Adam Scott, renowned for his role in the series "Severance," recently faced an unexpected medical emergency on set in upstate New York. While filming, Scott experienced a severe nosebleed that necessitated a visit to the emergency room. The incident required urgent medical attention, leading to a procedure where the inside of his nose was cauterized to halt the bleeding.
Scott, known for his comedic prowess, lightened the situation with jokes that his nosebleed might have been caused by cocaine use. His co-star, Meyers, joined in the humor, quipping about Scott's imaginary drug dealer. Despite the levity, the nosebleed was severe enough to cause a concussion, prompting immediate medical intervention.
"We had to go, because it would not stop," – Scott
The procedure itself was captured in a photograph by Ben Stiller, an executive producer and director on "Severance." Stiller's snapshot depicted the uncomfortable nature of the treatment. Scott later described the sensation of cauterization, humorously likening it to powdered sugar or cocaine.
"but then also it did feel like there was just a pound of pepper." – Scott
In his typical fashion, Scott coped with the ordeal by overcompensating with humor, making numerous jokes about the incident. Despite the severity of his condition, he eventually sought a doctor's expertise to ensure proper treatment and recovery.
New episodes of "Severance" continue to premiere on Fridays on Apple TV+, much to the delight of fans eager for more of Scott's captivating performances.
