Kevin Smith Talks About His Near Death Heart Attack Experience in New Video

Videos Kevin Smith by Joey Paur

A couple days ago Kevin Smith revealed that he had a massive heart attack and almost died. He has since been recovering from this crazy scary ordeal. He has now released a video on Facebook in which he gives a detailed recount of what happened and he does it in his energetic and fun storytelling style. He amusingly says that out of this whole ordeal in the middle of having a big heart attack, the thing that he was worried about most was that when they had to shave his groin, he didn't want anyone to see his junk. 

Also in the video, Smith comes to Chris Pratt's defense, who was attacked by fans for offering up prayers to help Smith get through this ordeal. In regards to that Smith said:

"Poor Chris Pratt, one of my favorite actors on the planet, f-cking put up a nice tweet, saying, 'Hey man, I don't know you that much, but I love Clerks and I'm praying for you,' and, apparently, some people were like, 'F-ck your prayers,' and attacked him and sh-t. And then [Guardians of the Galaxy director] James Gunn had to jump in and be like, 'Ain't nothing wrong with praying for a person, man.' Number one, oh my God, thank you to Chris Pratt. How sweet was that? Star-Lord praying for me."
"But number two, yeah, please don't fight over stuff like that. It's a waste of time. Prayer, whether you're religious or not, somebody saying, 'I'll pray for you,' it's good-intentioned, it's very nice. Especially because it's not like Chris Pratt was like, 'Move over, I'm going to reach my hands over into his chest and save him, save f-cking Silent Bob's life myself.'"

Anyway, the video is definitely worth watching because he manages to turn this extremely scary experience into a fun and enjoyable story. This is exactly why people love Kevin Smith.
