In a recent interview, the actress and model, Brooke Shields, opened up about a challenging health ordeal she faced a few months ago and expressed her heartfelt gratitude toward actor Bradley Cooper for his unwavering support during that trying time.
The glitzy world of entertainment, while enticing, can be exceptionally demanding, pushing artists to their limits. Both Brooke Shields and Bradley Cooper found themselves on this arduous path firsthand.
Brooke Shields, who has been a fixture in Hollywood from a tender age, gaining fame at just 11 years old for her role as a s---ally exploited girl in the film "Pretty Baby," recently revealed how she pushed her body to the brink.
It all unfolded as Brooke Shields was gearing up to perform one of the shows from her one-woman act, "Previously Owned," at the Carlyle Hotel in New York. Coincidentally, Bradley Cooper was present that evening. However, things took a distressing turn when she began to experience unusual symptoms, eventually leading to a seizure.
Recounting the episode to Glamour magazine, she said, "She was drinking too much water, and I didn't realize she had a low sodium level. She was just waiting for an Uber to arrive." This incident occurred in September of the current year.
Brooke continued, "As I was descending the stairs to leave, she clearly looked unwell because people were inquiring about her condition." She managed to walk a few blocks before arriving at the L'Artusi restaurant, where her condition further deteriorated.
She went on to describe the frightening moment: "Everything went black. I managed to get inside, and two women approached me. Then, my hands weakened, and I struck my head against the wall." She reflected on the gravity of the situation, realizing how much worse it could have been when she collided with the wall.
"Then I started foaming at the mouth, turned blue, and struggled to swallow my tongue," recounted Brooke Shields, vividly remembering the distressing ordeal. "The last thing I recall before losing consciousness was being placed in an ambulance and receiving oxygen. The next memory I have is being inside an ambulance with oxygen masks on," she added, noting that it was Bradley Cooper who had come to her aid while he was enjoying dinner at the restaurant.
Subsequently, the concerned actor reached out to Brooke Shields' husband, who promptly arrived to manage the situation and stay by her side until her recovery. Ultimately, the health scare was attributed to excessive water consumption over an extended period, leading to a critical drop in her sodium levels.
