Wednesday fans are blown away after seeing how Thing is filmed in each shot

Netflix's 'Wednesday' has returned for a second series - and it's promised to be better than ever with a whole host of celebs added to the cast, including Joanna Lumley and Billie Piper. Lady Gaga even made a subtle appearance after the sped-up version of her song 'Bloody Mary' reached new heights of popularity thanks to the first season of the show.

However, many people were left wondering whether 'Thing' from the show is CGI. For those not in the know, Thing from The Addams Family is a disembodied hand that serves as a loyal and helpful companion to the family.

In the Netflix spin-off series, Thing is portrayed by 28-year-old Victor Dorobantu, a Romanian magician, but people were shocked to learn there was a person behind the hand.

Victor shared some behind-the-scenes footage of him portraying the unusual character, and some people said he had the "hardest job on the set".

Taking to X, someone wrote: "Rather than relying entirely on CGI, Thing was performed by Romanian magician and actor Victor Dorobantu, who wore a specially designed costume and prosthetics."

His costume was blue with a hood so that he could be edited out of the background easily.

In the comments of Victor's video, someone wrote: "Imagine telling the grandkids you were in the Wednesday series, every time thing comes on ‘that’s me’. So cool to know it was a person and not CGI."

Another said: "Wow I actually thought Thing was like an AI type of thing. Not going to lie, he has the hardest job on set. That looks like a good workout lol."

Somebody else shared: "The way I checked IMDB so fast this season to make sure it was you again before watching!! I was so stoked it was... love how you play Thing."

"This is INCREDIBLY cool! I’m so happy you shared this," a woman praised him.

A man penned: "Dang I never thought it was actually someone’s hand I thought it was just animated."

An Instagram user shared he must have a lot of strength, writing: "I know it takes immense shoulder strength to be able to pull off something like this. I know your shoulders are well built. I know your shoulders hurt."

"Ok, no, but in all seriousness, the way this dude communicates and sends feelings across the screen is beyond me," a fan praised.

Some tried to put the actor down, though, saying: "All this technology we have and there was no room for a robot hand? But I guess this makes it look more realistic."
