‘Stranger Things’ actor Eduardo Franco reveals jaw-dropping body transformation for new film role

Eduardo Franco, aka Argyle from ‘Stranger Things’ has undergone a dramatic physique transformation after putting in some serious graft in the gym. The jaw-dropping transformation comes as Franco is all set to take on a new film role. The 31-year-old actor revealed on social media that the new role requires him to take off his top in the opening scene.

Franco dropped a training clip onto his Instagram with his shirt off. The caption said: ‘3 months of hard work and discipline’ and the difference speaks for itself.

A new film role led to Eduardo Franco’s transformation

Speaking about the role in a video posted on his Instagram, the actor 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.”

He also shared that he decided on becoming the leanest possible he can. “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,” said Franco.

It was Eduardo Franco’s first time for such intense training

The actor-comedian revealed that despite having no prior strength training, Stephen took care of him. “I had no prior experience with any strength training whatsoever. Stephen really did take care of me, it was super dope,” Franco added. Pointing to his trainer, he said, “This is the guy behind almost every physique in Hollywood.” Eduardo locked in a workout plan with trainer Stephen Cheuk.
