Bob Odenkirk names the episode he suffered the heart attack while filming

The final season of Better Call Saul premiered on Tuesday. In the course of the broadcast of the “Breaking Bad” spin-off, a special episode will also flicker across the screens – namely the episode in which the main actor Bob Odenkirk suffered a comparatively mild heart attack. As the actor announced, it will be broadcast on July 18. “The weirdest thing about it is I really can’t remember that day,” the 59-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter.

Ten days memory erased

He continued, “So I’m watching an episode that I was in that I don’t remember, that’s a rare thing. I mean, usually you look at something and remember it even if it was filmed months ago. But in this case the memory is completely gone. It’s very strange. I gotta tell you, it’s kinda weird when you’ve basically lost a week and a half. There’s nothing there, just gone. It’s a strange experience. Otherwise I’m fine.”

Odenkirk: “I feel very good”

Apparently, the American has recovered to a large extent: “I feel very good. I’m in good shape. I’m going to start training right now!” he said, adding, “I haven’t shot for five weeks. I had a five week break to recover. And then when I came back, we limited the shooting to 12-hour days… So they took care of me and I was able to pull through with the shooting.” He also hopes audiences won’t see any difference between the spots , filmed before the heart attack and those filmed after. Three quarters of the scene was shot on the day of the heart attack and the other quarter after, Odenkirk said.
