New York – Funny man Bernie Mac has been admitted to the hospital.

This weekend, his rep said, “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.”

However, a source close to the family revealed to the Chicago Sun Times that Bernie is in “very, very critical” condition.

The Ocean’s 13 star has been in remission from sarcoidosis since 2005.

“I’ve had sarcoidosis since 1983, and it has not altered or limited my lifestyle. No one knows where sarcoidosis comes from or where it starts, and there’s no known cause for this condition that effects primarily minorities,” told Bernie Mac to Star magazine’s Website in 2005.
