According to TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter, “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk collapsed while shooting the final season of the show. On July 27th (Tuesday), the 58-year-old star was rushed to a New Mexico hospital near the set. While no further information is available, it has been reported that he is still under medical attention.
Bob Odenkirk is best known for his critically acclaimed role as Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill on the Emmy-winning show. The news of Odenkirk’s collapse comes as a surprise as the star has followed a healthy lifestyle ever since his leading role in the 2021 action film “Nobody.” The “Breaking Bad” star trained for two years for his role as Hutch Mansell in the film.
The actor, who was previously known for his comedy roles, had recently reinvented himself into non-comic characters in projects like “The Post (2017)” and “Nobody (2021).”
The news of Bob Odenkirk’s hospitalization left several fans worried on Twitter.
Several of Bob Odenkirk’s fans prayed for his quick recovery, while some were genuinely concerned about his well-being and health status.
The actor's health condition after hospitalization is soon expected to be informed publicly by his management and AMC (“Better Call Saul” producing Network) officials.
The actor had recently promoted “Nobody” on “Men’s Health” while showcasing his fitness regime and training process. Bob Odenkirk followed a 10-minute bike ride on his steep neighborhood road, followed by stunt conditioning drills for 15 minutes, bodyweight pull-ups for which he uses a tree in his backyard, and circuit training, including various other workouts.
In an interview with Insider, Odenkirk said:
“I didn’t want to look like a superhero. I’ve had friends who do these superhero movies, and they do that kind of weight training, and it’s all about their biceps and all that sh*t.”
He further added:
“I want to do my own fighting, but I also want to look like a dad.”
While it is purely speculation, many fans are optimistic about Odenkirk’s recovery due to his recent foray into a healthier lifestyle.
