The stars of United States political satire Veep are in disbelief that Australian MP Graham Perrett choked on his dinner and gave himself a black eye while watching the TV show.
The Queensland Labor MP was having a sushi dinner on Sunday while watching the show, before he started laughing “at the wrong time” and choking on some rice.
Mr Perrett then, while running from the lounge room to the kitchen, hit the edge of his kitchen island.
He knocked himself unconscious, resulting in an injured nose, black eye and having to receive three stitches in his cheek.
“My wife is still laughing, every time she looks at me she’s like, you’re ridiculous,” he told the ABC.
But despite the pain, which was “not much fun”, he said the best thing to come out of the incident was a message from Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Louis-Dreyfus had trouble believing it when it was brought to her attention by BuzzFeed journalist Mark Di Stefano.
