All Choked Up

Did James Gandolfini flub his lines during a recent performance of the play God of Carnage on Broadway?

Or was the former Tony Soprano in dire need of the Heimlich??

Gandolfini was in the middle of performing on Thursday night when, according to an audience member, “he was onstage drinking and smoking a cigar, and he forgot his lines. He had to start over from the beginning of the scene.”

Reps for God of Carnage have claimed that wasn’t the case!

“James choked on his own saliva and couldn’t speak, so he went off and got a drink of water and they started again,” according to the rep.

Be careful!
