Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams has revealed she once helped save a stabbing victim’s life using first aid skills she picked up while filming a short-lived TV medical drama.<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old actress recalled on the on the SmartLess podcast this week that her family were the first people on the scene of a stabbing after leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
“These people were screaming and a guy was walking and they were yelling, \u2018He’s dying!’ And my husband’s like, \u2018That’s blood!’ \u201d Adams told the hosts. <\/p>\n
Her husband, Darren Le Gallo, remained with their daughter as Adams and her father rushed to the man’s aid.<\/p>\n
He was bleeding and his friends were freaking out,” she said, adding they were able to use the beach towels they had with them to apply pressure and stem the bleeding, adding that she felt very “focused” in the moment.<\/p>\n
Adams told the victim: “The more you struggle, the faster you’re going to bleed. Just lay down.”<\/p>\n
This was advice she says she learned on the set of Dr Vegas, which ran for just five episodes in 2004.<\/p>\n
Adams said a year after the incident, she ran into the stabbing victim at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
“A guy walks up to me\u2026 He’s like, ‘I heard a story that you and your dad were on the scene of a guy getting stabbed,'” she remembered. “And I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s you.’ And it was him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams has revealed she once helped save a stabbing victim’s life using first aid skills…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,134,409,111,139,64,69],"class_list":["post-494309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-health","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-north-america","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
