Clooney: Mac 'Will Be Missed Dearly'

"Ocean's Eleven" stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt are recalling their late co-star Bernie Mac -- and mourning his passing.
"The world just got a little less funny," Clooney tells People magazine. "He will be missed dearly." Fellow "Oceans" star Brad Pitt added, "I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed."
Bernie, 50, died Saturday morning in a Chicago area hospital of complications from pneumonia.



















To Bernie Mac’s family: I just recently heard of his passing. I know there is no consolation for losing him, but I will tell you what I loved about him; his humor; his big heart; his silliness; his sensitivity. I just watched the episode of the Bernie Mac show entitied “Sweet Home Chicago”. If you haven’t seen it, see it. If you have; ‘nuff said. Showed he was more than a comedian. He is a national treasure. I will miss him. Blessings to you and your family.
