Funnyman Robin Williams, 57, is currently recovering from heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, his publicist announced yesterday.

“His heart is strong and he will have normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he’ll be able to do,” Dr. A. Marc Gillinov, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the clinic, is quoted as saying by Reuters. “A couple of hours after surgery, he was entertaining the medical team and making us all laugh.”

The surgery, which took place on March 13, was done to replace the comedian’s aortic valve, repair his mitral valve and correct an irregular heartbeat, the news agency reports. He is expected to make a full recovery.
