Ray Romano is probably taking a hard pass on fried eggs in bacon grease these days.
The Everybody Loves Raymond star told Marc Maron on this WTF Podcast that he had a stent installed after doctors found a 90 percent blockage in his main artery.
“I got kind of lucky that we found it,” said Romano, who admitted that his doctor told him years ago to take a statin for his cholesterol. But Romano ignored him.
“I had high cholesterol 20 years ago and my guy always told me, ‘why don’t we start going on the statin,’ and every time I said let me do it myself,” Romano said. “I would go home and eat a little healthier, get it down a couple ticks. It was 280 and now its 220. He’d go, ‘you gotta get it down even more.’ I’d go home and think I was hot shit.”
In retrospect, Romano told Maron, he wish he would have gone on the meds.
“It’s hard for me to sustain that diet stuff,” recalled Romano, who added that while his cholesterol is down these days, he’s now considered pre-diabetic because his sugar levels are up.
The comedian, who directed and co-wrote Somewhere in Queens, also lamented over how it feels like to be 65. His twins are now 30 and one of them is getting married.
“Time feels like it’s going so fast as opposed to when we were younger,” said Romano. “But man, saying 50 was weird, but saying [he’s] 60 it sounds foreign, it sounds fake in my head.”

Considering Ray Romano has worn so many hats in his career – comedian, actor, writer, producer – it’s hard to believe that the multi-hyphenate had never directed before. When I mention I assumed he had at least directed one of the 210 episodes of his acclaimed series “Everybody Loves Raymond,” Romano jokes: “Me too. I thought I must have directed one of them, right? But no, I had never done it.” So it comes as a surprise not only to audiences but to Romano himself that he’s making his directorial debut with the feature film “Somewhere in Queens,” a poignant comedy about a working-class Italian family that hits theaters this weekend. The film is so resonant in so many ways and handled in such an assured way, it’s shocking to realize this is a director’s first movie – let alone one who had to be talked into doing it.

"I got to New York for nine weeks of prep, second year of COVID," he explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight about the early stages of the film, in which he also stars.
Somewhere in Queens” — which also marks Romano’s big-screen directorial debut.“I’d never written a screenplay and neither had Mark,” Romano, 65, told The Post. “I knew what I like to write about and it’s this type of movie — a small but effecting dramedy — and I knew that I wanted to write about this Italian-American working-class world which I lived in and grew up in and, even more, married into,” said the former “Everybody Loves Raymond” star.
Ray Romano is stepping behind the camera for the first time with the semi-autobiographical film, . The veteran actor said he was far more nervous directing this movie than he was when he booked the iconic sitcom he starred in for a decade.«I've never written a [movie] script.
