'They screamed their heads off'

Bob Odenkirk has shockingly revealed that medics had to perform CPR on him when he had a heart attack on the set of "Better Call Saul," sharing his co-stars helped save his life.


The American actor, 59, fell ill while shooting the final series of the "Breaking Bad" spin-off series last summer, saying the heart attack was caused by plaque breaking off and blocking an artery.

Odenkirk said,

"I had a heart attack. I had some plaque break off and block the artery, and they [Patrick Fabian and Rhea Seehorn] were right there. They came over, didn't know what to do but screamed their heads off, and then the medic showed up and performed CPR. Thank God, very lucky, very lucky.

In past interviews, the "Breaking Bad" actor has been known to credit his co-stars, Seehorn and Fabian, for "screaming their heads off" and alerting the medic, who then performed CPR, which saved his life.

Odenkirk detailed that Seehorn and Fabian were waiting on the side of the set due to COVID restrictions.

"We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart-related incident," the actor's reps said. "He and his family would like to express gratitude for the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, as well as his cast, crew, and producers who have stayed by his side."

The Emmy nominee returned to the "Better Call Saul" set in September 2021. The sixth and final season of the series is set to air in April on AMC.
