Actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died at the age of 50.
The Emmy-nominated star was best known in the UK for film roles in Ocean's 13, Charlie's Angels and Transformers.
But he achieved critical and popular acclaim in the US for his sitcom The Bernie Mac Show, which earned him two Emmy award nominations.
He was admitted to hospital last week and died early on Saturday morning due to complications arising from pneumonia, his publicist said.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs.
However, he said the condition went into remission in 2005. |

First thing that pops in my head when I hear B. Mac is "milk 'n cookies"
If you have seen the Original kings of comedy, you know EXACTLY what I mean.
