Kevin Smith revealed late Sunday night that hehad suffered a massive heart attack. The Clerks director also shared a photo of himself in the hospital.
After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack, Smith tweeted. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka the Widow-Maker). If I hadnt canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I wouldve died tonight. But for now, Im still above ground!
Smith was scheduled to appear at an early and late show Sunday at Glendale, Californias Alex Theatre. In a follow-up Facebook post, Smith elaborated on the situation: I was trying to do a killer standup special this evening but I mightve gone too far.
After the first show, I felt kinda nauseous. I threw up a little but it didnt seem to help. Then I started sweating buckets and my chest felt heavy. Turns out I had a massive heart attack, Smith wrote.
But this is what I learned about myself during this crisis: death was always the thing I was most terrified of in life. When the time came, I never imagined Id ever be able to die with dignity I assumed Id die screaming, like my Dad (who lost his life to a massive heart attack). But even as they cut into my groin to slip a stent into the lethal Widow-Maker, I was filled with a sense of calm.

Smith was in good spirits following his traumatic medical ordeal, adding that hes likely facing some lifestyle changes (and weighing going vegan) following the heart attack and became reflective of his life and career (I was bummed we werent gonna get to make #jayandsilentbobreboot before I shuffled loose the mortal coil, he joked.)
The point of this post is to tell you that I faced my greatest fear tonight and it wasnt as bad as Ive always imagined itd be, the director wrote. I dont want my life to end but if it ends, I cant complain. It was such a gift.
