Andrew Scott opens up on secret health condition that caused hospital dash

Andrew Scott has opened up about being struck with a kidney stone five years ago in Los Angeles. The Hollywood actor was attending the Screen Actors Guild Awards when he had to be rushed to hospital.

Whilst chatting to the media on the red carpet at this year's awards, Scott confessed that he doubled over in pain with the condition and was left "writhing in agony."

“I was beside Phoebe [Waller-Bridge], and Laura Dern had just won Best Supporting Actress [for Marriage Story], and we were standing up," he recalled.

"I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before, but it sends you... the pain is so immediate. I was in the back [of the room] writhing around in agony."

Scott then revealed that paramedics came to attend him backstage and rushed him to the hospital. The moment was not captured during the live SAG Awards ceremony.

He quipped when asked what happened next: “That’s too much. People don’t need to know about that. It was grisly.”

Scott was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his role in Ripley on Netflix.

He was up against Javier Bardem, Colin Farrell, Richard Gadd, and Kevin Kline, but he narrowly lost out to Farrell for his portrayal in The Penguin.

In similar news, Timothee Chalamet admitted he wants to be regarded as one of "the greats" as he accepted his Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award on Sunday evening.

The 29-year-old actor noted it would have been "classy" for him to "downplay" how much work he had put into playing Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown' and to play down the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role prize's meaning to him, but then spoke of how he had "poured everything" into the project.

Speaking on stage at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, he said: "Oh boy. I was not expecting this at all, truly.

"I'll start by thanking my mother, who I'm here with tonight. She has been working at actors' equity for 40 years.

"I'll quickly run through this. I know the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role and how much it means to me, but the truth is, this was five-and-a-half years of my life, I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist, Mr. Bob Dyla, a true American hero. It was the honour of a lifetime, playing him."
