The accident comes after Gerard, who is often seen on the back of his motorbike, had recently appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to discuss his new role.
He plays Jake Lawson – a satellite designer and former space station commander – who tries to save the world after a network of satellites designed to control the global climate start to attack Earth.
The acting talent’s role in the new movie is filled with stunts, including him hanging onto many wires and sporting a space suit, and in order to maintain his health, he had followed nutritional advice that recommended taking bee venom.
He had sported a new look during his appearance on the chat show, appearing with a much longer head of hair and a thick beard, and explained that his nutritionist explained bee venom had ‘anti-inflammatory compounds’, saying: ‘He made it sound so logical and I’m thinking I can stay organic and do things in a healthier way instead of trying to take anything else.

Shock: Following his crash, an onlooker had called 911 and paramedics had headed to the scene, taking Gerard to a hospital nearby
‘The next minute I’m topless in my place and he gives me a shot which is probably about two or three bee stings and then he says, “I’m just going to check you’re not allergic,”… he gives me another ten and then I get up to about 23 bee stings and then I have the worst reaction – I’ve never had an allergic reaction – I get ants in my pants, my arms start swelling up and I get all blotchy.
‘My heart’s beating and I think it’s going to explode, so I said to him, “Dude, get the epi-pen… call an ambulance.”‘
Despite his scare, however, Gerard then branded himself a ‘maniac’, as he admitted a few days later he had taken more of the bee venom – convincing himself he hadn’t had an allergic reaction, he had just taken too much at one time.
Gerard revealed that he had just started dating girlfriend, interior designer Morgan Brown, 39, at the time and was forced to go to the hospital, when he was supposed to be meeting her, after suffering an ‘even worse’ reaction after feeling like his ‘throat was closing up’.
Referencing Morgan while recalling his tale, Gerard appeared to confirm that the duo are very much back on, after splitting for a second time.
They first split earlier this year, but reunited shortly afterwards before calling it quits once again in August. A source had claimed to The Sun: ‘He thought Morgan might have been the right person at the right time, but it wasn’t to be. They both saw it would be best if they moved on.
‘He’d told his friends he just couldn’t commit, Gerry loves Morgan, but it wasn’t working.’
Gerard and Morgan have been dating on and off since 2014, with their first split blamed on ‘attention the actor receives from other women’.
His reference to her within his interview comes just weeks after Gerard was spotting cosying up to a mystery brunette in London.
