Award-winning actor-comedian Bernie Mac has died at age 50 from complications of pneumonia. Best known for his role in films including “Ocean’s Eleven” and his award winning TV program “The Bernie Mac Show.”
“Wherever I am, I have to play, I have to put on a good show!”
“The world just got a little less funny,” said co-star George Clooney. Carl Reiner, who also appeared in the “Ocean’s” films along with Brad Pitt, said he was “in utter shock” because he thought Mac’s health was improving.
Bernie Mac also had starring roles in “Bad Santa,” “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and “Transformers.”
Mac suffered from Sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He was recently hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.
