Caleb McLaughlin knew season four of StrangerThings was going to be draining with the emotional weight his character would bear — but that also meant a deeply rich story for Lucas Sinclair
Volume 2’s arrival, the actor touched on a number of topics, including what he saw as Lucas’ master plan when he joined the basketball team and what Lucas would have written to Max in a note similar to those she penned for those in the group when she feared the worst was going to happen.
In the below chat, McLaughlin also talks about the bond he formed with his screen-sister Priah Ferguson and his emotions over the next season being the series’ grand finale. We have to start with that absolutely heartbreaking moment when it looks like all is lost and Max has died. What can you share about that day?
I didn’t even know we were doing the death scene that day. So, I just had to understand my feelings and my place in the scene. I knew my lines and what I saw prior to what was happening. I don’t really like to rehearse scenes like that because I want my natural reaction. I want to be real and raw in the moment. So, I went off the cuff, just went for it. Of course, as we did more takes, it got better and felt more real.
