Soul Men - Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, and Samuel Jackson

Bernie Mac’s Last Interview (Video) + Samuel Jackson Talk Soul Men

As I heard the news about Isaac Hayes’s passing on Sunday, a day after Bernie Mac’s death, that rule of three came to mind. Who would join the dynamic duo in an untimely death? At first I thought it was Lil Wayne’s daughter; that turned out to be a bad internet joke. Flipped the radio on, a caller said Samuel Jackson joined the soul men. Do you know what kind of freakiness that would have been?

Thankfully that turned out to be a case of half-ear-to-the-radioitis. The caller mentioned Samuel Jackson because he’s in a movie with Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes called Soul Men, it premieres this November; a movie that’s now a first week must-see.

This afternoon Samuel Jackson dapped Bernie Mac (and I’m sure Isaac Hayes, the quote doesn’t extend that far)..

Soul Men - Bernie Mac and Samuel Jackson

“It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac and I’m honored to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement.

My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.”

Entertainment Tonight is shining real bright with >> Bernie Mac’s last interview.

Bernie Mac was a good man of the highest highest order.  He was down to earth and kind, loyal and unique.  He created himself - I would have loved to meet Bernie Mac,  -  Spokane, WA

I love Bernie Mac and it hurts me he is gone.  I never got to meet him one on one, but I feel he was a good hearted person who left us too soon.  He always showed he had a good heart.  I will pray for the family for this is such a hard time for them I am sure. Call on the Lord every day and God will lead the way.  May God Bless the Family of Bernie Mac

Bernie kept it real, he will always be remembered, respected, and missed. He always spoke from the heart. I pray his family can mourn their loss as privately as they need to.

R.I.P Bernie

Sincerely,
