Alicia Silverstone's London street snack causes online alarm

Alicia Silverstone gained most popularity thanks to her lead role in the iconic romantic comedy "Clueless." The actress played the main role of the clever Cher Horowitz, who, to achieve the perfect GPA, plans to set up her unsupportive teacher with a lonely colleague. She has also played roles in movies and series such as "Batman & Robin," "The Lodge," "American Horror Story," and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer."

The actress posted a very peculiar video on TikTok. She is strolling alone on the streets of London when suddenly her attention is drawn to a bush with intensely colourful fruits growing on someone's property. Alicia Silverstone casually reaches to pick the "treat" and taste it. Aside from the fact that one should not consume unknown food, the actress simply committed theft.

- Okay, I've discovered something that I can't figure out what it is and I need your help - says Alicia Silverstone, showing a small, intensely orange fruit to the camera. - I just bit into it because it was on the street and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not - adds the actress, zooming in on the plant in someone's garden. - If I bite it — I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this. But it’s almost like a pepper. Does anyone know what this is? - she asks, chewing the fruit, which was identified as bittersweet nightshade - a poisonous plant that can cause stomach disorders.

Fans are very concerned about the actress's condition. They are worried because Alicia Silverstone has not shown any signs of life on social media since the video of her eating an unknown plant from a stranger's garden. Internet users are comforting each other by saying that she likely couldn't have died - she only took a small bite. The actress is indeed alive - on Tuesday, August 20th, she informed that she is fine. "No worries, I didn't swallow" - she wrote in a post on Instagram.
