Former talk show show, Jay Leno, suffered an eye injury recently after falling from a hill that left him with facial injuries and an eye patch. The 74-year-old celebrity shared details about the incident with TMZ and explained how the accident took place over the weekend. As per the details, Jay was staying at a hotel atop a hill and attempted to walk to a nearby restaurant without a car. ''To get to it, I didn't have a car, so you had to walk about a mile and a half around. I said, 'Well, the hill doesn't look that steep. It's about 60-70 feet. Let me see if I can go down the hill, he said.
I fell down. Boom, boom, boom. I rolled down the hill, hit my head on a rock, knocked me in the eye," he added. Despite his injuries, Leno performed a show just a few hours later at Yaamava' Casino in Southern California and delayed seeking medical attention until he returned to Los Angeles.
"The great thing about this age [is] you don't learn by your mistakes, you just keep doing the same stupid thing," the comedian shared. For the unversed, this is not the first time Leno has faced a serious injury.
In November 2022, he suffered second and third degree burns on his face, chest, and hands during a garage fire caused by a gasoline blaze. After receiving treatment at the Grossman Burn Center, Leno made a full recovery and returned to work within weeks.
