Bettany's Eye Bleed: Vision's Painful Method
1 Nov
Summary
- Paul Bettany experienced vision impairment from a scene.
- He blew out blood vessels while overacting intensely.
- Bettany is myopic, ironically portraying an AI.
Paul Bettany, who portrays the AI Vision in the Disney+ series VisionQuest, revealed a challenging moment from filming. During a scene where he was simulating a device affecting his brain, Bettany's intense overacting led to him rupturing approximately 10 blood vessels in his eye. The injury left his eye red for about two weeks, a condition he humorously noted likely cost the production significant CGI expenses to correct.
Bettany also shared the irony of his personal vision impairment, stating he is myopic and has poor eyesight without his glasses. This personal characteristic adds an unexpected layer to his role as Vision, an AI character. The series, set after WandaVision, follows Vision as he tries to understand his identity by communicating with AI personas, embarking on a run with a teen who might be his son.
