Cape Town, South Africa – Actor and comedian Anthony Anderson recently made headlines after spending a night in the emergency room, following an incident on the set of an undisclosed movie. The 53-year-old star took to Instagram to share a video of himself in a hospital bed, smiling and giving a peace sign.
According to his Instagram post, the incident occurred during a movie set fight, where Anderson was pitted against two individuals and a chair. Despite the ordeal, he assured his followers that he did not incur any fractures or broken bones, but rather a deep contusion. Although he did not disclose the name of the movie, his location tag indicated that he was in Cape Town, South Africa, where the filming of his upcoming movie “G20” was scheduled to take place.
“G20” features a star-studded cast, including Viola Davis, Anthony Starr, and Clark Gregg, and revolves around a terrorist attack at the annual G20 summit. While it’s unclear what role Anderson will play in the movie, the project has generated significant buzz.
In addition to his work in “G20,” Anderson recently co-hosted the A&E series “Kings of BBQ” and served as the host of the 2024 Emmys, where he charmed the audience with a nostalgic and lighthearted opening monologue. His diverse portfolio also includes a travel show with his mother, aptly titled “Trippin’ with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris.” The show was a personal endeavor for Anderson, serving as a tribute to his mother and an opportunity for them to bond while exploring the world together.
Despite the set incident, Anderson seems to be in good spirits, as evidenced by his social media posts in which he humorously engages with the chair that caused his injuries. With his comedic talents and vibrant personality, Anderson continues to be a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
