He revealed he was playing tennis with his 'good buddy' named Mike when he, 'started not feeling really well, and, long story short, after a few minutes of not getting better, my buddy Mike scooped me up in his car.'

The actor said that Mike first took him to urgent care and, 'they immediately saw what was happening, and threw me in an ambulance, and I jammed over to the big ER.'

He said he went straight to the catheterization laboratory, 'and had two lines put in my femoral artery and vein, they went up in through the vessels into my heart.'

Gower added how serious the heart attack was, stating, 'My right coronary artery ended up being 100 per cent blocked with a giant blood clot. Apparently, according to the people that worked on me and the excellent cath lab team, we got here with about 10 minutes to spare.'

He concluded by stating he was still in the ICU and they have, 'just removed my two main lines,' which means his heart is, 'working adequately enough to take the pacemaker out and the lines.'
