James Caan was rushed to a hospital in Toronto on Tuesday.

The 75-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Sonny Corleone in 1972's The Godfather - had complained of chest pain, according to TMZ.

But the Hollywood vet was not having a heart attack; rather he was suffering from a chest infection.

A scare: James Caan was rushed to a hospital in Toronto on Tuesday. The 75-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Sonny Corleone in 1972's The Godfather - had complained of chest pain, according to TMZ; here he is seen in January

The Misery star has since been released from the hospital, the site revealed.

The Seventies icon has been in Toronto to film Operation Insanity.

One of his co-stars is Paul Sorvino, 76, who starred in the mob film Goodfellas, which came out in 1990.

He has been married four times: The star with one of his most recent wives, Linda, in 2014

A rep for James told TMZ 'he will be back to work in just a few days and is doing fine.'

Caan has been filming several movies back to back.

This year alone he has three films coming out - The Throwaways, Wuther High School, Mikow - and he has five others in production: The Waiting, Silican Vampire, From Here To Infirmity, Stark Raving Man and Sweetwater.

Another hit for the star: James with Bette Midler in the 1991 drama For The Boys

James - who has starred in 1975's Rollerball, 1990's Dick Tracy, 1992's Honeymoon In Vegas, 2003's Elf and 2014's The Outsider, among dozens of others - has been married four times.

In 1961, he married Dee Jay Mathis and had daughter Tara; they divorced in 1966.

Caan's second marriage to Sheila Marie Ryan (a former girlfriend of Elvis Presley) in 1976 was short-lived; they divorced the following year.

Their son, Scott Caan, who also is an actor, was born in 1976.

Caan was married to Ingrid Hajek from September 1990 to March 1994; they had a son, Alexander, born 1991.

He married Linda Stokes in 1995, they have two sons, James (born 1995) and Jacob (born 1998).

Caan filed for divorce on November 20, 2009, citing irreconcilable differences. They got back together and split again in January.

On the move: Caan - seen here in August in Beverly Hills - has been filming movies back to back. This year alone he has three films coming out - The Throwaways, Wuther High School, Mikow - and he has five others in production: The Waiting, Silican Vampire, From Here To Infirmity, Stark Raving Man and Sweetwater
