Harbour's Extreme Physical Transformations

Harbour has changed his look many times for different roles.

• Lost a significant amount of weight for a role in "Stranger Things."
• Went from 270 pounds to 190 pounds.
• Achieved this by fasting, eating healthier foods, and intense workouts.
• Gained weight back to play Santa Claus in "Violent Night."
• Vowed not to undergo such extreme changes again.

Personal Struggles in the Spotlight

Harbour has also been in the news for personal reasons:

• His estranged wife, Lily Allen, released an album that seemed to accuse him of cheating.
• His co-star from "Stranger Things," Millie Bobby Brown, reportedly filed a complaint against him.

The Pressure on Actors

It is interesting to see how actors change their looks for roles. It shows how committed they are to their craft. But it also makes us think about the pressure they face to look a certain way. It is important to remember that actors are people too. They have personal lives and struggles.
