The Nebraska star’s rep confirmed the news to Us Weekly at the time via a statement, explaining that the actor 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 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,” the statement concluded.

The Breaking Bad alum was first sent to the hospital after collapsing on the set of the AMC series, which is currently filming its sixth and final season. Crew members then called an ambulance after the incident, Variety first reported.

Several of the actor’s costars and friends shared their heartfelt well wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery, including Brian Cranston, Aaron Paul and Cross.
