Diff'rent Strokes actor Gary Coleman is in a Los Angeles hospital for tests after saying he didn't feel well.

Coleman's agent, Robert Malcolm, said the 41-year-old actor had given interviews to complain about a scene in his latest movie and went to his hotel room to rest.  

Malcolm says Coleman then began feeling unwell and was taken by ambulance to a hospital. He didn't have details.  

Malcolm says tests were negative and the actor was alert and feeling fine but may remain hospitalised overnight before returning to his Utah home.  

Coleman, had two kidney transplants, played Arnold Jackson on the popular 1980s sitcom Diff'rent Strokes. 

His hospitalisation was first reported by TMZ.com.
