Adam Scott recalls medical emergency on 'Severance' set

Adam Scott raised suspicions of drug abuse during the filming of season 2 of Apple TV+'s hit show Severance.

The actor, 51, made an appearance on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers where he got candid about suffering a "concussion at one point" on the sets.

"A little while later, I got this nosebleed that would not stop," Scott told the host.

He continued, "Like, no matter what we did, we could not get my nose to stop bleeding. It was disgusting and frustrating, but also, when there's an actor who has a nose that will not stop bleeding, obviously, it's cocaine, right? We all know this."

The Parks & Rec alum recalled trying to assure his Severance costars that he wasn't on drugs by "sort of overcompensating and making way too many cocaine jokes, trying to reassure everyone that it wasn't cocaine."

Scott added, "But, for sure, by the end of the day, everyone thought it was cocaine."

Eventually, the actor had to visit an emergency room in upstate New York was required to have the inside of his nose "cauterised."

Host Seth Meyers then showed the audience a photo director Ben Stiller took of Scott during the procedure.

Scott also opened up about a moment just ahead of the surgery in the hospital.

"I asked the doctor, I was like, 'Is this — Is this going to hurt?' And he's like, 'Well yes, but also the more challenging aspect of this will be the extreme feeling of pepper being shoved up your nose," he explained.

"So it did hurt, but then also it did feel like there was just like a pound of pepper. And he's like, 'Don't sneeze. You can't sneeze!'"
