Anthony Anderson has proven once again that even the brightest stars can face unexpected challenges. Recently, he took to social media to share a rather unsettling experience—his knee had ballooned to an alarming size, prompting a late-night trip to the emergency room. In a medical moment that would make anyone squirm, Anderson documented the process of having 140cc of yellow fluid drained from his knee, thanks to a diagnosis of arthritis. Who knew celebrity life came with such strange medical anomalies?
In his Instagram post, the actor kept things light as a doctor pulled out syringe after syringe while yellow fluid rushed into a tube. It’s no secret that aging has its quirks, but Anderson’s experience serves as a reminder that Hollywood glitz doesn’t exempt anyone from the oddities of health. Now, as he prepares to turn 55—yes, he’s almost there—Anthony’s knee is significantly smaller. Talk about getting a solid “before and after” shot in real life!
