Bob Odenkirk was struck down with a heart attack in July.
The 59-year-old collapsed on set of the Netflix show Better Call Saul - the Breaking Bad spin-off - during filming in New Mexico and was taken to hospital away in an ambulance for treatment.
He told fans he was on the mend just two days after his worrying health woes since got back to work.
And in a new chat with The Guardian, the actor has told how his "small heart attack" left him with memory loss of the day of his heart issues as well as the first couple of weeks of his recovery.
“I missed out on that existential lightning bolt. On the other hand, there’s a lingering …, ” he recalled while laughing.
“Is there such a thing as a lingering lightning bolt? We’ll invent that term.”
When quizzed on if suffering from the heart attack has changed the way he looks at his life, he shared: “I think I’m still thinking about it."
Last summer, when Odenkirk was rushed to hospital his representatives told USA TODAY in a statement at the time that he suffered from a heart attack.
"(Odenkirk) and his family would like to express gratitude for the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, as well as his cast, crew and producers who have stayed by his side," the statement said.
"The Odenkirks would also like to thank everyone for the outpouring of well wishes and ask for their privacy at this time as Bob works on his recovery."
Following the scary event, Bob gave his fans an update on social media.
