Last week “School of Rock” star Jack Black came down with a mystery illness that kept him bedridden for several days. Not knowing what was wrong with him, he thought he was going to die.
“Just last weekend, I thought I was knocking on death’s door. I have never had this thing before where it has to go out of you in all directions. I’m not going into the grisly details, but it was explosive. Simultaneous explosions. I was wondering whether it was the sushi I ate or whether I caught it from someone and the doctor said it was the latter.”
Black was concerned that he was going to pass it on to his two young boys, so he became obsessive with his little bottle of Purell.
The most embarrassing part of his ‘explosive illness’ was when he was was asked by his physician to provide a urine sample. A medical worker, toting a bio-hazard bucket, came to retrieve the sample container from him and said, “I know you.”
