In 2018, Bob Odenkirk was informed that he had plaque buildup in his heart, but he received contradictory medical advice on how to treat it.
Subsequently, the actor experienced a severe heart attack while filming the final season of “Better Call Saul.”
Odenkirk made a remarkable recovery and returned to filming just five weeks later to complete the show’s final episodes.
Initially, Odenkirk referred to the heart attack as a “short” one, but it was later disclosed that he would have died if not for CPR and multiple defibrillator shocks.
In a recent interview with NPR, the actor revealed that his heart had stopped beating for 18 minutes during the incident.
Odenkirk’s heart attack has prompted him to focus more on his health and wellness, and he has spoken publicly about the importance of taking care of oneself.
In a statement released after the incident, Odenkirk thanked the doctors who saved his life and urged his fans to take their health seriously.
