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.
