Apollo 13 actor Bill Paxton revealed to a director he was nervous about the heart surgery that caused his untimely death at age 61.
Paxton, who worked on the Titanic and Aliens, unexpectedly died on Saturday after suffering a stroke because of issues stemming from his heart operation.
Although Paxton was worried about his surgery, he was ‘optimistic’ and looked forward to upcoming projects before his sudden death, said Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman.
The actor was expected to reprieve his role of Master Sergeant Farell in a future sequel of the film and said to Liman in an email: ‘Thanks for the good wishes. It will help me face this ordeal.
‘Don’t worry “Sgt Farell” will be ready to report for duty.’
