Fleabag actor Andrew Scott was rushed to hospital in the middle of the SAG Awards as he experienced a medical emergency.
It was later revealed that he was suffering from a kidney stone, a condition that can cause excruciating pain.
Andrew recounted the dramatic experience, saying: "I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before, but the pain is so immediate. It feels like a sudden and intense wave that hits you out of nowhere.” He described how, as Laura spoke on stage, the pain escalated to such a degree that he could no longer remain composed.
He was standing alongside his co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge when Laura Dern, who won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her powerful performance in "Marriage Story," began her acceptance speech.
By the time Laura finished delivering her heartfelt speech, Andrew tore off his tuxedo jacket in a frantic attempt to ease his pain before rushing to hospital. The award ceremony took an unexpected turn for him, shifting from a celebration of achievements to a race against time for his health.
