Bernie Mac
In the wake of the untimely death of the great Bernie Mac his friends and collegues have remembered their pal.
George Clooney said "The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly."
George Lopez: At 50 years old he will be sorely missed and to be such a good father to your kids and to be a great husband and not be around is really difficult for everybody. As comics we are all brothers and Ill miss him a lot. He was a good friend of mine.
Brad Pitt: "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."
Samuel L. Jackson: "It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent 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 honored 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."
Luke Wilson: "He couldn't have been a nicer guy. He just seemed like a real family man and just a nice guy on the set, just very kind of normal guy."
Niecy Nash, who played Mac's sister on The Bernie Mac: " When I showed up to work, he said something to me that had never been said to me on a set before. He said, 'Baby girl, the script here is not the Bible. Do you, and I'll follow. I got mine, you get yours.' When he said that, I knew everything was going to be all right. I was happy to have the freedom to make up some funny with him. It was simply delicious."
Don Cheadle: "This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, but heaven just got funnier."
I think that sums up the loss to the world beautifully.
