What happened to his eye


He always had lazy eye but in the movie "Southpaw' it looks different. The eye was white/cloudy, like a Cataract. Did they put on a contact lens for the part in the movie or did his eye get a Cataract or something like it?

I wasn't aware of that because the first time I saw him was in 'The Crying Game' and I thought his eye was dropping like that because he was roughed up by the IRA terrorists, so it was makeup for the movie. But then I saw him in other movies and his eye still looked like that.

He supposed to be the black kid in Porky's but he got his eye poked-out in one of the shower scene rehearsals.

His eye always had something wrong with it, but this id something new. Did you see the movie "Southpaw"? If you did see it in in that picture it looked milky white.

He was supposedly looking into surgery because the condition was exacerbating and starting to obstruct his vison. Could he have already had it?

Apparently still hasn’t had the surgery
