Matt Damon nearly choked during a dinner at Jimmy Kimmel’s. The talk show host later joked that he feared a prison sentence if the Hollywood star had died in his house. Jimmy Kimmel recalled a night when Matt Damon came over for dinner. But the shared meal turned out very differently than planned, as the 57-year-old described in an interview with Variety.
“I could never explain this as anything other than murder” “Matt Damon was at my house for dinner one night. I made pork ribs. He arrived late, he was very hungry, and he started eating quickly. He choked on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half,” the talk show host revealed. He went on to joke that he feared a prison sentence if the 54-year-old Hollywood star had died in his house.
“His brother was there. I said, ‘We have to take him to the hospital, because if he dies in my house, I’ll go to prison for the rest of my life. I could never explain it as anything other than murder.’” “I tried Heimlich maneuvers many times” They eventually sought advice online after the Heimlich maneuver proved ineffective.
“We tried the Heimlich maneuver many times,” Kimmel continued. “It was too far down.” Thanks to a tip on YouTube, “we finally came to the conclusion that eating small pieces of bread was the best way to push the rib into the stomach — and the bread saved him,” Kimmel concluded with a smile.
