Better Call Saul - Rebecca Bob Odenkirk

Bob Odenkirk issued an update for fans following his health scare earlier this week, thanking them for their support. As reported previously, Odenkirk was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed while filming the final season of Better Call Saul. His representative confirmed that Odenkirk suffered a “heart-related incident” and was in stable condition.

Giving an update on Friday, the actor noted that he had a small heart attack and did not require surgery. He wrote:

“Hi. It’s Bob.
Thank you.
To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week.
And for the outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care for me. It’s overwhelming. But I feel the love and it means so much.

I had a small heart attack. But I’m going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.
Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I’m going to take a beat to recover but I’ll be back soon.”

On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Mr. Odenkirk on a quick and full recovery.
