Midnight in the Universe
, a sci-fi film expected to hit Netflix on December 23, which he directed and stars as a scientist with cancer.
In order to slip into the skin of the character, the American actor followed a drastic diet and lost 12 kg in a very short time.
A rapid weight loss that led the unforgettable interpreter of Dr. Doug Ross to the emergency room.
"I think I tried to lose weight too fast, that I didn't take enough care of myself," the actor told the British tabloid
Mirror.
Four days before the film's shooting in the Arctic, the 59-year-old star was rushed to hospital with severe stomach pain.
Diagnosis of doctors?
Pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas.
After a few weeks of recovery, the Oscar winner was able to start shooting late: “It took a few weeks to get better and as a director it's not that easy because you need the energy.
"But it certainly helped me with my character," he concluded.
