‘Will And Grace’ Star Sean Hayes Hospitalized Twice In One Night

Will Arnett revealed that his long-time friend, “Will & Grace” star Sean Hayes, was hospitalized twice in the same night due to a recurring heart issue.

The co-Host of the “SmartLess” podcast broke the news during an interview with Hugh Grant on Nov. 18. Grant was discussing how his health had changed as he aged and explained that he faces difficulties when flying, saying his heart felt like it “was made of Play-Doh.” Arnett then said Hayes, who suffers from a heart condition called Atrial fibrillation (AFib), had recently overcome a serious health scare that landed him in the hospital two times in a row on the same day.

Grant complained about the jet lag he suffered from and Arnett interrupted him to highlight how easy he had it by comparison.

“Hugh, you should know this, that Sean, two, three nights ago, woke up in the middle of the night with a heart issue, drove himself to Cedars-Sinai — didn’t wake up his husband — drove himself to Cedars-Sinai. They bought the paddles out, they put him under,” Arnett said.

He continued describing the frightening situation that Hayes overcame on his own.

“They paddled him, he drove home,” Arnett continued.

“An hour later, he woke up to use the bathroom again and drove himself back to Cedars and got paddled again,” Arnett revealed on the podcast.

Hayes recalled the incident and added, “And then we had dinner that night.”

Arnett teased Grant by saying, “So you’re jet-lagged by comparison — and I’m not saying this to to make you feel bad.”(RELATED: ‘Not Ready To Die’: Amy Grant Provides Health Update After Suffering Two Major Health Scares)

Grant admitted, “But no, you are — and I feel humiliated.”

The Mayo Clinic describes AFib as an “irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm” that “can lead to blood clots in the heart.” The upper chambers of the heart beat discordantly when compared to the lower chambers. This may result in quick heartbeats, short breaths and lightheadedness.
