George Clooney recently revealed that his last role as an actor in the movie "Midnight Sky", caused him to be hospitalized for several days.
The reason for the hospitalization was a rapid weight loss of about 11.3 kilograms as part of the preparation for the role in the film.
"I think I tried to lose weight too fast and too extreme and did not keep myself going," said the 59-year-old actor who plays astronaut and old scientist Lufthansa Augustine, who is trying to warn a team of astronauts returning from a space mission from Jupiter from a catastrophe on Earth.
Clooney, who also directed the film, added that "it took me a few weeks to feel better. When you're also the director of the film it's not easy because I had to expend a lot of energy during the filming."
According to reports Clooney, he was rushed to the hospital four days before he had to start filming for Netflix.
Doctors examined him and found that he had damaged his pancreas.
Such an injury could also be life-threatening, but in the case of Clooney he was quickly released from the hospital.
Weight loss was not the only change George Clooney underwent for the role, he also grew a beard.
He said, "I raised a big, ugly beard for this job. My little son really liked the beard because things could be hidden in it. I would come to work and say, 'Oops, my popsicle is stuck in my beard.' It's very difficult to find my face under all this mess. "
The movie "Midnight Sky" is based on the novel "Good Morning, Midnight" by Lily Brooks-Dalton.
This is a disaster film in which the world mysteriously darkens.
An aging scientist named Augustine, who is alone in the North Pole, is trying to warn a team of astronauts returning from a space mission to Jupiter about what awaits them on Earth.
The film will be uploaded to Netflix on December 23.
