Rob McElhenney leaves fans shocked as he shares a snap of his allergic reaction
The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney, took to his Instagram and shared a snap of an extreme allergic reaction after closing 2023, with a swollen and deformed face. The actor shared his favorite memories from the past year, including his Wrexham AFC journey with Ryan Reynolds, causing fans to feel sick.
"Aside from that slight allergic reaction to the nuts, 2023 was one of the best years of my life," McElhenney wrote in the caption. "Thank you to the people and places that made it possible. My life is full of love and joy because of you. So excited for 2024. I’ll stay away from the nuts."
McElhenney's followers reacted in shock, with one user responding, "Rob this made me almost drop my phone. My son screamed." Another commented, "Can somebody confirm that the first picture is real and not from some scene he was doing. That is insane." A third user commented, "That first slide can’t be real…is it real?? I really impressed and/or horrified." And a fourth wrote, "Oh my word sir I am so happy you are ok. Avoid all nuts please...you are a national treasure and we need you around."
