American actress Alicia Silverstone experienced firsthand how dangerous it can be to walk alone on the streets of London. When she stumbled upon a bush with strangely-looking fruits, she couldn't resist the temptation.

Alicia Silverstone gained the most popularity thanks to her lead role in the iconic romantic comedy "Clueless." The actress took on the main role of the clever Cher Horowitz, who, in order to achieve the perfect GPA, plans to set up her unsupportive teacher with a lonely teacher. She also has roles in films 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.

The actress ate a poisonous fruit. She has not appeared on the internet since

- 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. - Those are the leaves. So what the heck is this? Because when you open it up, it looks like that - 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, 20 August, she informed us that she is fine. "Don’t worry… I didn’t swallow" - she wrote in a post on Instagram.
