Actor
John Malkovich may have saved the life of an American tourist in
Canada. Jim Walpole, 77, and his wife Marilyn of Defiance, Ohio were in
Toronto when Mr. Walpole tripped and cut his throat on a piece of
scaffolding:
Marilyn, who is a retired nurse, was
concerned that her husband might have been cut on the carotid artery or
the jugular vein and yelled for help.
Malkovich acted quickly and knew just what to do to stop the flow of blood until paramedics arrived, Walpole said.
Chris
Mathias, a doorman from the King Edward Hotel, also sprinted to help
the man when he fell on Thursday night. He said he found Walpole lying
on his back in a pool of blood.
“I
believe (Malkovich) was having a cigarette and witnessed the whole
thing happening, he placed his hand and started applying pressure to the
man’s neck didn’t let go until the ambulance arrived,” Mathias said.

After his frightening experience, Walpole said he definitely plans on watching Malkovich’s movies.
“I never had the opportunity to see him and thank him
after the incident. I asked him what his name was and he said it was
John.”
