As a passionate gamer and avid fan of both film and television, I have always admired Bob Odenkirk‘s versatile acting skills. The news of his heart attack while shooting “Better Call Saul” in July 2021 left me concerned and worried, but hearing about his full recovery and the positive impact of his fitness regimen brought a sense of relief.
In July 2021, “Better Call Saul” fans around the world held their breath in concern when Bob Odenkirk, the star of the show, experienced a heart attack while filming for AMC’s successful prequel to “Breaking Bad.” Fortunately, the actor fully recuperated and went on to complete the series, providing a satisfactory conclusion to the criminal tale of Jimmy McGill, the morally bankrupt lawyer also known as Saul Goodman (who famously represented Walter White).
On “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” Odenkirk spoke candidly about his well-known health emergency. He explained that an ambulance took around 30 minutes to arrive on set, but he received prompt CPR. His fitness, which was crucial for the action-packed film “Nobody” (currently available on Peacock), proved beneficial for his heart. “I was in great shape,” he shared, “and that helped my heart endure that event. Physical activity will carry you through all challenges.”
