Jimmy Kimmel recently opened up about an “untold story” explaining how he saved Matt Damon ’s life.

During an interview with Variety that was published on Monday, Kimmel said Damon, 54, and his brother, Kyle, came over to the late-night host’s home to eat pork ribs he made for dinner one night.

“He came late, was very hungry, and started eating fast,” Kimmel recalled. “He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half.”

He then joked a little about how the situation might appear given a prolonged (but fake) beef between the two stars.

“I said, ‘We have got to get him to the hospital’ because if he dies in my house, I’m going to prison for the rest of my life,” he joked. “I will never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder.”
