It looks like Ice-T suffered an injury that is pretty nas-T.
The star posted a photo of himself July 31 on Instagram with a bandage under his bruised left eye, which he attributed to filming on โLaw & Order: SVU.โ
โBack filming SVU and the first scene I shootโฆ. I get Fd up! Itโs in the script,โ he wrote in the caption of the post.
His fans breathed some sighs of relief knowing the injury was for the long-running show.
โHad me worried for a secondโexcellent work by the makeup team. I am glad itโs just for SVU!โ a fan commented.
โI seriously thought you got hurt lol. ๐ canโt wait for season 27 to start,โ someone else wrote.
โNo wayyyy!! It looks so real!! ๐ God forbid in real life tho!!!โ another person commented.
Fellow police procedural star Donnie Wahlberg, who recently wrapped “Blue Bloods” and will star in a new show called “Boston Blue,” even chimed in, writing, “I feel your tv pain Ice! I got elbowed in the face, and smashed through a wall, on set last night.”
Ice-T has played Odafin โFinโ Tutuola on โLaw & Order: SVUโ since 2000. The 27th season of โLaw & Order: SVUโ premieres Thursday, Sept. 25, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC, sandwiched between the season premiere of โLaw & Orderโ and an episode of โLaw & Order: Organized Crime.โ
