Bob Odenkirk Rushed to Hospital

Hope hot daddy Bob is OK.

Bob, we love you, get up!

He had a surprisingly hot ass, but ...

Holy shit, R2. That takes huge balls!

And his body was hot!

Maybe he was just dehydrated

He's apparently an asshole so i dont' care

No, R7! Don't say that. How do you know?

[quote] Holy shit, [R2]. That takes huge balls!

Oh, please. People have been streaking for years.

Did Bob and Dave do a lot of nudity on their show?

His SmartLess (Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Sean Hayes) podcast from April was very interesting.

[quote]His SmartLess (Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Sean Hayes) podcast from April was very interesting.

Why, because it proves homosexuality is not doled out based on who has actually earned it?

I hope he gets decent medical care in the Albuquerque area. Most of the hospitals there are shitty.

I don't know what you are talking about, r13.

R15, from your post, I'm thinking I shouldn't be surprised I already had 13 on ignore.

Good idea, r15 — walk, do not run, to the nearest exit.

He better finish the season before he dies

Marla Gibbs sends her regards.

Why have they waited so long to continue? "Mike" is not getting any younger

I hope his loved ones were informed before the tabloids. I got the news alert on my phone. I'd hate hearing that about someone I loved.

It has been a while since an update. I love this guy and his character(s). I'm nervous about this. Yeah, Mary! Whatever. ABQ hospitals are a quick air flight away from Santa Fe, or even the SF Bay Area. If he can get to a good hospital, fingers and toes crossed that he will be fine. That said, the "quietness" coming from his camp has me worried.

I hope he hasn't been sampling the product.

Since he collapsed, can we call him…

"On-set collapse" + no immediate updates = no bueno

david cross✍ @davidcrosss I will share what I know when I can but Bob is one of the strongest people I know both physically and spiritually. He WILL get through this.

Seriously, how the hell does TMZ get these scoops? Does every Hollywood-related person have them on speed dial? WTF?!

R1 meant to write:

Oh Bob Odenkirk we love you get up

I hope he dies to make the news busier.

He found another missing fragment from The Epic of Gilgamesh and Hobby Lobby just had to take care of him ASAP.

I've never heard of him.....but I live in a basement.

I hated Breaking Bad but love his show! I hope he's ok. His wig is epic!

R2 if he can cup all his junk in one hand like that, he must not have too much down there...

You mean like 99% of the flaccid men of the world?

I'd normally say that no news is bad news, but we didn't find out about this until 11:00 p.m. or so, and no updates in the overnight hours doesn't seem odd to me. If it's noon and we still don't know anything, then I'd start worrying.

He got vaccinated back in March so it's probably not likely, r35. My guess is the heat.

They shoot in 130-degree Albuquerque, so this is no surprise.

[quote] He better finish the season before he dies

You’re an awful, awful person for writing that...

R38 No, I mean that my balls alone would fill my hands. And I am not porn star huge. Odenkirk doesn't have the junk of the average man. I am not sure where your 99% is coming from.

Their gag was planned in advance. So both men and the production team all knew Bob had a small penis. And there is nothing wrong with that. I was just an observation. Why are you tiny-dicked men always so sensitive...??? Geez!

I hope it's dehydration.

But even that......here in Palm Springs some soap publicist MARY! died last month in 120 degree heat. It is NO joke, bitches.

My guess is massive heart attack.

[quote] ABQ hospitals are a quick air flight away from Santa Fe, or even the SF Bay Area.

The SF Bay Area? Have you ever looked at a map of the United States?

If it were a simple thing such as dehydration you'd think somebody from his team would just say so ? It's worrysome

It's starting to sound not-so-good.

Lack of updates and Tweets like David Cross's tweet......do not point to good.

R46 Flights to the SF Bay Area are 2.5 hours, flights to L.A. 2 hours (plus traffic).

Whatever it is does sound serious, and if it is serious, he's going to need a seriously good hospital and medical team.

Hang in there, Bob.

[quote] ABQ hospitals are a quick air flight away from Santa Fe, or even the SF Bay Area.

[quote]The SF Bay Area? Have you ever looked at a map of the United States?

And why would you think Santa Fe (a MUCH smaller city) has better healthcare options than Albuquerque?

The fact there are no updates is scary . Poor guy. People say he is great to work with.

He reminds me so much of the hot neighborhood dad that was my first.

The hell you don’t, R12. Sean Hayes is an Uncle Tom whose existence has set gay people back to the pre-Stonewall bad old days.

R50 Money, honey. It is where the rich people live. I love ABQ, but their medical facilities are a joke.

This is starting to remind me of the radio silence that went down when Carrie Fisher died. Maybe he's already been transported back to California and they are rounding up his wife/relatives to "make some decisions". I do hope I am wrong.

It’s worrisome r54 . Why no updates ? Usually when celebrities in the hospital and they are OK they usually send out a message or a tweet

No update probably means he's not dead. When Carrie Fisher collapsed we knew that someone had tried to revive her on the plane, and people who were on the plane said she didn't ever regain consciousness. We knew it was coming. The complete lack of information about this makes me think they're still running tests and trying to figure out what happened. It's only 9:00 a.m. in Albuquerque right now, 8:00 a.m. if he's been transferred to a California hospital already.

From Bryan's Instagram:

bryancranston's profile picture bryancranston Verified Today I woke up to news that has made me anxious all morning. My friend, Bob Odenkirk collapsed last night on the set of Better Call Saul. 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. Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you.

He took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Thank you r58, that's a little less dramatic than the news saying "Bryan Cranston says PRAY FOR BOB!!!"

A lot of us are anxious. I'm concerned not so much that he's dead but that there's something serious at play here, and not just the effects of the heat.

I’m going to guess he had a stroke.

My sources are telling me that he's passed. OMG. Sad and shocking.

What are your sources r63?

His source is "I didn't get enough hugs as a kid and now I'm trolling for attention on Datalounge," r64.

I hope he’s ok. Too young

DL is often right on with a death report

I also hope he’s okay. Too hot.

probably brain dead. His loved ones are flying over to say final goodbyes...then they pull the plug.

Bob is very mich a Type A personality, as reflected in the famous "Odenkirk Mouth" incident during the making of Mr. Show.

I'm surprised he hasn't been transported yet. Either Bryan has the location wrong, or Bob is not safely "transportable" at this time. He's not stable enough to be moved. Trying to figure out what that could be...

Massive heart attack

Stroke

Aortic tear

He cracked his noggin very badly when he collapsed and they need to keep his brain from swelling .

He has a serious spinal injury from his collapse that requires fusion

This is a depressing list

Where did you hear he cracked his head, R73?

You can die from a fall. if he hit his head real bad, goes into coma and may never wake up!

*hits

sorry, typing on mobile phone!

There's absolutely no evidence he hit his head. Calm down, Marys!

Or perhaps it is not particularly serious at all.

Fuck Bryan “Did you hear that Anthony Hopkins thinks I’m an amazing actor” Cranston.

He’s a a pathetic attention whore.

R73 didn't say he cracked his head. He is just giving a list of potential things that could've happened to Odenkirk

R74 and others.

I was just coming up with a list of what COULD have happened to make him a transport risk.

No new information or confirmed information. Pure conjecture, because why isn't he back in his home state yet?

Thanks R81

Okay, I can see how that's supposed to read now. I thought that was a break somewhere in the list. They forgot to add exhaustion, though.

They are reporting that he collapsed on set.

Collapsed --2. (of a person) fall down and become unconscious, typically through illness or injury.

And then people immediately started acting as if it had been reported elsewhere, r81.

I doubt r73 meant anything by it but Dataloungers are notoriously unable to read or discern speculation from truth, and once he posted that list, people were going to take it as more than some rando's list of random things that might have happened.

R78 didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes you just have to tell people to calm the hell down.

r84, TMZ made it clear that they didn't know if he was unconscious or not when he was taken away by ambulance. The implication was that he had been but may have been awake by the time the ambulance got there. Nobody knows for sure.

DL was right about Marcus D'Amico.

I keep anxiously checking back to see if this thread or the "DEAD to me!" thread have been updated.

Yes, I know, MARY!

Aaron Paul: "I love you my friend." Followed by a black heart emoji.

OMG what does he know?! 😢

[quote]No update probably means he's not dead.

Do you live in Oppositeville?

Someone should shoot the DL "Dead To Me" retards. Just like the Vivian Vance troll should be shoved through a wood chipper.

Other than that, I pray Bob's okay.

I was thinking about Bob Odenkirk yesterday because I was watching clips of Tim & Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job! He was also on Mr. Show and he wrote the 'Van down by the river' SNL skit.

Why couldn’t this have happened to somebody a lot of people loathe like Donald Trump?

Have you seen what that bastard eats? HE is a heart attack just waiting to happen!

Even with Carrie fisher , they gave us the never changing “ stable “ update .

Never heard or read anything bad about this guy. Seems he is very well liked.

Thank you R63, I gave you a WW for giving us the info!

R63 sure has a lot of sock puppets.

Bob's son Nate liked this joke tweet about his dad which makes me think the situation is not that serious.

[quote]What are your sources [R63]?

The voices in his head.

The "I hope it's not Covid!" posters need to get a grip. Which would you rather face: Covid-19, especially as a vaccinated person, or a heart attack or stroke?

R7, fuck you, I've worked with him and he is a sweetheart.

I really like him so I hope he's fine but like with DMX, it's been 12 hours and no new news. That usually means coma.

Stable as in "stable in a coma".

It’s not unusual for family members to hold on to slightest bit of hope. Why hasn’t the son updated and said oh my dad’s undergoing surgery, or my dad had a heart attack etc.

A friend mentioned he trained for *two years* to get into shape for his action movie Nobody. I hope he didn't weaken a valve or vessels doing those intense workouts.

Oh, god now I am guessing aneurysm!

Noooo!

This was my first thought, R106. He did some intensive training beginning from nothing, and in his mid 50s.

I ran into Bob at Tacos Villa Corona in Silverlake. He was having lunch and talking business with someone else. When I left, I walked by him and told him I thought he was awesome. He gave me a smile and a thumbs up.

Sigh. One of the most recent pics on his Instagram account is when he, Seehorn and Quezada got vaccinated, so naturally the comments are filling up with anti-vaxxers saying the vaccine is to blame. People are the worst.

The more time that goes by with no word, the worse the news. I'm not a troll and I hope for the best, but this is not looking good.

Odenkirk was vaccinated on March 27, that was four months ago.

Ignore the idiots trying to make this a vaccine thing. Don't give them the time of day. Don't spread their misinformation.

Should have a shelf full of Emmys for his work in BETTER CALL SAUL, esp those first couple of seasons. Michael McKean too.

PLEASE let him be OK.

Agree with R106. It has to be from all of the dieting/rigorous exercise and being older. In my 20s, I went crazy with a health regime and ended up collapsing.

I was just talking about Dump. R93, to a friend. I predicted that bloated pice of crap carcass will live forever, as his ilk does.

[quote]It has to be from all of the dieting/rigorous exercise and being older.

What "it"? We don't know what "it" is.

I think whatever happened is very serious. Usually TMZ has the scoop but they’re silent. I think it’s out of respect for the seriousness, otherwise they’d be all over this. If the end comes, they’ll break the story.

R116 is an "it". What a twat.

[Quote] What "it"? We don't know what "it" is.

Collapse. You cut out that part of the quote.

R116, he obviously took on a regime his mid-50s body wasn't previously adept at doing. That takes a toll.

[quote]Usually TMZ has the scoop but they’re silent. I think it’s out of respect for the seriousness

You have got to be kidding me. TMZ has never done anything out of respect.

They haven't posted any updates because they don't know anything.

When my brother was on life support, it was a local news story. I had friends of his and people I'd never met DMing me on Facebook asking me for updates when I was trying to process that my brother was dying.

Have a little empathy for Odenkirk's wife and kids. They don't owe anyone an update, whatever news they're dealing with right now.

[quote] A friend mentioned he trained for *two years* to get into shape for his action movie Nobody. I hope he didn't weaken a valve or vessels doing those intense workouts.

This was my first thought.

Agree r110 Also Cranston's message was rather somber.

Aaron Paul's message with the black heart wasn't exactly cuddly "everything will be fine"

Michael Mckean "Sending huge love to our @mrbobodenkirk. You got this, brother." Could be anything.

Rhea Seehorn hasn't said anything at all and that freaks me out the most. From everything I've read, they are very close. Maybe she's hovering in the hospital.

Some of you need to accept that you simply do not know what has happened. Making up stories to make it SEEM like you know what's going on is unnecessary.

TMZ? RESPECT???

They reported Kobe's death before the family were told.

Can I update my dead pool?

[quote]Aaron Paul's message with the black heart wasn't exactly cuddly "everything will be fine"

He always uses black hearts! Here's one time where he used it when he was at the dentist.

r125 Welcome to human nature.

R121, actually they have. I guess not out of respect but I think they’d be excoriated if they posted news of a death or something like that while the family is still in the middle of it. Of course, they didn’t do this when Michael Jackson died, but basically they have for other celebrities.

However—they know the scope, and they know they will be the first to report any deaths.

"Aaron Paul used a black heart when he got the COVID vaccine he must have died from the COVID vaccine that's the only explanation! Oh no!"

R126, I would say that that story would have been broken by anyone who had the info, regardless of whether the family knew. TMZ was the organization that got it first. It was that big of a story, one of the biggest in 2020.

We all love Bob Odenkirk, but his passing isn’t on the level of Kobe’s. That said, if I’m implying that TMZ has a heart, that’s not my intent. They’re just reading the room. If this were someone on a level of Kobe, they wouldn’t sit on it.

Good to know that Aaron Paul's black hearts do not carry any traditional meaning.

Why are people bringing up vaccinations?

Black hearts are digital blackface!?

When he and others on BCS got vaccinated for COVID they did a little press release and he posted about it on IG, and now the conspiracists and trolls are saying he collapsed because of the vaccine, r133.

A tiny nugget of new info, that isn't really helpful. From the Washington Post:

Odenkirk was filming “Better Call Saul” in New Mexico when he collapsed and was surrounded by crew members, who called an ambulance, his representative told NBC News. The Associated Press reported that Odenkirk remained in the hospital on Tuesday night.

His wife and manager, Naomi Odenkirk, referred questions to his publicists, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Thanks r137. That was 9 hours ago and still nothing from the publicists.

Just guessing of course but I'd have to say that, at this point, if we're not hearing anything it's because no one knows yet how he's doing.

[quote]Rhea Seehorn hasn't said anything at all and that freaks me out the most. From everything I've read, they are very close. Maybe she's hovering in the hospital.

She also might have been shooting a scene *with* him when it happened.

Oh shit, he collapsed in flagrante?

I agree with the upthread poster who surmised that Bob Odenkirk is dead and that his publicists and the hospital staff are just giving time for friends and family to say their goodbyes. This is basicallywhat happened with Luke Perry; the announcement of his death was delayed a few hours to give his family time to mourn. This isn't an unusual process in such cases.

Not time to mourn. Time to make arrangements.

I remember fellow cast members, family, and friends going in and out of the hospital when it was suspected that Luke Perry had died without any official announcement. Some of them left the hospital in tears. That's indeed a morning period. Only after this period was the public announcement made.

God, I forgot Luke Perry died.

[quote]he obviously took on a regime his mid-50s body wasn't previously adept at doing. That takes a toll.

Regimen, not regime.

TMZ must have had someone in ABQ (at the hospital and/or coroner's office) hours ago, if there was anything to report, I'm sure we'd know about it. I'm not saying it won't happen but I don't think we're at the "keep him on life support until we get all the publicity worked out" stage yet.

I really think the lack of news means he's not fine, but he's also not dead, and that people don't know what his status is yet.

Kind of surprised we haven't even gotten something like a screen capture of a text a crew member sent a friend about what happened, or an account from a fan who was hanging out near the set, or some bystander at the hospital. Not a peep. Very odd.

[Quote] I really think the lack of news means he's not fine, but he's also not dead, and that people don't know what his status is yet.

I thought the same about Tanya Roberts.

I have been a fan of his since Mr. Show. Hope he's okay

Temps yesterday in ABQ weren't that bad - low 70s in the am, daytime high 88. So hopefully not heat related.

Am I remembering right that she WASN'T dead, r149? And then the next day she was?

Yes, R152. She was Schroedinger's Angel.

[quote]No, I mean that my balls alone would fill my hands. And I am not porn star huge. Odenkirk doesn't have the junk of the average man.

OK

THR reporter says everyone is just waiting to hear something right now.

So what would that be?

A few posters have suggested a coma. Maybe they are waiting for him to come out of it, and determine how he seems before saying anything?

The good news is he's alive! The bad news is he's a vegetable! But the good news is vegetables are good for you!

I have bad vibes about his situation. I want to be wrong but I can't shake them.

It is definitely very serious. If it wasn't, they would have said, he received treatment, and is now recovering comfortably blah blah blah.

If he were dead, they would have said so by now. If he had any kind of medical emergency and there was any hope of recovery, there would have been an update by now. So that leaves life support. They are waiting for family to arrive and say their goodbyes before taking him off life support.

Beth Kimbrough's death wasn't made public until a year after she had died.

Beth Kimbrough is dead??!???!????

You don't suppose this could be some fucking stunt for the show?

[quote]Beth Kimbrough's death wasn't made public until a year after she had died.

That was something she requested. Why, I have no idea.

She didn't want paps hounding Chuck.

[quote]She didn't want paps hounding Chuck.

I thought maybe she was afraid that Linda Lavin would want to sing at her services.

Maybe they’re not saying anything because it’s no ones fucking business. Some people still believe in privacy.

Then why the prayers posts?

R147, shame on you for being polite in correcting me and not properly shaming me with an "Oh, dear" which I so richly deserved for that error.

Have any of his family members posted, asking for prayers? I don't think any have. The people asking for prayers are well-wishers.

I wasn’t one of the people jumping to conclusions, but it’s obvious at this point that it’s very serious, regardless of whether he’s living or dead. I’m very surprised in this day and age that nothing has been released...by anyone. Who’d have thought people were capable of being respectful anymore?

Hoping he’ll pull through.

[Quote] The people asking for prayers are well-wishers.

Does Bryan Cranston make a habit of that?

Marcus D'Amico was dead ten or twelve days before his sister confirmed his passing.

I think I read something earlier today along the lines of him being unresponsive while being transferred to the hospital. Doesn't sound good.

He’s probably still non-responsive and they are determining his prognosis. Fingers crossed.

It was "unclear" if he was conscious according to the initial TMZ report.

It happened at 6:30pm or before yesterday, about 8:30pm east coast time. For there to be no update or even media quotes from anonymous sources by this point is indeed very odd this day and time. At least one of his children is very media savvy and works in the business and there’s been no update on his Twitter account either. It’s especially odd that TMZ does it have it pinned at the top of their site and it’s running about three stories down with the last update being some blathering from thirsty Bryan Cranston. Typically TMZ would have snoops all over the hospital, Coroner’s offices and inside cast and crew hotels and would have posted a omething, anything. So even for them this is very odd. Poor Bob Odenkirk. 😢

He doesn't have a lot of name value for the tabs to be waiting with baited breath.

He likely hasn't regained consciousness (assuming he fell and hit his head when he collapsed), so, if the doctors don't have anything to tell the family, the family (or publicists) have nothing to tell us.

We need him to wake up and be his usual fabulous Bob self. I think that's what is going on here.

I would feel so much better if he was in a Los Angeles or San Francisco hospital, however. I've had my share of ABQ hospital experiences, and they were low quality, to put it politely.

If he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, he could be in surgery - same with an abdominal or aortic aneurysm. These are very long and touchy surgeries and sometimes require a second trip to the OR. Outcomes are not always known right away if he is in the ICU. It's understandable that family might not want to share any details at this point.

Whatever it is, I hope he pulls through. 58 is too young to go.

Susan Dey -- this is your chance to get ahead of the game.

[quote]He doesn't have a lot of name value for the tabs to be waiting with baited breath.

Oh, dear.

Well damn I hope he is okay. Better call saul is still on the air??

Him and George RR Martin should be places in bubble wrap and protected 24/7 by a team of security and doctors. Both of them are crucial to unreleased projects I've been looking forward to for a long time.

In all seriousness, this news is heart-breaking. I hope he pulls through.

I’ll add LBJ biographer Robert Caro to R186’s list.

[quote]Him and George RR Martin

Oh dear!

[quote]The people asking for prayers are simpletons.

FIFY

[quote]He doesn't have a lot of name value for the tabs to be waiting with baited breath.

Is that what one has after eating sushi?

i told you already, massive heart attack. heart is damaged, not supplying enough oxygen to other organs.

Bob Odenkirk was hospitalized for a "heart-related incident" ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, and it was touch-and-go for the last day but it looks like he's now out of the woods.

Bob is awake inside an Albuquerque hospital and we're told he's on the rebound, but when he was rushed to the hospital Tuesday after collapsing on set it did not look good. We're told he was not conscious during the early hours in the hospital, although he's now lucid.

Bob's rep tells TMZ, "Bob and his family would like to express gratitude for the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, as well as his cast, crew and producers who have stayed by his side."

The rep goes on ... "The Odenkirks would also like to thank everyone for the outpouring of well wishes and ask for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery."

TMZ broke the story ... Bob was rushed to a New Mexico hospital Tuesday night after collapsing on the set of his show "Better Call Saul."

Production sources told us Bob and the rest of the cast were shooting when the incident happened, with Odenkirk going down and being immediately surrounded by crew members as they called an ambulance.

By Wednesday morning, Bob's close friend from his "Breaking Bad" days, Bryan Cranston, was calling on fans to send positive thoughts and prayers Odenkirk's way, saying he was anxious to learn his pal was hospitalized.

R192, you were not even the first in this thread to guess massive heart attack. 😒

I guess he'll focus on podcasting from here on out.

They said this about Carrie Fisher r201

R202 no one said Carrie was on the mend, or gonna be ok.

I truly hope he is on full recovery.

Is that his son? He's cute.

'Saul good, man!!! Relieved to hear this!

When I read that he was "lucid". I was so relieved, I almost died FOR him. I had the worst fucking vibes about this, and I'm still afraid to jinx it by celebrating too much.

You are a very loved man, Bob. Don't you EVAH! do this to us again!

How is it this old white man is lucid and Naya never got the hospital treatment he received?

r212 Don't worry, I shouted 10 Hail MARY'S! and will do 10 more after my nerve pill kicks in.

I think R210's passion for Bob is endearing.

Losing so much weight is not good for your heart.

Does he smoke? Lots of actors do

Still sounds ominous. Very vague

It looks like our vigil is over.

Meanwhile, Nate Odenkirk is gay 😍

I'm relieved to hear he's recovering and awake.

For those who don't have Instagram

Son looks better with a beard. Not bad, I’d do.

Has Aaron Paul ever been on Better Call Saul?

[quote]Has Aaron Paul ever been on Better Call Saul?

No, and he better not be.

Considering most of the son's posts are comedy posts, I'm not sure how serious you should take that. He also has several more recent posts with himself with a girl, one of which is captioned "One year."

'We can confirm Bob is in stable condition after experiencing a heart related incident,' his spokesman said.

He's 58.

I'm glad he's still with us.

It can't be too serious. I'm watching tonight's Mets game and David Cross is sitting in the expensive seats at Citifield with Jason Sudeikis drinking a beer and eating hot dogs.

Are the Mets still in first?

This season is just never happening.

Yes, R233. Despite Rojas' shitty managing.

They're going to find a way to blow it, R235. They always manage to implode.

[quote]He also has several more recent posts with himself with a girl, one of which is captioned "One year."

Nate Odenkirk is dating Mayim Bialik? (photo at R226)

Listen, R236, you're talking to a lifelong Mets fan.

Don't I know it!

If he had a heart attack, why can't they just say that? What is with this "heart-related incident" business?

Announcement from AMC:

For season six the part of Saul Goodman will be played by Kevin Spacey

R241...or..."will be played by Karen Celini".

I would take the part, but my schedule...

r223 Who's the woman with the six-head?

I was wondering the same thing...what the fuck is heart-related issue?

Bob is so fucking dramatic.

[quote] They said this about Carrie Fisher [R201]

Did her daughter Tweet that she was “going to be okay” like Odenkirk’s son did today?

How can they be so sure he's gonna be OK? A heart issues is not to be taken lightly...

His heart was damaged 100%. He's not gonna be doing anything "stressful" for a long time.

Bernie Sanders had a heart attack and went on to continue his campaign. Sure, he lost the primary, but he’s still alive today, isn’t he. And he’s like 97.

His son just tweeted that Bob’s going to be ok.

Excuse me, Bernie didn't collapse. He had chest pains. -----------

The Vermont independent senator, 78, was hospitalized Tuesday after experiencing chest pains at a campaign stop in Nevada. He was treated for what his 2020 presidential campaign described at the time as a blockage in one artery.

But a statement from Sanders' doctors released through the campaign on Friday said Sanders "was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction," a medical term for a heart attack.

"The Senator was stable upon arrival and taken immediately to the cardiac catheterization laboratory, at which time two stents were placed in a blocked coronary artery in a timely fashion," the doctors' statement said. "All other arteries were normal."

They said he's made good progress in his recovery "and was discharged with instructions to follow up with his personal physician.”

In a statement, Sanders said, "After two and a half days in the hospital, I feel great, and after taking a short time off, I look forward to getting back to work."

Bernie stayed in hospital for 2 and a half days...let's see how many days Bob stays in the hospital.

Hopefully, Bob will get his fine ass up and out of that hospital very soon.

Doing all of that hardcore training for two bloody years for his action movie could not have helped. You go from average guy, build and habits at 56, only to freak out your system by 58. You will pay for it if not right away, you will the later you go in life. My stupid sermon said, I am beyond relieved he will be OK. I'm saying that with a touch of care as heart shit is tricky and things can go sideways, but sending speedy recovery vibes all of the same.

[quote]what the fuck is heart-related issue?

They're saying that because it wasn't a heart attack. It's pretty obvious they want to be clear that it wasn't an actual heart attack but it WAS heart related.

The TMZ article said a source called it "touch and go for a while" which makes me wonder if he had emergency surgery. That would explain the wait. Could have been an aortic aneurism or something.

[quote]>"No update probably means he's not dead."

This is one of the most immature responses I've seen on Datalounge, r90. You're a grown adult. Consider acting like it.

Anyway, despite the stupid people and the trolls and the ghouls on this and the "dead to me" thread, the truth was that no update DID mean he wasn't dead, it DID mean people were waiting to see how he was doing, and all the dumb responses were a colossal waste of time.

Why didn't he take the Roger Moore route? Moore would call for his double for anything more strenuous than getting out of a car.

To say that his workout regimen for a movie was the cause is ridiculous btw. What’s more likely is that he stopped his workout regimen after the movie and went back to his old habits.

Maybe he will tell us what happened after he gets out of the hospital.

I think he took drugs to get in shape and it has side effects.

Or maybe he is genetically predisposed to heart issues and/or didn't take medications or precautions or let himself go. This is far more likely than he worked out too much.

I would think before starting a training regimen, you get a health check up. Make sure your doctors OK the training.

It's the Hollywood starvation diet. He was looking too thin in recent photos.

He's not only a Hollywood actor but a comedian? Is it possible he's partaken in some cocaine once or twice?

Of course he does coke! Duh.

R261, he had to pass a physical for the movie for insurance, so I would bet he wasn’t showing signs of issues.

R262, that happens actually with heart failure and/or heart issues.

The last few pictures of him he looks kind of grayish. Including the one at the vaccine center. I've had two customers in my life and I really wish I'd said something to them (both men around his age) because they had fatal heart attack in the next year.

There are "heart related issues" that are not necessarily a "massive heart attack" - one of the most common is atrial fibrillation, an arrhythmia which causes the heart to beat rapidly and ineffectively. It most certainly can cause "collapse" and loss of consciousness. There are other arrhythmias too, including supraventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular contraction. Treatment is designed to slow and regulate the heartbeat, as well as to prevent blood clots, and may include medication and/or electrical conversion, possible cardiac ablation procedures and anticoagulants. Fortunately a fib is very treatable these days, which is why you see Eliquis and Xarelto commercials every five minutes.

Yes, like Bernie, he may have some degree of coronary artery disease which might have required stents, but he's a tad young for this unless he was/is a heavy smoker. He's LUCKY this was a witnessed event - if he had been alone in his hotel room at night it may have been a different story. Very thankful he received immediate treatment!!!

^i have SVT and, while it’s not pleasant, it doesn’t usually cause collapse and isn’t (usually) life threatening. And PVCs are completely benign.

A fib is more worrying, I believe.

R266, same with Luke Perry

Yes, 269, they look a little thin and oxygen starved.

He doesn't look gray in the video of the vaccination, but he does look really thin, and I've seen him look gray off and on for years. I think the first time I noticed it was press for Nebraska.

[Quote] I've had two customers in my life

How do you stay afloat?

They both left him in their wills, r272.

Okay, to put to rest all of the bubbling speculation of the Shaun Murphys around here, THR has the final answer: heart attack.

[quote]Bob Odenkirk is in stable condition at a New Mexico hospital Wednesday, a day after suffering a heart attack while in production on the sixth and final season of AMC’s Better Call Saul.

Has the agent of Sandy Duncan been contacted?

[quote]Bob Odenkirk is in stable condition at a New Mexico hospital Wednesday

I just KNEW he was enjoying his jello!

I’ve never watched a single moment of anything this guy has been in, and yet, I’ve been worried about his condition and constantly checking for updates since it happened, just because I want to have sex with him.

Oh well. I hope my positive energy helps him pull through.

I cannot understand why they said "heart-related event" when they knew everyone would think "heart attack." Really thought they were saying he went into cardiac arrest for something that wasn't a heart attack, but I guess it was.

Maybe it was an aortic aneurysm? That would definitely make things "Touch and go" while being fixed.

I thought the same thing r279 but multiple news sources are saying "heart attack," so now I just don't know.

R277, if you watch him you'll want to have sex with him and then marry him.

My guess is that TMZ, when they broke the story, got their info from someone when it wasn’t clear what happened. They knew perhaps he was in cardiac arrest but didn’t have enough info to clearly state it was a heart attack.

TMZ are fucking vultures. They make me ashamed to be interested in gossip

Love him and his hairy forearms ❤️!

Has this been linked to the microclotting of the vaccine.

R285 no, Florida deplorable

R Kelly me? Is that a Golden Shower joke?

Just like we don't have shark attacks anymore; we have shark incidents or events. We no longer have heart attacks; we have heart related incidents. It's less triggering.

Or like we don't have insurrectionist Capitol attacks; we have peaceful tourist lovefests. 🙄

It was a trespassing incident.

I wonder if he'll have a hard time getting insured for future projects.

[quote]I’ve never watched a single moment of anything this guy has been in, and yet, I’ve been worried about his condition and constantly checking for updates since it happened, just because I want to have sex with him.

A noble cause.

He was a writer for SNL in 90’s

He wrote “I live in a van down by the river”.

He inspired Teri Hatcher?

[quote]Just like we don't have shark attacks anymore; we have shark incidents or events. We no longer have heart attacks; we have heart related incidents. It's less triggering.

Similarly, in weather reports, we don't have snow anymore. We now have "snow events." Rain showers no longer occur in the evening. They occur "during the evening hours."

He was a writer for SNL? definitely lots of smoking and drug use

Didn't he marry a fan who stalked him? I read that on DL. Is that true?

[quote] He wrote “I live in a van down by the river”.

And despite that I am still a fan of his.

[quote] My guess is that TMZ, when they broke the story, got their info from someone when it wasn’t clear what happened. They knew perhaps he was in cardiac arrest but didn’t have enough info to clearly state it was a heart attack.

When did anyone know “he was in cardiac arrest” or that it was definitely a heart attack? Did I miss something?

I read that same thread r299.

Okay, so they *thought* that *maybe* he had suffered cardiac arrest. They didn’t *know* anything, R304.

R305 reread the original post. The poster (moi) surmised that “perhaps” there was a cardiac arrest event which, we know, could be caused by almost anything. So maybe it was reported as cardiac related. All speculation as the post clearly stated.

According to Bob himself, he had a "small heart attack."

we love you bob please get up

Is a "small heart attack" that causes one to collapse similar to a "mild case of leprosy" that causes one's penis to fall off?

Yeah, r309. I don’t think it was “mild.”

Not every heart attack is massive.

It seems he was given an angioplasty. I would suspect that if it was a massive heart attack they would have done a bypass?

He's tweeting out thanks to family and friends and all concerned. He had a small heart attack - they healed him without surgery. He is gonna be ok.

I love him even more now.

R313 not necessarily. DL doctors, can you chime in? I know someone who had a major heart attack (life threatening) and the doctors used stents. I think it may have to do with the fact that if they can correct with stents or angioplasty they do that because they’re less invasive. But I’m just guessing.

[quote] Not every heart attack is massive.

One of my closest friends had a mild heart attack a few years ago. His doctor described it as the most minor thing he'd ever seen that could be described as a heart attack.

He's on medication for it but did not have stents, angio, bypass or anything like it.

it depends how blocked it is!

Did he get buff for some movie role recently?

I know people who got stents or angioplasty...most of them needed heart bypass years later.

I was really worried for this guy and I have only seen him in about four episodes of Breaking Bad years ago. Idk why I was so invested in his well being, but I glad he is going to be okay!

I presume because some of you are in his age range.

He will be fine. I'm sure.

Hopefully he will be attending Susan Sarandon's funeral soon.

R320 He looks the same to me. Bob's not a gym rat, but he's never been a fat ass either. He's 58 years old. I think he does well for his age.

R323, you should try watching "Better Call Saul." Odenkirk is excellent in it.

He needs to retire, stat.

If you don't know what you're talking about, it's best not to say anything, r326.

So why the heart attack? If he's Jack Lalanne now?

He’s not r330. That move was four years ago.

❤️can attack for all shapes and sizes

But R331 it totally says "it's a sweat habit he won't quit"?!

And the article and "move" are both from this year, not four years ago.

Oops my bad, r334. I thought this movie was from 2019.

Bob has child-bearing hips. Meh.

He looks like he's got a Big One.

No, they said it was a small one.

R327 That is so right!

R323 I too hated Breaking Bad - never understood the hype. I couldn't stomach more than about 3 full episodes and that was mostly because it was on at times while I was at someone else's house who was into it.

But, Better Call Saul is excellent! He's great and he's surrounded by some very eclectic characters played by equally talented actors.

I never watched breaking bad either.

I'm sure Breaking Bad was excellent, but like others, I just couldn't watch it. It was relentlessly depressing.

No redeeming characters except the teen son with cerebral palsy .

Bob Odenkirk Returns to "Better Call Saul" Set After Heart Attack:

Don't worry.

The he'll be nominated for and win Emmy Awards long after he's dead.

He stars in the most boring and shitty shows, but the Academy still awards this guy Emmy's year, after year, after year.

It's so predictable.

Glad he is finally able to go back to set.

Bob will win an Emmy for his "being rushed to the hospital" scene.

[quote]He wrote “I live in a van down by the river”.

I can actually imagine Bob screaming that line himself, as he pitches the bit to Farley.

He seems to be doing better now.

Since the thread's been bumped, if anyone missed it, there a nice profile on him in the NYT this week, which covered what happened when he had the heart attack last year.
