Amy Adams recently shared a harrowing experience where she aided a stabbing victim in Los Angeles.

During Monday’s episode of the “Smartless” podcast, Adams recounted the incident, which occurred as she, her father Richard Adams, husband Darren Le Gallo, and daughter Aviana left their favorite restaurant in Santa Monica. They were the first to arrive at the distressing scene amid what was meant to be a pleasant family outing.

“We heard people screaming, and saw a man staggering with onlookers shouting, ‘He’s dying!’” Adams recalled. Her husband quickly pointed out, “That’s blood!”

Concerned for their daughter, Adams instructed her husband to stay with her while she and her father rushed over to help, discovering that the man had suffered a stab wound to the neck.

She described the chaotic scene to hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, explaining how the man was bleeding profusely while his friends were in a state of panic.

The “American Hustle” actress, 51, noted that “luckily” they were going to the beach and had towels with them.

She shared that her father “applied pressure” with the towels as he’d been “on lots of scenes.”

“And I’m sitting there somehow going, ‘You need to calm your pulse rate. Take a deep breath in,” she shared, adding that in the moment, she was “focused.”

“I was like, ‘The more you struggle, the faster you’re going to bleed. Just lay down. Let’s elevate this,’” the “Enchanted” star said.

In a bizarre turn of events, the “Junebug” actress said she ran into the stabbing victim a year later while dining out.

“A guy walks up to me in the restaurant. He’s like, ‘I heard a story that you and your dad were on the scene of a guy getting stabbed,’” she recalled.

She shared that she told him it was “so funny” he “heard that story.”

“And I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s you.’ And it was him.”

Calling the unexpected reunion “crazy,” Adams divulged that the man was “all teary” and that he “had his son with him” at the time.

When asked if he told her the circumstances surrounding his stabbing, Adams said that “as far as [she] could make out,” he’d been having drinks with an old college pal before hitting a liquor store.

“They were going back to someone’s house and he just freaked out,” she continued, while confessing that she didn’t “know kind of what the whole story” was.

Adams isn’t the only celebrity to have been involved in a scary situation — Hayes himself shared that he’d once helped a man who’d been shot by turning his own shirt into a tourniquet to stem the bleeding before accompanying him to the hospital.

“He lived and he was OK,” Hayes shared, noting that he’d been “topless” the entire time.

Following “The Wire” actor James Ransone’s death in December, a woman came forward to share that he’d once saved her from a sexual assault by frightening the attacker.

And in 2019, Danny Trejo rescued an infant trapped in an overturned car following an accident in Los Angeles.

A tragic incident occurred Tuesday when an American Forces Network staff member perished following a vehicular accident near a military site in California, having sustained a gunshot wound.

The employee, who remains unidentified, was en route to work at the March Air Reserve Base, situated about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, around 8 a.m. when the incident unfolded, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. NBC LA reported that both individuals involved in the collision were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

“Subsequent investigation revealed the victim had sustained injuries indicative of a gunshot,” confirmed the sheriff’s department. “The Moreno Valley Investigation Bureau is spearheading the ongoing inquiry. As of now, further information remains unavailable.”

Deputies were initially dispatched to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon, the news outlet reported. California Highway Patrol officers told deputies that both drivers were hospitalized in critical condition. Details about what led to the shooting were not disclosed.

Well, that triumph was short-lived.

Following the high spirits from England’s thrilling second-half display in their 4-2 victory over Croatia in Dallas last week, Thomas Tuchel’s squad seemed to hit a wall, echoing the bleak and chilly New England weather.

Late in the game, Nico O’Reilly’s header clattered against the crossbar, but the match had already showcased an England side looking alarmingly lifeless. In contrast, Ghana grew more threatening as the contest stretched on, providing a couple of heart-stopping moments of their own.

Gone was the fluidity and daring seen in Dallas. Instead, England delivered a tentative display, casting doubts on their ability to measure up against form teams like France and Spain, who are already showing the prowess needed to clinch the tournament.

Although not as disheartening as the infamous 0-0 draw with Algeria in Cape Town in 2010, this showing was in the same vein, lacking ambition and boldness. Rumor has it the Scottish fans drank Boston dry during their visit, but looking at England’s effort, one might joke they drained the city of its passion and drive as well.

England and Ghana now sit joint top of Group L and England face a nervous wait to see if they can get a big enough win over Panama in New York on Saturday to take them to the top of the group and ensure that they play their Round of 32 match in Atlanta, as most had expected them to. Suddenly, that seems far from certain. All the optimism from the win over Croatia has gone up in smoke.

Tuchel had treated the England side to a modest evolution after the win over Croatia that won so many plaudits from fans and analysts alike. They were both at the back, which made sense, given England’s vulnerability in that opening game in Dallas. Marc Guehi came in for John Stones. Djed Spence replaced Nico O’Reilly. Anthony Gordon was fortunate to keep his place ahead of Marcus Rashford.

There had been speculation before the game about whether England’s players would shake hands with Ghana’s former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, who has been charged with seven counts of rape by the Metropolitan Police. Spence appeared to withdraw his hand when he passed Partey. Partey denies the allegations.

It was a slow start. Ghana sat off England. England tried to find a way through. Declan Rice whistled a free kick just over the crossbar from 25 yards, Noni Madueke and Reece James began to make inroads on the right and Gordon started to find space on the left. England stretched Ghana as much as they could.

When the hydration break came, England did not need it for hydration because it had been raining most of the morning and it was cold enough for some fans to be wearing sweaters. But Tuchel, who had talked about the change the break makes to the rhythm of a match, used it enthusiastically anyway.

He was animated on the touchline as England’s players gathered round him. He made a couple of points forcefully to Bellingham, who had been one of England’s better performers, and to Gordon. Once play resumed, Madueke became England’s main threat. His willingness to run at the Ghana defence again and again gave Tuchel’s team glimpses of openings.

But the first signs of frustration crept into England’s play, too. Rice, who had desperately been trying to inject urgency and penetration into England’s play, was booked for a foul on Nicholas Opoku and even though the England midfielder was bitterly amused by the decision, the tackle was late and clumsy. The sanction was fair.

Kane had half a chance in time added on at the end of the first half when Rice clipped a first time pass to him inside the area but Ghana smothered the England captain with attention. By the time Kane got a shot away, four Ghana players were surrounding him. One of them blocked it.

A few seconds before the interval, Bellingham left his shoulder in on Opoku as the Ghana defender cleared the ball and the incident angered Ghana boss Carlos Queiroz. The bad feeling lingered. When the whistle blew for half-time, Bellingham and Queiroz appeared to exchange words and there was some finger-pointing and some barging. Things were heating up.

Bellingham was earning his 50th cap and so, at 22 years and 359 days old, he had become the youngest player to reach this milestone for England’s men’s team. No one wanted him to mark it with a disciplinary issue.

Ghana started the second half confidently and five minutes into it, they created the best chance of the game so far. Marvin Senaya and Gordon watched a long crossfield pass from the Ghana left dropping towards them and Senaya muscled his way in front of the Barcelona winger. He took it on his chest and advanced on goal but his shot was smothered by an England challenge.

Some concern crept in. Ghana had started to play well. England looked like a side that had run out of ideas. There were fewer signs of the verve and fluency that decorated their second half against Croatia, although, on cue, they produced a flowing move that ended with Madueke’s shot being headed away. It was England’s first shot on target. It had taken 57 minutes to muster it.

Both teams had an escape of sorts midway through the half when Prince Adu chased down a through ball and Jordan Pickford raced out to try to clear it. Pickford has a history of reckless challenges and it looked as if he had made another when he and Adu collided just outside the box.

Both men went down in a heap. Ghana appealed for a red card against the goalkeeper but replays showed that neither men had made contact with the ball and that, actually, Adu’s challenge on Pickford was worse than Pickford’s part of the equation. It was a glimpse of how quickly things can go wrong at World Cups.

On the touchline, Tuchel cut a more and more frustrated figure, waving his arms and clutching his hands to his face in despair. He brought on Bukayo Saka for Gordon. Morgan Rogers, Eberechi Eze and Nico O’Reilly came on, too, but still England toiled.

England had another escape 10 minutes from time when Adu burst free down the right and was clean in on Pickford. Ezri Konsa came across and appeared to foul him in the box but Adu was adjudged to have been offside. England were living on their nerves.

They pressed for a winner in the dying minutes but it was not enough. And frankly, it would have been more than they deserved.
