Bob Odenkirk recovers from heart ailment, resumes shooting for Better Call Saul 

Actor Bob Odenkirk has resumed shooting for the final season of Better Call Saul. The announcement was made by the actor on Twitter on Tuesday. Odenkirk was out of action for several weeks after suffering a heart attack on set.

Sharing a picture of him getting his makeup done on the sets, he wrote, “Back to work on Better Call Saul! So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people. BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting!”

In July, it was reported that Odenkirk had collapsed on the New Mexico set of Better Call Saul. The crew immediately rushed him to the hospital. Following that, a massive outpouring of love was received from all quarters.

Odenkirk proceeded to share health updates with fans. In July, he confirmed that he’d had a "heart attack” and shared that he would “take a beat to recover” and resume work shortly. He wrote that he was “overwhelmed” by the love he’d received.

Odenkirk, a veteran comic actor who co-created the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show with Bob and David, is also known for his works on Saturday Night Live and The Ben Stiller Show. He has been a part of Alexander Payne’s Nebraska and Steven Spielberg’s The Post. Earlier this year, Odenkirk forayed into action with Nobody, an actioner about a middle-aged family man.

Odenkirk plays lawyer Jimmy McGill on Better Call Saul, a spinoff to Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul will conclude its run with a sixth season, due out in early 2022. The final season will have 13 episodes.
