Emmys host Anthony Anderson was rushed to the emergency room Thursday after a stunt went awry on the set of his new action movie G20. The 53-year-old black-ish star later posted a picture to Instagram showing himself lying on a stretcher.
“I spent the night in the emergency room. Movie set fight gone wrong,” Anderson told his followers. ‘Me against two goons and a chair! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who! I’m not as young as I used to be,” the actor joked.
Luckily, the veteran performer didn’t incur any major injuries due to the fracas. “CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion,” Anderson reported. “That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
Anderson later shared a photo of the “menacing” chair, revealing some details of the attack. “This is the chair that whooped my ass last night! It sucker punched me in the kidneys and back with no mercy,” the actor reported. “When I got on set today it was grinning at me!”
But the comedian promised he would exact his revenge on the violent seat. “Little does he know I got something for that ass,” Anderson said. “He gone learn today!”
“You are not made of rubber,” Anderson’s black-ish co-star Tracee Ellis Ross wrote in the comments. “I’m so glad you are ok.”
It doesn’t appear that Anderson’s injury significantly disrupted G20’s production, which is taking place in Cape Town, South Africa. The Amazon MGM Studios thriller stars Viola Davis as the president of the United States, who must protect other world leaders when terrorists disrupt the G20 summit. Davis and Anderson star alongside Clark Gregg (Agents of Shield) and Elizabeth Marvel (The Color Purple).
