Anthony Anderson spent the night in the emergency room.

Anderson, 53, updated his Instagram on Friday with a video of himself lying in a hospital bedsmiling and making the peace sign.

In his caption, he gave more details about what happened.

“I spent the night in the emergency room. The fight on the movie set went wrong,” she revealed.

“Me against two thugs and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a specialist? I am who! I’m not as young as I used to be! The CT scan and x-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back, just a deep bruise. That chair will never be the same again! Bloody and bent but never broken!

He ended his post with hashtags about “Set life” and “movie fights.”

The “Black-ish” star did not share what movie he was filming, but his location was “Cape Town, South Africa,” which is where his upcoming movie “G20” was scheduled to film.

The film stars Viola Davis, Anthony Starr (“The Boys”) and Clark Gregg (“The Avengers”), and is an action thriller about a terrorist attack at the annual G20 summit. Davis will play the fictional president of the United States, Taylor Sutton.

Anderson’s role in the film has not been specified.

Anderson recently hosted a travel show about traveling through Europe with her mother for “E!” called “Trippin’ with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris,” about which he told The Post: “It started as a thank you to my mother for all the sacrifices she made to get me to where I am.”

“It’s just a way to celebrate it. Because of my work schedule and my mom’s bingo habit, we don’t spend much time together at home,” she continued. “So the six-week vacation was a time to go out, bond, and see the world together.”

He also co-hosts the A&E series “Kings of BBQ” with Cedric the Entertainer, and hosted the 2024 Emmys with a crowd-pleasing opening that paid homage to older shows like “The Facts of Life” and “Miami Vice.”

He didn’t criticize the crowd much, except for a light joke about Kevin Costner (“Fun fact, Kevin Costner is from Compton. I wonder if he was a Crip or a Blood… who knows. Yellowstone!” he said). .

In a follow-up post after his update on the hospital, Anderson shared a photo of a chair.

In her caption, she wrote: “This is the chair that gave me a beating last night! Something about this is threatening! He hit Me in the kidneys and in the back without mercy! When I arrived on set today he was smiling at me! Little does he know I have something for that ass! He went to learn today!
