really worked for me”. He added: “It’s basically just being hungry. I remember going to bed very angry and hungry… but I stuck with it. I was so motivated.
“Greek yoghurt and a little meagre salad for lunch… it was brutal”.
The Netflix hit explains the change by sending Jim to a Russian labour camp.
