A HIGHLANDER legend was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after collapsing at an event in America.
The actor and producer, 69, was also forced to scrap photo opportunities with fans as his health issue took centre stage.
Actor Christopher Lambert, who played Highlander’s main character Connor MacLeod in the 1986 movie, reportedly fell ill at the Steel City Con in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
According to TMZ, he had been signing autographs with fans before he collapsed and was whisked away.
The event organisers then took to their Facebook page to confirm: “Christopher Lambert had to leave the event due to a personal issue.
“Return time TBD. Photo op cancelled”.
The Sun has gone to the Mortal Kombat actor’s rep for comment.
They did tell TMZ the screen star is “perfectly OK” – and his fall was due to low blood sugar after a lack of food.
In news that will delight fans – and suggest he is on the mend – event organisers also confirmed he will appear at the convention today [Sunday] as planned.
In a message posted to Facebook they wrote: “Christopher Lambert will be attending Sunday. He will be there at 11:30 AM. Lisa & Louise Burns will do 12 PM Panel. Also, Karen Gillan will be doing Solos and Duos on Sunday (with Arthur) as well”.
One fan was quick to comment: “Glad he’s okay. That was scary!”
A second put: “Very happy to hear this”.
A Facebook user then added: “Hope he’s going to be all right. Highlander is my favourite movie of all time, and I wish he didn’t have to go through that scare today”.
Previously, Christopher – who has also produced and penned scripts as well as acting them out – opened up on filming Highlander in Scotland.
The French actor, who starred alongside Sean Connery and Clancy Brown in the film, reminisced on shooting scenes as the immortal warrior in Scotland.
He previously said: “It was my first time in Scotland.
“Insurance people completely forbid drinking on set, but try that up there and you’ll get shot.
“I’m not saying Scottish people drink all the time, but if they drink, they drink.
“It’s not a sip of wine, it’s a quarter of a bottle of scotch.
“There were 1,000 extras for the battle scenes and they went at it for real.
“After each shot, the cries went up: ‘Doctor!’ ‘Nurse!’”
Highlander follows Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, an immortal Scotsman born in the 16th century in Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel.
The film has garnered an enormous cult following over the years which spawned a TV series.

The Inbetweeners star then said: “I feel a little bit bad. Because I went away, I was working.
“And you were calling me up, sort of. I’d get to my hotel and I’d check, see how you’re getting on. You’d be going, ‘I’m really ill, I’m really sick.’
“And I was going, ‘Alright, see how you feel in the morning.’
“I came home and the only way I can describe you, you look like when little weak Lord Voldemort was being carried and he’s got his little thin little legs like hanging out and he’s got like a little shawl over him!”
James, who shot to fame in the noughties as Jay in The Inbetweeners, then revealed how once he saw how sick his wife was he called 999,
“Got an ambulance, didn’t we? Because you couldn’t move, you couldn’t get in the car and stuff. You were so weak,” the star revealed.
Finishing off the story, Clair then said: “So anyway, I got taken in and just got pumped full of fluids. There you go.”
Not one to miss a comic moment, James then joked: “That’s the title of the show. That’s the title of this episode. Claire Pumped Full of Fluid!”

“I knew of the show and what it was but I didn’t tune in. I didn’t watch it, which might have been a good thing,” the Scottish podcaster told The Sun in 2023.
“I did watch a couple of episodes after we met but to this day I don’t think I’ve seen every single episode. James and Jay are nothing alike thank God.”
