Hustle & Flow Actor Had Serious On-Set Accident

Just because people are acting on the set of a movie, it doesn’t mean that real dangers can’t happen while working on a project. Unfortunately for Anthony Anderson, that’s exactly what happened to him not too long ago on the set of one of his films.

At the time, the actor was filming G20 in South Africa, and he recently recounted the incident while speaking to late-night host Jimmy Fallon. According to Anderson, the actors he was working with were “a bit overzealous” when it came to wanting to “whoop” his “a**.”

Actors threw Anderson into a wooden chair. Unfortunately, he “slammed” into the “wooden arm” of the chair, joking that it was made from “ancestral slavery wood.”

“It just stabbed me right in my kidney and brought me right to my knees,” the actor said.

Things got bad enough for Anthony Anderson that he had to visit the emergency room in Cape Town. “Every two or so steps, I bucked over in pain, so I had to spend about four or five hours in the emergency room.”
