Mission Impossible star Ving Rhames has been rushed hospital after collapsing at a restaurant on Wednesday. The actor fell ill at the Los Angeles restaurant Granville and needed medical attention.
The 66-year-old star, who has also featured on Pulp Fiction, was enjoying time with his family when the health worry struck. It’s said he was “in and out of consciousness” during the episode after he collapsed.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed a call was made at 1.40pm on Wednesday regarding the incident. Emergency services swiftly responded and took the actor to hospital.
The LAPD confirmed the callout to the Daily Mail. And a representative of the star explained to TMZ the Rhames ‘overheated’ and remained in hospital for observation. Thankfully the actor was released later in the day.

This representative told TMZ he felt “fine” after his release and was said to be “making jokes”.
As well as performing alongside Tom Cruise in the iconic Mission Impossible franchise, Rhames recently starred in the Apple TV+ miniseries Dope Thief . He also featured in boxing drama Uppercut.
He won a Golden Globe in 1998 for his performance in Don King: Only in America. At the time, he gave his accolade to late actor Jack Lemmon.
His victory came in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television category. Receiving the award, he said: “Stanislavsky said, “Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art.”
“And I love the art in all of you here – and is Mr. Jack Lemmon here? Would you please come up here sir? I feel that being an artist is about giving and I’d like to give this to you, Mr Lemmon.”
In 2018, he claimed police held him at gunpoint in his own home. At the time he said neighbours called cops to report that a “large black man” was breaking into the house.
Speaking on the Clay Clane show on Sirus XM about his own experiences with racism, the actor said: “I open the door and there is a red dot pointed at my face from a 9mm [handgun].
“They say, ‘Put up your hands’.” But he said that after recognising him, the police officers said sorry. “He said it was a mistake and apologised,” Rhames said.
“My problem is, and I said this to them, what if it was my son and he had a video game remote or something and you thought it was a gun?”
He claimed that they later went to the neighbour’s house, but they denied they had called the the emergency services “Myself, the sergeant and one other officer, we went over to that house, which was across the street from my place, and the person denied it,” he went on.
“Here I am in my own home, alone in some basketball shorts. Just because someone called and said a large black man is breaking in, when I opened up the wooden door a 9mm is pointed at me.”
