Nobody Movie Training Helped Save Bob Odenkirk During His Heart Attack

Bob Odenkirk has explained how training for his film Nobody helped save him during his heart attack last year. The action triller, directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by John Wick's Derek Kolstad, follows an easy-going family man who regresses back to his dangerous former life when his home is robbed, resulting in a grisly battle with a Russian crime lord. In addition to Odenkirk, who also serves as a producer, the film stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, Christoper Lloyd, and Aleksei Serebryakov. Upon its March 2021 release, Nobody topped the box office while the COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect movie-going, and was met with positive reactions from fans and critics alike.

Odenkirk is well-known for his comedic work, but is perhaps more famous for his performance as Saul Goodman, the deceitful lawyer from AMC's television series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Over the summer, during production of the latter, Odenkirk suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. After the news broke, his family and co-stars were quick to share their support, and the actor himself turned to social media to thank everyone for their concern days later. Just recently, Odenkirk opened up about his heart attack, saying that it happened after a long day of shooting, but that he otherwise has no memory of the event.
