Josh Hartnett Reveals Why He Couldn’t Walk for 10 Days While Filming Verity
Some of Josh Hartnett‘s days on set ended with some much-needed rest.
As the actor reflected on starring as Jeremy Crawford in the new movie Verity, he shared insight into filming the Colleen Hoover adaptation amid a harrowing illness.
“It was food poisoning, but it was a terrible food poisoning,” Hartnett said on the Oct. 1 episode of SiriusXM’s Front Row podcast. “What it was is that I couldn’t walk because my muscles had all seized up.”
“It was really only about 10 days that I couldn’t walk, honestly,” he continued, noting that it was “only a few days of shooting.”
Meanwhile, director Michael Showalter revealed what days on set were like for Hartnett, who starred opposite Anne Hathaway‘s Verity Crawford and Dakota Johnson‘s Lowen Ashleigh.
“For most of the movie, when Josh isn’t on camera, he’s lying down being tended to,” he explained. “Josh was battling some very, very, very serious thing.”
