Just over a month after suffering a heart attack, Bob Odenkirk confirmed on Wednesday that he’s returned to work on the set of his hit AMC series Better Call Saul.

The 58-year-old actor took to Twitter to share a photo from the makeup chair, as he resumes production on the sixth and final season of his Breaking Bad spin-off. 

“Back to work on Better Call Saul!” he wrote. “So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people. BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting!”

Back in July, Odenkirk suffered a heart attack that caused him to collapse on set while shooting Better Call Saul in New Mexico.

“I had a small heart attack,” he wrote on Twitter at the time. “But I’m going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery. Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I’m going to take a beat to recover but I’ll be back soon.”

“Thank you. To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week,” Odenkirk continued.

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.”
