Stranger Things star Eduardo Franco has revealed his jaw-dropping body transformation which took just three months as he takes on a new film role.

The actor, 31, who is best known for playing pizza delivery boy Argyle in the hit Netflix series, has landed a role in an exciting new film that requires him to take off his top in the opening scene.

Speaking in a video for his gym S10 Training, the star said: ‘On July 14th I got the word I got this job. I knew from the script that my character appears in the very beginning of the movie and he is shirtless. 

‘I said ok, I’m taking it upon myself, I’d like to look as lean as possible for that scene. And then I came out here, my trainer Bowen linked me with Stephen here at S10.

‘I had no prior experience with any strength training whatsoever. Stephen really did take care of me, it was super dope.’

Pointing to his trainer, he said: ‘This is the guy behind almost every physique in Hollywood.’

The show’s final-ever episode – Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up – dropped on December 31 in the US and January 1 in the UK.

In the finale, fans watched Mike Wheeler (Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the rest of the gang try and take down Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) and the Mind Flayer, as well as try and close the gap between the real world and the Upside Down.

The evil characters are killed by El and they successfully managed to close the gap.

Now, Netflix has announced and released a teaser for One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5.

The documentary gives fans an insight into the years of work that went into the beloved show’s last-ever series.

One Last Adventure will be released on the streaming platform at 8am GMT on January 12.

During the trailer, several stars are overcome with emotion, including Millie and Noah Schnapp, both 21.
