Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey was rushed to the hospital while he was in Uzbekistan for the 15th Tashkent International Film Festival.

The 64-year-old ‘House of Cards’ star, who was found not guilty of nine sex offenses in July, was taken to hospital after it was feared he had suffered a heart attack.

In a speech at the Festival, Spacey said he was visiting the Afrasiyab Museum in the ancient Silk Road city of Samarkand when he felt “his whole left arm go numb for about eight seconds.”

According to footage published by the Sun, Kevin Spacey said: “I experienced something here today that was unexpected.”
“I was looking at these extraordinary murals on the walls and suddenly I felt my whole left arm go numb for about eight seconds.”

The American actor said he went to a medical center and underwent tests, the results of which were good. “Everything was completely normal and I’m thankful it wasn’t anything more serious,” he said. “But this made me think how fragile life is for all of us,” he added.

The Sun reports that there were fears that Spacey may have suffered a heart attack.

However, doctors later informed him that he is fine.
