After the actor was rushed to the hospital, family and representatives said he was recovering from a “heart-related incident” and in “stable” condition.

“I had a small heart attack,” Odenkirk elaborated on Friday. “But I’m going to be OK thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.” The 58-year-old actor said he would take some time to recover, “but I’ll be back soon.” 

According to TMZ, Odenkirk required medical attention on set in New Mexico while filming the sixth and final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad spinoff.

As news of his collapse spread, many in the entertainment world, and beyond, expressed their concern for Odenkirk on social media. 

In an Instagram post Wednesday, Odenkirk’s Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston expressed how anxious he was about the collapse. “Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you,” Cranston wrote.
