Kevin Costner Tried to Keep His Disease a Secret, Now We Know

Kevin Costner has been relatively private about certain health issues, but in a recent interview, he revealed that he was dealing with painful kidney stones while filming Hidden Figures in 2016. He worked through the pain for about 10 days while receiving treatment via a morphine drip, even keeping an IV in his arm during breaks to manage the discomfort. Despite this, he continued working and didn’t miss any days on set【7†source】.
