Bob Odenkirk turned 59 on Friday, a milestone that came after a serious health scare.

The “Better Call Saul” star was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack on July 27 while shooting a scene for the show in New Mexico.

Michael McKean, who played older brother Chuck McGill to Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill, wished his co-star and friend a happy birthday from himself and wife Annette O’Toole.

“Happy birthday to our @mrbobodenkirk,” McKean tweeted. “Try not to scare us all like you did last summer and keep havin them birthday. xo from Nette & me”

Odenkirk responded with good humor.

“Michael and Annette!” he tweeted. “Thank you for this, I pledge to have fewer heart attacks in the future!”

Odenkirk returned to the set of “Better Call Saul” less than six weeks after the heart attack. The show is shooting its sixth and final season.
