Superstar CLINT EASTWOOD makes man’s day – by saving his life!
Clint, 83, performed the Heimlich maneuver on the AT&T’s T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am executive Steve John on tournament director at a volunteer dinner, the Carmel Pine Cone reported.
“A piece of cheese went in my mouth, and suddenly I couldn’t breathe,” John told the Pine Cone.
Eastwood described the moment of horror, “The look on Steve’s face was different than when somebody is just coughing or joking around. I looked in his eyes and saw that look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their very eyes. It looked bad.”
“I gave him three good jolts, and that got it out,” Eastwood said.
“It was as bad as it could have been,” John divulged. “But Clint came up behind me and he knew exactly what to do. He did the Heimlich maneuver and he lifted me right off the ground.”
Amazingly, Clint admitted he had only ever practiced the Heimlich maneuver once before.
“Clint saved my life,” John said. “He’s strong. The cheese popped out, and I was fine.”
