This is what it looked like after 20 hours of sleep and an hour of wet compresses with baby shampoo to loosen coagulated blood.” He added, “No I haven’t gone to hospital yet (way too tired for that) yes I will go tomorrow. Didn’t eat or drink til 25th hour cuz too exhausted to order Door Dash & too male to ask for help.” Later that day, he posted an update assuring fans that he had “finally succumbed to all the benevolent naggery and gotten myself to ER.” Pinchot then shared details in a list form, writing: “Tetanus update okayed, have been poked, rotated, made to resist, questioned, made to touch nose, everything good so far, nothing hurts, yeah, ship has sailed on scar 🤷♂️.” He added, “SUPER fun fact: I checked in while my sis parked car. They confidentially sidled up to me and whispered: ‘Is anyone abusing you?’ I whispered back: ‘No, but could you pull my sister aside when she comes in & question her like she is an abuser?’ My guess is extremely-off-the-wall humor is too out there for ER.” On Monday, Nov. 10, Pinchot returned to Instagram with another health update, “Back from ER. No concussion, brain bleeding, facial breakage, etc. Just dead a– sexy street cred gashes.” In the comments, fans showered the Beverly Hills Cop star with prayers and well-wishes, with one Instagram user writing, “Glad you’re okay, Bronson. The citizens of Mypos need you healthy! 🙏🏻.” Another follower shared, “I’m very glad to hear no serious damage. Was thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. Continued prayers and healing energy.” Someone else echoed, “It makes me so relieved to hear and see that you (and Serge) are doing well! Praise God for no concussion or anything wrong! I will continue to pray for you and for your healing 🙏 Sending you lots more love and hugs Bronnie ❤️❤️❤️🫂.” A different fan wrote, “Serge and Bronnie, you are making me cry! 😭 I am so happy you are home. Please make sure you rest, eat and stay hydrated! Please?! 🙏.” Meanwhile, yet another Instagram user commented, “Sexy street cred, indeed! I’m so glad that Bronson is doing better and that it’s nothing serious. Sending prayers and love ❤️🥰❤️.” Pinchot famously played Balki Bartokomous alongside Mark Linn-Baker as Larry Appleton in Perfect Strangers for eight seasons from 1986 to 1993.
