A quick-witted waiter reportedly saved Nicole Kidman from choking in a top New York restaurant.
Apparently Nicole was eating her starter at the Spice Market when a piece of food got stuck in her throat.
The waiter spotted she was in difficulties and rushed to perform the Heimlich Manoeuvre to dislodge it.
The actress had been sitting on her own in a private area of the restaurant when it happened.
She was waiting for friends and had ordered some vegetable entrees as appetisers.
Nicole offered to reward the man with all of the money in her purse but he turned it down, saying he was just doing his job.
