‘Highlander’ Star Christopher Lambert Collapses While Signing Autographs
Paramedics took the 69-year-old actor to a Pittsburgh hospital after the collapse, and organizers said his condition improved the next day.
- On Saturday, Actor Christopher Lambert collapsed while meeting fans at Steel City Con in Pittsburgh, prompting staff to call emergency responders. Paramedics transported the 69-year-old actor to a local hospital for evaluation.
- According to his team, Lambert had limited sleep and food intake, causing his blood sugar to drop. The Highlander star, known for playing Connor MacLeod, was feeling overheated and dehydrated at the convention.
- Lambert's representatives have since said he is "perfectly OK" and recuperating in his hotel room. Convention officials confirmed by Sunday that his condition had improved, though photo opportunities were cancelled.
- This health scare follows a serious fall Lambert suffered last year in Sweden, which forced him to withdraw from the SciFiWorld festival. That previous accident resulted in a back injury.
- Despite the incident, Lambert still plans to appear at Fan Expo Chicago and Mad Monster Expo in North Carolina later this month. His upcoming schedule remains intact following the brief medical emergency.
