In July 2021, the 59-year-old Emmy-nominated star was rushed to the hospital when he collapsed while shooting the sixth and final season of the AMC series in New Mexico.

A few days after the incident, the actor revealed he suffered \"a small heart attack\" and that he was able to be treated without surgery.

Odenkirk took to Twitter to share an update with fans and say thank you for the \"outpouring of love.\"

\"I'm going to be ok,\" Odenkirk wrote at the time, mentioning the doctors who fixed a clogged artery without surgery. \"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.\"

Since his heart attack, Odenkirk has urged others to learn CPR.

\"Take CPR classes,\" he said in March during an interview on \"The Howard Stern Show.\" \"Because you can save lives.\"
