Alicia Silverstone takes to Instagram to offer an update after choking on a ‘poisonous’ fruit.
The US actress, best known for her portrayal as Cher in the 1995 film Clueless, provided a follow-up update on Tuesday, August 20. Silverstone confirmed that she was “alive and well!” She said, “Don’t worry…”I didn’t swallow.”
This occurred after the 47-year-old selected an orange-colored fruit from the fresh batch and bit into it.
In the video, she can be heard saying, “Okay, I’ve discovered something I can’t figure out, and I need your help.”
“I just bit into it because I was on the street and we were discussing whether it was a tomato or not.”
“It’s definitely not, because look at these leaves.”
Silverstone pointed at the leaves and said, “What the heck is this?”
The actress then took another bite of the plant, revealing the inside, which included bigger seeds.
Calling out to her supporters, she asked, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this, it’s almost like a pepper, does anybody know what this is? I’m in England.”
Her fans quickly took to the comments section to express their concerns.
One enthusiast said, “It’s poisonous. Don’t eat that.”
While another added, “DON’T EAT wild berries or mushrooms or other ‘weird stuff’. I want you to be safe and healthy!”
A third commented, “It’s a Jerusalem cherry. “Don’t eat it.”
