Navigand de dimineata pe internet, accesand intamplator YouTube sa vad un trailer la un film, observ un filmulet pe prima pagina cu titlul “RIP Bernie Mac”. Dupa 5 secunde de soc in care mi-am adus aminte cine e actorul si in cat de multe filme a jucat, dau repede pe google “bernie mac dies” si surpriza … ziarul Chicago Tribune anunta nefericitul eveniment si anume ca actorul de comedie s-a stins din viata ieri 9 august 2008 fiind doborat de complicatiile aparute in urma unei pneumonii. Dupa o saptamana de spitalizare la Northwestern Hospital doctorii nu au mai putut face nimic pentru a-l salva. Comedianul Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, sau cunoscut dupa numele sau de scena “Bernie Mac”, sufera inca din anul 2000 de o boala care ii ataca diferite tesuturi ale corpului, in mod special plamanii. Cu siguranta prezenta lui impunatoare si comica ne va lipsi multora din filmele ce vor aparea, si cu atat mai mult din filmele cu mai multe parti in care a jucat si care vor mai fi continuate.
Odihneasca-se in pace!
