Ladies – If you went into labor in middle of a shopping mall, which celeb would you want by your side to keep you calm until real help arrived? I know, this is a silly question, but one woman found herself in this exact predicament while shopping in a New Jersey Mall for the holidays.
According to US, the lady was approaching an escalator in a Neiman Marcus department store at Garden State Plaza and her water suddenly broke, sending her into labor. Lucky for this woman, funny man Chris Rock was only a few feet away and rushed to her side.
Quickly thinking on his feet and relying on the old adage that laughter is the best medicine, Rock started to, well, he started to be himself. He told jokes to keep the woman calm until real help arrived.
“He was making the crowd, and the woman in labor, laugh,” a witness said of the world-renowned comic. “She recognized who he was immediately, and he stayed there until the paramedics took her away.”
OK–that’s just too cute – Chris, you get my comic in funny shining armor award!
