“He’s going to be okay,” he said simply.

Odenkirk collapsed on the set of “Better Call Saul” in Culver City, Calif., on Tuesday. 

The specifics of the star’s “heart related incident” have not been made public – nor has his treatment – but his “Breaking Bad” co-star Bryan Cranston took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to share that Odenkirk was receiving medical care.

“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,” the actor captioned a photo of himself and Odenkirk. “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.”

Cranston continued: “Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way, thank you.”

Odenkirk and his co-stars were filming their show’s sixth and final season when he collapsed. The season is expected to premiere in early 2022.
