Kevin Costner reveals how far he went for 'Hidden Figures'

Kevin Costner made a shocking revelation about his performance in hidden figures.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the 69-year-old actor recalled working on the true story of three black women's contributions to the space race in the 1960s.

Kevin, who played the role of Al Harrison in the film, revealed how sick he was during filming.

“I've never worked drunk on a set. I've never worked high on a set, but I was taking morphine the last two weeks I worked on [Hidden Figures]“the Oscar-winning actor said.

Kevin went on to share that he developed kidney stones on set and “worked 10 days on an IV drip.”

“I don't even know how. Like three days and then something happened to me,” she added.

Kevin claimed he “never missed a day of work” and continued, “I sat in my trailer with a morphine drip in my arm.”

However, he later had to roll up his sleeves to shoot, in order to hide the bruises from the IV.

“I had to cry at the end. I wanted to cry, but everyone was looking at me, so I didn’t,” he concluded, admitting that the moment was “quite painful” for him.
