Highlander star Christopher Lambert rushed to hospital after collapsing at event

Christopher Lambert, the renowned Highlander star, was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at an autograph session during the Steel City Comic-Con in Pittsburgh. The 69-year-old French-American actor was treated by medics and transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Witnesses reported that Lambert appeared shaky before being placed in an ambulance and taken for further examination.

Convention organizers later confirmed that he left the event due to a "personal issue," and his scheduled photo op was subsequently canceled.

Lambert's representatives have since stated that he is "perfectly OK" and recuperating in his hotel room. According to his team, the collapse was attributed to a drop in blood sugar, which was likely caused by a lack of sleep and insufficient food intake the previous day. The actor has faced health challenges in the past, including a serious fall last year that forced him to withdraw from a SciFiWorld festival appearance in Sweden due to filming commitments.

Throughout his career, Lambert has been known for his roles in Highlander, Highlander II: The Quickening, Mortal Kombat, and Fortress. He regularly meets fans worldwide, making it a challenge for those to switch browsers to access the latest news about the actor.
