Bernie Mac Dead At Age of 50

 

Bernie’s friends and co-workers paid respects to the actor, saying:

George Clooney : “The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly.”

Brad Pitt, who starred with him in the crime caper trilogy ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, added: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Bernie’s wife Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

Samuel L. Jackson, who can be seen in comedy film ‘Soul Men’ with Mac this autumn, said he was “honoured” to have acted alongside the comedian.

He said: “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the pre-eminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac, and I’m honoured to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement.

“My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.”
