The Professional Star Suffers Major Heart Attack
Filed under: Sad Sad > Francophilia
French actor Jean Reno, who starred alongside Natalie Portman in the modern classic The Professional, suffered a massive heart attack Wednesday while on vacation in St. Bart's.
He remains hospitalized and in intensive care, according to reports.
Interesting note — Reno and French president Nicolas Sarkozy are close friends. Sarkozy was a best man at his wedding two years ago.
Get well, Jean.

Huh? Who? Where's my daily dose of Brangelina or LiLo & SaMAN?
How sad. First!
…be well. "Any Day Now" there will be no more disease. Wishful thinking at best.
aww thats terrible. =(
Nicolas Sarkozy is a safe choise for best man making any groom look good. However, this is sad news. Loved him in Leo :/
Hey Andy… Let's go to St. Bart's!!
im sorry….whoever you are….
Re: bouge – hmm I didnt know you were a girl.. I thought you and Andy had something going on…
this is for…….Matilda….
LOVED LOVED LOVED HIM!!! please get well
Re: Obsession –
oh hell no….ME and Andy are the ones who are fuckin….we only call her when we need a good dick suckin…or when were in the mood for a daisy train.
I saw the directors cut of the professional…..CREEPY, the editors at the studio did that movie a favor. In the directors cut Portman kept trying to get the guy to be her lover while he resisted…..it was like every pedophiles excuse "She is a tease!" Now I know why he divorced Mila Jovovich. She got to be 25 and grew some breasts and stopped looking like she was 15. As for Jean Reno, I hope he recovers!
So sad to hear…great actor…hope he gets well soon!
*ahem* chain
Re: abercorey – Haha ok I see, sounds scandalous!
Get well, Jean! He was simply amazing in The Professional. Still one of my favorite movies.
No way! You better get well soon, ’cause you rock!
I ADORE St. Barths!!!
This is terrible news!!!1 He is a brilliant character actor and I adore him. I hope he will make it!!!
He didn't have a heart attack. He's vacationing and went to the hospital for a check up because he had heart burn..not a heart attack. He didn't even have to stay in the hospital.
no "massive heart attack" - Jean Reno had "sharp pains" and went to the hospital - he had a heart check up that is FINE, so he'll be released soon
TMZ is reporting that this story is false. He didn't have a heart attack.
can I die in st, bart's…. well… a way to go.. better than in a box eating thrown out chinese food from a dumpster… GET WELL ease up on sex
Re: Andy27 – I know what is the world coming to darling.
that really sucks!!! The Professional was such an awesome movie and I wish they had not killed him in that movie so they could keep making more. I'm still waiting for them to do another one w/ Natalie of course!
Get well soon, babe!
xoxo,

Thats really bad, take care man! Rest a lot more and get well soon!
I live in France and have just watched the national news, no mention of this story even though this guy is a total hero and icon here ? What's going on ?
Re: Obsession – Oh! We DO have something going on. Things that would make your head spin. Despite what Abercorey say, he gets MY sloppy seconds.
You want in, too?
Come on Perez, I have just read on TMZ that this is totally not true, that's why it wasn't on the evening news in France, ’cause it isnt true. Get on top of it !
Love the professionals! He was really good with Natalie Portman. He was also good in the Da Vinci Code! Get well soon Jean!
Jean Reno is not French; he is actually Spanish born in Morocco. He moved later on when he was a teen.
hett well soon please!

oooh so sad i didnt even think he was that old get well soon!!!
The best movie Jean Reno did was a movie called "The Big Blue".. Rent it and watch it.
Dear Dished, I did not say he was French, read the comment ! I said he was a total hero and Icon here in France, that's all, end of………….
Oh no!! get well…. Always been a fan of him…
Heart Attack? I heard he had tummie-trouble (stomach flu) while on vacation in Martinique, but an attack? He worked with an underaged Natalie Portman, how can a man like that have a weak heart?!!
