Alicia Silverstone, best known for her role as Cher in the 1995 film *Clueless*, shared an update on Instagram after accidentally biting into a potentially poisonous fruit. On Tuesday, August 20, the 47-year-old actress reassured her followers, announcing that she was “alive and well” and humorously added, “Don’t worry…I didn’t swallow.”
The incident occurred when Silverstone picked an orange-colored fruit from a fresh batch while out in England. Unsure of what it was, she bit into it, documenting the experience on video. “Okay, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is, and I need your help,” she said, pointing to the fruit’s unusual leaves and showing its larger seeds.
Fans quickly expressed their concern in the comments, with one warning, “It’s poisonous. Don’t eat that,” and another adding, “DON’T EAT wild berries or mushrooms or other ‘weird stuff.’ I want you to be safe and healthy!” A third fan identified the fruit as a Jerusalem cherry, advising her not to consume it.
Silverstone’s update relieved many of her followers, who were glad to hear she was safe.
