Austin Butler went temporarily blind and thought he “was dying”

In a recent interview, the talented actor Austin Butler opened up about a terrifying incident that he experienced while filming for his upcoming movie ‘Eddington’. The 29-year-old star revealed that he went temporarily blind and thought he was dying during the shoot.

Butler, who is known for his roles in popular TV shows like ‘The Carrie Diaries’ and ‘The Shannara Chronicles’, shared the details of the incident in an interview with NME. He recalled how he suddenly lost his vision while filming a scene for the movie.

“I remember I was in the middle of a scene and suddenly everything went black. I couldn’t see anything and I started panicking. I thought I was dying,” Butler said.

The actor further explained that he was taken to the hospital immediately and was diagnosed with temporary blindness caused by a severe migraine. He also revealed that he has been suffering from migraines since he was a child, but this was the first time it had affected his vision.

“It was a scary experience, but thankfully it was just temporary. I have been dealing with migraines since I was a kid, but this was the first time it affected my vision. It was a wake-up call for me to take better care of my health,” Butler shared.

The incident not only affected Butler physically but also mentally. He admitted that it was a challenging time for him, but he was determined to overcome it and continue filming for the movie.

“It was tough, but I didn’t want to let my team down. I pushed through and with the support of my co-stars and crew, I was able to finish filming for the movie,” Butler said.

Despite the scary incident, Butler is excited for the release of ‘Eddington’. The movie, which is set to release later this year, follows the story of a young man who discovers his true identity and embarks on a journey to save his kingdom from an evil force.

Butler’s co-star, Vanessa Hudgens, also praised his dedication and professionalism during the filming of the movie. She said, “Austin is a true professional. Despite facing a health scare, he never let it affect his work. He is a talented actor and I am proud to have worked with him.”

Butler’s fans were also relieved to hear that he has fully recovered from the incident and are eagerly waiting to see him on the big screen once again. The actor, who has a huge fan following, has received an outpouring of love and support from his fans on social media.

The incident may have been a scary one, but it has also taught Butler the importance of taking care of one’s health. He hopes that by sharing his experience, he can raise awareness about migraines and encourage others to prioritize their health.

As we eagerly wait for the release of ‘Eddington’, let us also take a moment to appreciate Butler’s dedication and determination. He has shown us that no matter what challenges come our way, we can overcome them with a positive attitude and the support of our loved ones.
