After Bernie Mac was hospitalized this weekend with pneumonia, cruel rumors started circulating that he had died.
Mac, 50, was admitted to a Chicago area hospital on Saturday. His spokesperson said in a statement, “Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery. We once again ask that the press respect his privacy and that of his family.”
“Mr. Mac is responding well to treatment and will be released soon. He asked that his privacy and that of his family is respected while he gets well.”
She added that the pneumonia was not related to his 2005 diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
