Before the shooting of "Rough Neighborhood," Jared had never worn contacts before. It took 3 people holding his eyes open for nearly 2 hours to get the fake "ice-blue" contacts in. The whole production was held up, because they couldn't keep his eyes open. After finally getting them in they hurt non-stop, and it took over a week for His eyes to stop being red and swollen.
