Early Monday morning, director and comedian Kevin Smith tweeted that he had just suffered a “massive heart attack” (the kind commonly referred to as a widowmaker) soon after performing a stand-up set in Glendale, California, Sunday night.
The director of cult classics like Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy shared the news alongside a selfie of him in a hospital bed, adding that his LAD artery was “100%” blocked, and that he would have died had he not gone to the hospital instead of performing his second show of the night.
You may remember that fitness guru Bob Harper suffered a widowmaker last year. He’s doing just fine.
