Throughout the filming of the movie, each actor was involved in several risky stunts.
The actor happened to lock eyes with John and took action immediately (perVanity Fair).
“I was looking at [Eastwood] and couldn’t breathe.
He recognized it immediately and saved my life.
I can’t believe I’m 202 pounds and he threw me up in the air three times.”
In an interview withThe Carmel Pine Cone, Eastwood admitted that the entire situation was frightening.
“It looked bad.”
According to the weekly, this was the first time that Eastwood had ever used the Heimlich maneuver.
Here’s hoping that Eastwood is around for your next near-death accident.
