Josh Brolin has revealed that his Jonah Hex costume gave him an eye infection.

The Oscar winning actor is back on the big screen this summer as DC Comic character Jonah Hex is just the latest to get a big screen makeover.

Brolin takes on the central role, and stars alongside Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender and John Malkovich, and admits that the makeup required for the movie left him unable to eat properly.

Speaking to ContactMusic he said: We actually had the eye, which is in the comic book and I started to get an infection within the hour. I'm not that dedicated.

On a lot of movies you say, 'I worked 14 hours a day,' when really you only worked six and you're in your trailer playing Nintendo the rest of the time. We actually worked 14, 16 hours a day, so I couldn't eat that whole time.

"I would stuff myself in the morning and then just drink water throughout the whole day and it was 100 degrees. It was a pain."

Despite this Brolin admits that he would happily reprise the character if a sequel was on the cards: "Would I do it again? Yeah. It's like having a baby, you know? Now, I look at the end result and I go that's pretty cool."

However a sequel may not be on the cards for Brolin and co as the movie struggled at the U.S. box office this weekend as it too just $5.08 million and opened in eighth.
