Meanwhile, Brad Pitt, 44, has spoken out about the death of his Ocean's 13 co-star.
‘I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man,’ he tells E! Online.
‘My thoughts are with [his wife], Rhonda, and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.’
Bernie was married to Rhonda McCullough for 31 years. They had daughter Je'Niece together.
