Andrew told Variety at the SAG Awards red carpet in Los Angeles, “I was beside Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] and Laura Dern had just won best supporting actress and we were standing up. I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before, but it sends you, the pain is so immediate.”

He recalled how by the time Laura Dern finished accepting her award for Marriage Story, he was already in a lot of pain and taking off his tux backstage. He added, “I was in the back [of the room]…writhing around in agony.” Before he knew it, he had to be rushed to pass a kidney stone. He was taken away by an ambulance. His condition was unknown to other attendees.
