DC TV: Beloved THE FLASH/SUPERGIRL Director Kevin Smith Survived A Massive Heart Attack Tonight

Honourary Vancouverite Kevin Smith survived “a massive heart attack” tonight.

And in true Kevin Smith style shared the shocking news from his hospital bed.

After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground! pic.twitter.com/M5gSnW9E5h

Smith was filming his new comedy special Kevin Smith Live! in Glendale, California. He completed one show but left for hospital before the second show.

Celebrity reaction.

Kevin we don’t know each other too good but I have loved you since Clerks and I’m praying my ass off for you cause I believe in the healing power of prayer. Can you please pray with me people!? 🙏♥️ https://t.co/syB7BiQaoY

Thinking of my dude @thatkevinsmith today. You work too much, bro! And I am lucky enough to be able to say from experience that when Kevin works on something, he gives 100% of himself in every capacity. I’ve marvelled at his work ethic, positivity and energy many-a-times. He’s a unicorn. Send him some positive, healing vibes today. The world needs him. #TheWorldNeedsKevinSmith

Kevin has been an inspiration to me for years, since Clerks. The last couple of years, getting to work with one of my heroes, leaving my own mark on him (literally and figuratively) kinda becoming friends has been nothing short of mind-blowing.

We have more to do together, sir! https://t.co/nDBSKsUWX6

Kevin Smith’s signature style is a white backwards baseball cap and long brown coat.

This is his Silent Bob look from his debut film Clerks and he maintains it to this day — albeit with custom-made jerseys and jorts.

Directing Supergirl.

Kevin Smith goes black tie at the Vancouver Art Gallery directing The Flash this month.

The Vancouver Film School grad is championing east Vancouver’s Rio Theatre with two benefit shows on March 30th for the #SavetheRio campaign. To stop the theatre from being demolished.

Everyone hopes his recovery is swift but March 30th seems too soon for him to be back in action.
