Ramon Rodriguez revealed to “Good Morning America” he was recently stung three times by a scorpion while he slept.

The “Will Trent” actor told “Good Morning America” the crazy incident took place during production in South Africa of the movie “G20,” starring Viola Davis.

“I’m finally falling asleep, and I feel something on my back, a little tingling,” Rodriguez said Wednesday morning on Good Morning America, per Entertainment Weekly. “I swipe at it, and I feel like a hot needle to the back of my shoulder. I jump out of bed, I put my phone light on, and it’s a scorpion staring at me in bed that stung me in my sleep. I swiped it, I killed it.”

He goes on to say he didn’t get it treated right away.“First of all, it stung me three times,” Rodriguez said. “I saw three welts on my back. He said, ‘You’re lucky. If a scorpion has big pincers, that means the venom is low. If it had small pincers, high venom.’ Luckily, mine had low venom. So, when I went back to set, from that moment, they called me the Scorpion King.”Mark Heim is a reporter for The Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Mark_Heim.
