Spiritualized's Jason Pierce Helped Samantha Morton Recover From Stroke

Ok, we knew that Samantha Morton was a big Spiritualized fan, but we didn't realize she was such bff's with main man Jason Pierce.

Morton revealed to the press just recently that she had a severe stroke in 2006 that left her near death, days after being struck on the head when part of her ceiling collapsed.

And apparently one of her saving graces was Pierce who had a similar near-death experience with pneumonia in 2005. She credits him with helping her cope.

"Jason and I have been mirroring each other. He was really sick and then I had a stroke at the beginning of that year. He was the only person I knew who understood what that was like, being near to death. He's just an incredible person. He's very courageous, and he helped me get through it all."

Only 30 years old, Morton's stroke was so brutal, she just to relearn to walk, but made a full recovery. She had her second child Edie in January of this year. The two have sort-of teamed up in Harmony Korine's latest film, "Mister Lonely." Morton plays the female lead and Pierce soundtracked much of the movie. Maybe it was Morton that suggested Spiritualized to Korine?
