Highlander Star Christopher Lambert Suffers Medical Scare at Pennsylvania Convention Christopher Lambert, the 69-year-old actor best known for his role as the immortal Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod in the Highlander franchise, reportedly experienced a medical emergency while attending the Steel City Con convention in Pennsylvania. According to TMZ, Lambert collapsed during a signing session for fans and was transported to a medical facility via ambulance. The incident caused concern among attendees, with many expressing hope for his recovery. Fans at the convention shared their reactions on social media, with one attendee writing, “Oh no, saying a prayer his way,” referencing the alarming situation. Another visitor noted, “We met him earlier. I knew he wasn’t feeling well and had a cold. Prayers he is ok,” highlighting the actor’s apparent pre-existing health issues. A third fan praised the swift response from first responders, security, and event staff, stating, “Sending prayers for speedy recovery, healing. First responders, staff, security, constables did an excellent job at handling the medical emergency.” Lambert’s spokesperson later confirmed to TMZ that the actor was “perfectly OK” and that the incident was likely caused by a drop in blood sugar levels, attributed to a lack of sleep and food. While he was released from medical care and taken to his hotel for rest, his management team indicated it was unclear whether he would be able to return to the convention on Sunday, August 9. However, they expressed confidence that he would have sufficient time to recover for his scheduled appearance at the Fan Expo Chicago event, which runs from August 14 to August 16 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.#pennsylvania #christopher_lambert #steel_city_con #fan_expo_chicago #donald_e_stephens_convention_center
