Everybody loves Ray Romano‘s wide open arteries … especially him, after undergoing a potentially lifesaving procedure, which is why he’s out and about in L.A. getting some exercise.
The actor/comedian got in his steps during a vigorous walk in casual athletic wear, along with his headphones and Apple Watch to monitor his progress and, likely, his heart rate too.
The reason Ray taking a pretty basic walk is significant is … he just revealed last week he had to have a stent implanted to clear serious blockage in a major artery.
He made the confession on Marc Maron‘s podcast — this as he was in the middle of a press run for his new movie, ‘Somewhere in Queens’ — and it sounded pretty scary.
WTF with Marc Maron
RR explained he’d been fighting for years to keep his cholesterol levels down … and that, for a long time, he’d insisted on doing it on his own terms — only to come up short time and again, despite doctors repeatedly telling him he was teetering in dangerous territory.
Now, after getting the procedure done — which he says cleared a 90% blockage — Ray says he wishes he would’ve taken his doctor’s advice from 2 decades ago.
It’s unclear exactly when he had the procedure … but in any case, he seems to be doing a lot better now.
