During an episode of his Smarltess podcast with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, they had Hugh Grant on as a guest, who talked about jetlag from flying.
“I can’t do it anymore. I think it’s an age thing,” he said. “I woke up hours ago very, very hungry and felt like my heart is made of Play-Doh.”
Will then shared a story of Sean driving himself to the ER just a few days prior.
“Sean woke up two or three nights ago with a heart issue, drove himself to Cedars-Sinai, didn’t wake up his husband [Scott Icenogle],” Will said. “They brought the paddles out. They put him under. They paddled him. He drove home. An hour later he woke up to use the bathroom, drove himself back to Cedars and got paddled again.”
Sean, himself, added, “And then we had dinner that night.”
The actor has previously opened up about having Atrial Fibrillation, aka AFib.
“I have AFib where you heart beats like that, you feel like you’re gonna die,” Sean said on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2021. “So when I go to the ER, I’m like Norm from Cheers. They’re like Sean! Because I’m in there all the time.”
“I know exactly what needs to be happening,” he added. “They’re like, ‘Can I check you?’ And I’m like, ‘Look, this is how this is gonna go. You’re gonna give me Propofol. I’m gonna go out. I’m gonna go, ‘Clear.’ And I’m gonna go home.’ Because it zaps you back into regular rhythm.”
According to Mayo Clinic, the condition is “an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm. An irregular heart rhythm is called an arrhythmia. AFib can lead to blood clots in the heart. The condition also increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.”
