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.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.— Mr. Bob Odenkirk (@mrbobodenkirk) July 30, 2021 Bryan Cranston, who starred alongside Odenkirk on “Breaking Bad,” took to Instagram on Wednesday to tell fans he was “anxious all morning” after learning the news. https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3-S72pFCy/ “He is in the hospital in Albuquerque and receiving the medical attention he needs but his condition is not known to the public as yet,” Cranston wrote. “Please take a moment in your day to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you.”
