Domhnall Gleeson: 'I lost so much weight for Unbroken role – my contact lenses wouldn't fit anymore'

Domhnall Gleeson has revealed he lost so much weight for Angelina Jolie’s new movie Unbroken – that he couldn’t even wear his contact lenses.

The About Time actor admitted that his body had changed so much, his contact lenses didn’t fit around his eyes anymore.

“It was a great experience. A tough one but a great one,” Domhnall revealed.

“Towards the end, getting toward the dehydration phase, I had to wear these contact lenses, because their eyes were red,” he said.

Unbroken: Domhnall was hungry and exhausted during filming

“My contact lenses stopped fitting my eyes, because I was so dehydrated and had lost so much weight that everything had changed.

“But we were still trying to screw them in there – and you were hungry and overworked and physically and mentally exhausted – so then it got to the place where it wasn’t much fun,” he admitted.

However filming new action flick Star Wars was definitely fun, and Domhnall admitted he got excited when he saw the first trailer had been released for the epic.

Director: Angelina Jolie was behind the camera

“It just made me very excited,” he told the Huffington Post.

“I felt like a kid again. I finished it with a big stupid smile plastered on my face. It was exactly the kind of feel that I was hoping the movie would have.

“If the movie feels the same way as the trailer, we’re going to be in good shape,” he explained.
