HOLLYWOOD HEAVYWEIGHTS HAVE PAID TRIBUTE TO BERNIE MAC, WHO
DIED OVE THE WEEKEND.
HE WAS 50 YEARS OF AGE.

The actor and comedian died in a Chicago hospital after a bout with pneumonia.
Just days earlier, his publicist Danica Smith issued a statement saying Mac was
"responding well to treatment".
"The world just got a little less funny," said George Clooney, who
co-starred with Mac in the Ocean's trilogy of films.
"He will be dearly missed."
Echoing Clooney's sentiments, Ocean's star Brad Pitt said: "I lament the
loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man.
"My thoughts are with [Mac's wife] Rhonda and their family."
"Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutely filled up any
room he was in," said actor and comedian Chris Rock.
"I'm gonna miss the Mac Man."
Mac, whose real name was Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, had suffered from a
chronic tissue inflammation called sarcoidosis, but went into remission in
2005.
Mac was best known for his TV comedy series The Bernie Mac Show, which ran for
five seasons until 2006.
Along with the Ocean's capers, he appeared in movies such as Charlie's Angels:
Full Throttle and Transformers.
