'It Was Grisly': Andrew Scott Gets Graphic About Why He Left The 2020 SAG Awards In An Ambulance
The Ripley star recalled "ripping open my tux" and "writhing around in agony" behind the scenes of the awards show five years ago.
Andrew Scott made a grand return to the SAG Awards on Sunday night â and it turns out his last time at the ceremony didnât exactly have the most perfect of endings.
Before this yearâs event, Andrew spoke to Variety on the red carpet, where reporter Marc Malkin innocently asked the Fleabag star: âWhat was it like the first time that you came to the SAG Awards?â

What Marc could never have anticipated would be that the Irish performer would then disclose that he âpassed a kidney stoneâ during the awards show five years ago, in an incident that left him âwrithing around in agonyâ mid-ceremony and eventually leaving the event in the back of an ambulance.
âI was beside Phoebe [Waller-Bridge, his Fleabag co-star, and Laura Dern had just won Best Supporting Actress,â Andrew recalled. âWe were standing up for Laura, and I donât know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before but⊠it sends you, the pain is so immediate.
âAnd so, as Laura was speaking I was crawling out, and by the time her speech was over, I was ripping open my tux, and I was in the back of one of those back rooms there, writhing around in agony.â

âI knew what it was, because Iâd had it before,â he added. âAnd that was my last experience of the SAG Awards.â
According to Variety, the Ripley actor concluded his story by revealing he left the event in an ambulance, but drew the line at revealing the fate of the kidney stone itself.

âThatâs too much,â he apparently claimed. âPeople donât need to know about that. It was grisly.â
