October 2, 2022TIL That actor Kirk Douglas once tried to commit suicide after his stroke, by shooting himself through the mouth. However, the gun hit a tooth, and it hurt so much that he stopped completely. He was then so amused that toothache had stopped him from killing himself, that he decided to live.
Interviewer:You’ve lived through a lot of good and bad times. When you had your stroke in 1996 you considered suicide. Kirk:“Humor saved me. A stroke, especially for an actor, is a terrible thing, because if you can’t speak, you can’t act. At first, I thought my life was at an end. But when I put the gun in my mouth, it hit a tooth. Ow! And that struck me funny. A toothache was stopping me from committing suicide? Funny! And it made me stop. There are even jokes about it: What can an actor do who can’t talk? He waits for the silent pictures to come back!” Always look on the bright side of life! More on reddit.com
