Kevin Spacey revealed he was rushed to the hospital over a possible heart attack earlier this week.
The 64-year-old “House of Cards” star announced that he went to a medical center in Uzbekistan after his left arm went numb for several seconds, The Sun reported.
Spacey was in the country to attend the 15th Tashkent International Film Festival and reportedly began to feel unwell while touring the Afrasiyab Museum in the ancient Silk Road city of Samarkand.

“I experienced something here today that was unexpected,” Spacey said in the speech, captured on video shared by The Sun, which also cited a source close to Spacey who told the outlet about going to a medical facility “over health concerns.”
“I was looking at these extraordinary murals on the walls and I suddenly felt my entire left arm go numb for about eight seconds,” he continued. “I shook it off, but I immediately told the people I was with, and we went immediately to the … medical center.”
Spacey went on to say he had “a variety of tests,” and an MRI.
“Everything turned out to be completely normal, and I’m grateful it’s not anything more serious,” he added.
Representatives for Spacey did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment Wednesday.
