Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn Attend Independent Spirit Awards, Talk About Heart Attack On Set
Bob Odenkirk and his "Better Call Saul" co-star Rhea Seehorn attended the Independent Spirit Awards held at Santa Monica Pier on Sunday. During their red-carpet appearance, the co-stars opened up about Odenkirk's near-death experience as he survived a heart attack on set.
Odenkirk, who played Saul Goodman on the series, noted that he doesn't even remember getting a heart attack but the reaction he received later, had a great impact on him.
"She got scared, I wasn't scared. I can't remember a thing of it," Odenkirk told ET on the red carpet about Seehorn's reaction to his health. "It was very strange," Seehorn added. "It was a fantastic thing to have him make it out of that."
"You can't help but think about it a fair amount," Odenkirk said. "And even though I don't remember the experience of it, all the reaction that I got from the public and my friends, it all affected me. And it still will and it continues to."
Odenkirk was rushed to the hospital in July 2021 after he collapsed on the sets of "Better Call Saul" season 6, which will also mark the series finale.
During the event, Odenkirk wore a black shirt with a blue jacket while Seehorn donned a beautiful yellow outfit.
The on-screen couple also went on stage to present the Best New Scripted Series Award.
During the interview, the 59-year-old actor also spoke about the upcoming season. "Best season ever, final season, it's bananas, it's crazy," he said. "They did a great job and it'll shake you up."
The actor was also asked if this season will mark the end of his character's journey or if fans can expect another spin-off, considering "Better Call Saul" is a spin-off of the Emmy-award winning series, "Breaking Bad."
"I think there's a life ahead... we've talked about Saul Babies, the animated show," Odenkirk said jokingly. "So let's hope that Disney or somebody like that jumps on board."
"Better Call Saul" season 6 is slated to premiere on April 18. It will consist of 13 episodes and it will also star Jonathan Banks, Michael Mando, Tony Dalton, Giancarlo Esposito and Patrick Fabian.
