Bob Odenkirk has officially spoken out about his collapse while on the New Mexico set of "Better Call Saul" earlier this week.
The actor, 58, took to social media on Friday to address the reports and thanked fans and loved ones for their well wishes.
"To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week. And for the outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care for me. It’s overwhelming. But I feel the love and it means so much," he wrote in a tweet.
"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," he continued in a subsequent follow-up tweet. "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."
