Rock star Anthony Kiedis claims he saved a baby's life while filming a Carpool Karaoke segment for James Corden's Late Late Show.
During a radio interview, the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman boasted his alleged act of heroism took place after part of the TV routine that involved a dance-off on the street.
According to Kiedis, a woman emerged from a nearby house holding a baby and saying it couldn't breathe.
"We all ran across the street, the woman thrust the baby into my arms, the baby was not breathing and I thought 'I'm gonna try and do a little baby CPR real quick, see if I can get some air in this kid," said Kiedis.
"[It]Tried to open the mouth, [it was] like locked shut. So I started rubbing the belly, bubbles came out of the mouth, the eyes rolled back into place, the ambulance showed up and I handed the baby over, who was now breathing and fine, and we went back to Carpool Karaoke."
Kiedis also referred to his actions as "a beautiful thing" during the interview, and claimed the baby looked at him "the entire time until the ambulance came".
"When you're a dad, and someone says, 'My baby!' you jog across the street," he added, sporting a well-maintained moustache and purple t-shirt during the interview.
Kiedis did not explain why the incident wasn't caught on camera, despite the presence of Late Late Show cameras.
