In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper tells the well-known Irish talk show host and comedian Graham Norton about what he defines as the worst moment of his life. He was stabbed in 1989.
In front of the newspaper, 60-year-old Norton says that he lost half of his body’s blood in the incident, and found the whole thing traumatic.
Asked the nurse if he was going to die
Norton was around 26 years old when the incident took place. According to several media, he was attacked by a gang of boys.
The next morning he woke up in a hospital. He says that he remembers a nurse asking if they should contact someone for him. Then he thought the following:
“I don’t want to worry my parents, but if I die, they’ll probably come and say goodbye to me because they’d be annoyed if I didn’t tell them,” says Norton.
Furthermore, he remembers asking the nurse if he was going to die, and that he was met by a verbal pause before pointing out that “this is not a place for pauses”.

Turn for the better
Norton says that he trained in theater and drama at the time, and the knife incident put everything into perspective. He was in his third year of study, and he and his fellow students were to have auditions in connection with a performance.
According to Norton, the auditions led to both tears and the slamming of doors among several.
– And I just sat there and thought “I’m alive.” I’m fine”. So in a way it changed my life for the better, he adds Telegraph.
Norton has been seen in a number of programs on television for several years. Last year, he co-chaired the Eurovision final in Liverpool, Great Britain.
