"I ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie," Kutcher told reporters Friday at the Sundance Film Festival, where the film premiered, The Asociated Press reports. "I was doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack - which was completely terrifying, considering everything." (Jobs died of pancreatic cancer in 2011.)
Even aside from the physical complications, Kutcher said portraying the tech icon was "honestly one of the most terrifying things I've ever tried to do in my life." Check out a photo of him as Jobs here.
