As footage of Odenkirk in the hospital with his loved ones plays, he recalls his health incident.<\/p>\n The Breaking Bad<\/a> actor had a heart attack in July 2021 while filming Better Call Saul in Albuquerque, N.M. \u201cI fell over and I stopped breathing. I turned gray and I s— myself,\u201d Odenkirk, 63, recalls.<\/p>\n \u201cSo death, I found in that moment, is real and closer than I thought,\u201d Odenkirk adds.<\/p>\n Cross shares his reaction to learning of his friend\u2019s heart attack. \u201cI remember crying and I was walking around like a ghost. I didn’t sleep for a couple of days,\u201d he says, before cracking a joke. \u201cI suppose the best thing to come out of this is I got it out of my system, so when he really does die, it’ll be more of a, \u2018Well, yeah, been there, done that, kind of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Odenkirk says his wife Naomi, whom he married in 1997<\/a>, inadvertently encouraged him to take on the hike with Cross.<\/p>\n \u201cA guiding philosophy that you shared with me a long time ago was to make more out of life, have more experiences. So you\u2019ve led me to this. And now, whatever happens is your fault,\u201d he jokes to Naomi on camera.<\/p>\n Cross and Odenkirk worked on the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show with Bob and David from 1995 to 1998.
