Ving Rhames, ‘Mission: Impossible Star,’ Collapses During Meal

Ving Rhames, known for his long-running role in Mission: Impossible, had a sudden health scare while out at a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The incident happened on Wednesday while the actor was having a meal with his family. According to TMZ, a person who was there said Rhames suddenly collapsed at the table. The same source claimed he seemed to lose awareness at times before help arrived.

Emergency crews were called to the scene. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told TMZ that they received a medical call in the early afternoon for a man in his 60s. He was later taken to a hospital for treatment.

There was concern at first, but updates later in the day were more positive. Rhames’ representative told TMZ that the situation may have been caused by heat and that he was being checked as a precaution. “it’s believed he got ‘overheated’ but will be fine.”

A few hours later, another update confirmed he was already on his way home. “he’s been released from the hospital and is heading home. We’re told he feels fine and was making jokes leaving the hospital.”

Rhames has been a steady presence in Hollywood for decades. Many fans know him as Luther Stickell in the Mission: Impossible movies. He also had major roles in Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino and the film Jacob’s Ladder. In the past, he also spoke publicly about filmmaker John Singleton and his impact on the industry.
