Earlier in the week, American actor Bob Odenkirk sparked worries among fans and netizens after being hospitalized from the set of a new season of the TV show "Better Call Saul".
Bob Odenkirk took to Twitter to finally break the silence over his sudden hospitalization, revealing that he had "a small heart attack" and sharing plans to pause his work in order to recover.
"I had a small heart attack. But I'm going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery", the actor tweeted. "Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I'm going to take a beat to recover but I'll be back soon."
Odenkirk also expressed gratitude to his family and friends who surrounded him during the week, marking an "outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care", as it "means so much".
