Bob Odenkirk has reassured fans he is 'doing great' after suffering a 'small heart attack' that caused him to collapse on the set of Better Call Saul in New Mexico in late July. The 58-year-old actor shared the update on Twitter on Friday, saying he had experienced 'my very own "It's a wonderful life" week of people insisting I make the world slightly better.'
Odenkirk ended his brief message by sending fans his 'love' and thanking them for their well wishes, adding: 'Wow! Thank you, I love everyone right now but let's keep expectations reasonable!'
The star had last updated his audience on July 30, when he revealed the details of his health scare, confirming he had suffered a 'small heart attack' but was 'going to be okay' and would be 'back soon.' He also thanked the doctors who were able to 'fix the blockage' without surgery, as well as AMC and Sony for their support.
DailyMail.com had confirmed earlier that Odenkirk was rushed to hospital on Tuesday, July 27, after an incident on the New Mexico set of his hit series. Sources told TMZ that the actor went down mid-scene and crew members immediately called for an ambulance.
Odenkirk's costar David Cross also spoke out on Friday, tweeting: 'Just got off the phone with Bob and he's doing great! Joking and japing and joshing. Both he and his family are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and concern everyone has shown. You will be hearing from him soon. But he's doing really well!!!'
The Emmy-winning actor is currently filming the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul, which began production on March 10 this year. The series is scheduled to air in early 2022.
