Kevin Costner in 2016 he was forced to shoot a very important film for his career, The right to count, under the constant effect of morphine. This was due to a condition that subjected him to terrible trauma and physical pain. The actor himself confessed this on the sidelines of the launch of his new work Horizon, in an interview with People: “I’ve never worked drunk on a set. I’ve never worked under the influence of drugs on a set, but I experimented with morphine in 2016. It was tough.”
Kevin Costner’s words
During the filming of the film The Right to Count, directed by Theodore Melfi and released in 2016, Kevin Costner had serious problems with kidney stones: “I worked for more than ten days under an IV. For about three days I was normal and then something happened to me.” Kevin Costner has never missed a day of work: “For this, I literally walked around with a morphine drip in my arm.” Unfortunately, however, the pain was severe and when he had to turn he had to detach himself from the drip.
“I wanted to cry, but everyone was watching, so I didn’t.”
Kevin Costner revealed that it was really difficult to complete his work because the pain was so strong: “I wanted to cry but everyone was watching so in the end I didn’t.” In the film “Hidden Figures”, Kevin Costner plays the character of Al Harrison, team leader of the space task force that serves as the backdrop to the great story of African-American mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, played by Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae. Despite everything, Kevin Costner said he has fond memories of filming: “I loved meeting up with Octavia Spencer, every time we were on set it was magic.” The two had already shared the set in 2014 in the drama “Black or White”.
