“I don’t know any of this stuff, but I was told later that, when the defibrillator doesn’t work once, that’s not good. When it doesn’t work the second time, that’s kind of like… forget it. But then they jacked it up a third time, and it got me back to a rhythm,” he said of what happened when he collapsed on set.
He added, “We were talking about ‘Nobody’, and one of the things that saved me was that I learned how to work out [in preparation].”
“And because I was in good shape, you kind of enlarge some of the… other veins around your heart, if you work out a lot. And I had done that and, as a result, I was told that more blood was able to go to my heart during CPR because these veins were just a little bit bigger from… a lot of working out,” he added.
