Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart were spotted on the set of their upcoming Netflix movie “Me Time,” just days before a tragic accidеnt occurred on location.
The two actors were filming an action scene in matching tracksuits surrounded by production crew when the accidеnt took place.
Early on September 14, paramedics were alerted to a ‘long fall’ at Sunset Gower Studios, where the victim was reported to be in ‘grave’ condition. It was later revealed that the injured person was a crew member working on the set of the film. Wahlberg and Hart were seen filming a nighttime scene involving a tortoise, running to their car before carrying the tortoise to an еmеrgеncy room.
In “Me Time,” Hart plays a stay-at-home dad who enjoys some ‘me time’ for the first time in ages after his family goes away, reconnecting with his old friend, played by Wahlberg. What follows is a chaotic weekend filled with surprises.
Production on the film seemed to have started on September 7, but just a week later, the on-set accidеnt almost brought everything to a halt.
Both TMZ and Deadline provided different accounts of the serious incident, which occurred around 7 AM on Tuesday. LAFD spokesperson Brian Humphrey told Deadline that they received a 911 call at 7:04 AM about a man in his 30s who fell from the grid above Stage 12, a drop of about 30 feet. TMZ later reported that the victim was a 38-year-old man who fell without a safety device, sustaining fractures to his arms and legs.
TMZ also noted that when paramedics arrived, the man was in ‘grave’ condition, lacking a pulse, prompting on-set medical workers to perform CPR. After еmеrgеncy responders used a defibrillator to restore his heartbeat, his condition was upgraded to ‘critical,’ and he was taken to a regional trauma center by ambulance.
The exact details of the ɑccidеnt and the man’s current condition remain unclear, and it is unknown whether production was paused following the ɑccidеnt.
