Kevin Costner Reveals He Was Very Sick, on Morphine While Filming 'Hidden Figures'

Kevin Costner is sharing a surprising update from the set of 2016′s Hidden Figures.

The 69-year-old actor opened up about the movie, which followed the true story of three brilliant Black women’s contributions to the Space Race in the 1960s. He played NASA’s Al Harrison, and as it turns out, he was sick during most of the shoot.

“I’ve never worked drunk on a set. I’ve never worked high on a set, but I was on morphine the last two weeks that I worked on [Hidden Figures],” he told People.

While filming, he developed kidney stones and says he “worked 10 days under an IV drip. I don’t even know how. About three days of it I was normal and then something happened to me.”

He added he “never missed a day of work,” but, “I sat in my trailer with a morphine drip in my arm.”

Soon, he says he had to keep his sleeves rolled down while shooting to hide the IV bruising.

“Eventually I had to,” he said, adding that the experience was quite painful.

“I wanted to cry, but there was everybody watching, so I didn’t.”
