Jamie Foxx glued his eyelids shut for the film Ray.
This one is on Ray director Taylor Hackford. To play the famous blind artist Ray Charles, Foxx was asked by the director to wear prosthetics to mimic Charles's damaged eyelids. Foxx admitted to having panic attacks throughout the first two weeks of filming.
Charles himself approved of Foxx getting the role, so Foxx's talent should have been enough instead of unnecessarily stressing out the actor.
Me too, Pal.
