"Red 2" star John Malkovich is being lauded for the rescue of an elderly man who was bleeding from the neck. Ohio resident Jim Walpole, 77, had just wrapped a cross-Canada train trip with his wife Marilyn Walpole, 79, when he tripped off a curb in front of his hotel, falling on a piece of scaffolding that gashed his throat.
According to a report by the Toronto Star, retired nurse Marilyn yelled for help, worried her husband was cut on the carotid artery or jugular vein.
Chris Mathias, a doorman at the Walpoles' hotel who also helped with the rescue effort, describes the rescue effort. "I believe [Malkovich] was having a cigarette and witnessed the whole thing happening," Mathias says. "He placed his hand and started applying pressure to the man's neck, didn't let go until the ambulance arrived."
Walpole, now back in Ohio, tells the Star, "I'm forever grateful to [Malkovich]; he really helped me out.
