The actress said of the incident that she went “head into the wall” and began “foaming at the mouth, completely blue, trying to swallow her tongue.”

“I was at a loss for words,” the actress continued. “But I thought to myself, ‘This is what death must be like.’ You wake up and Bradley Cooper is saying, ‘I’m going to the hospital with you, Brooke,’ and he’s holding my hand…and I’m like, ‘This is weird and surreal.’ ”
