Anthony Anderson's unexpected gout journey
The Mercury
|May 07, 2025
ANTHONY Anderson is living proof that your body will call you out when your lifestyle isn’t quite as balanced as you think.
The award-winning actor recently opened up about a surprising health scare that hit him while filming K-Ville in New Orleans back in 2007.
Anderson, enjoying a seafood-heavy diet (because, let’s face it, New Orleans is basically a shellfish paradise), ended up being diagnosed with gout, a painful form of arthritis.
“I was eating nothing but seafood and shellfish,” Anderson said during an episode of the Armchair Expert podcast. One dramatic scene required him to kick a door in, and the pain that followed made him think he'd broken his toe. It wasn’t a fracture, but a gout flare-up.
Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the bloodstream and forms crystals in the joints, causing swelling, redness and serious pain.
