Bob Odenkirk revealed it took an automated defibrillator three shocks to get his heart to begin pumping again after he had a heart attack.

Odenkirk, 59, opened up about the moment he had his heart attack during a recent interview with The New York Times.The medical emergency occurred while the actor was filming on the set of "Better Call Saul" in July. "We were shooting a scene, we’d been shooting all day, and luckily I didn’t go back to my trailer," Odenkirk told the outlet. "I went to play the Cubs game and ride my workout bike, and I just went down," he added. "[Co-star] Rhea [Seehorn] said I started turning bluish-gray right away." Bob Odenkirk detailed the moment he had a heart attack on the set of "Better Call Saul." By the time the show’s health safety supervisor, Rosa Estrada, and an assistant director, Angie Meyer, arrived, it took three shocks from the automatic defibrillator to get Odenkirk's pulse back. "The third time it got me that rhythm back," Odenkirk told The Times.

The "Better Call Saul" actor revealed he doesn't have any memory of the entire experience and can only retell the story based on other people's accounts of the moment, including Seehorn's. "That’s its own weirdness," Seehorn told the outlet. "You didn’t have a near-death experience — you’re told you had one." Odenkirk revealed he doesn't actually have any memory of the moment but has pieced together what happened through other people's accounts.
