Albuquerque, N.M. — Saul’s back.
Bob Odenkirk has returned to the set of the crime drama “Better Call Saul” after suffering a heart attack while filming in New Mexico this July.
“Back to work on Better Call Saul! So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people,” the 58-year-old actor posted to Twitter Wednesday, as he sat getting his makeup done. “BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting!”
Odenkirk collapsed on set after experiencing what he said was a “small heart attack” while filming the show’s sixth and final season in Albuquerque.
Days later, he tweeted his appreciation for his family, colleagues and fans who offered him an outpouring of support and well wishes.
“Hi. It’s Bob,” Odenkirk tweeted at the time . “Thank you. To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week. And for the outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care for me. It’s overwhelming. But I feel the love and it means so much.”
Odenkirk had also thanked his doctors and the network that airs his “Breaking Bad” spinoff.
“AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level,” he added. “I’m going to take a beat to recover but I’ll be back soon.”
Odenkirk’s performance as the down-on-his-luck lawyer named Jimmy McGill has earned him four Emmy nominations.
