Kevin Costner has recalled having to film his 2016 Best Picture nominee Hidden Figures while on morphine, but never missed a day of shooting despite the pain he was in. Costner portrayed Space Task Group (STG) director Al Harrison, joining key cast members Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Mone in bringing the biopic of Black, female mathematicians at NASA to life. The movie received critical acclaim, with multiple Academy Awards nominations, including that of Best Picture. However, Costner’s time filming the movie wasn’t as smooth as his previous roles.
