Rapper and actor Ice-T startled “Law & Order” fans with a photo from behind the scenes of the upcoming season. Many thought he was really injured.
In a humorous post shared on his Instagram on July 31, Ice-T appeared with a convincingly bruised eye made up with makeup. He was celebrating the return of filming for “Law & Order: SVU.”
“Back to filming SVU and the first scene I shoot,” he wrote in the caption. Shortly after, he reassured his fans that “it was in the script.”
In the comments, followers praised the makeup and joined in the joke with Ice-T.
“Man, before I read the caption, I was already on my way to your house with Uncle Tony,” one wrote.
“I’m not even going to post what went through my head. Glad it was just makeup,” joked another.
“I was worried for a second, excellent work by the makeup team,” said another.
Ice-T has been part of the NBC series cast since 2000. The 27th season is scheduled to premiere on September 25, along with the 25th season of “Law & Order.”
The new episodes will air on Thursdays and will be available for streaming on the Peacock platform the day after the premiere.
