Earlier reports that French actor Jean Reno suffered a heart attack
are false, and the actor is currently enjoying his Caribbean vacation,
PEOPLE has learned.
The 60-year-old actor's publicist confirms that he went to the
hospital, but for a less serious ailment.
"Reports that actor Jean Reno is in the hospital due to a heart attack
are false. He is vacationing in the Caribbean and went to a local
hospital as a precaution for some discomfort he was feeling due to
heartburn and gastroenteritis. It was definitely was not a heart
attack. He is fine and healthy and enjoying the rest of his vacation
traveling in the Caribbean," his publicist, Christina Papadopoulos,
tells PEOPLE.
She even joked, "I think he was just enjoying vacation and probably
ate a little too much spicy Caribbean food!"
Reno, and his wife, Zofia, arrived in St. Bart's on Tuesday where they
were house-guests of French rocker Johnny Hallyday and his wife,
according to French news agency LCI. Hallyday and French President
Nicolas Sarkozy were best men at Reno's wedding in July 2006.
Reno has starred in any number of major films including The
Professional opposite Natalie Portman, The Da Vinci Code, Mission:
Impossible, Pink Panther and as an unlikely romantic comic lead
opposite Juliette Binoche and Christina Applegate.
Born in Casablanca of Spanish-exile parents, Reno came to France at
12. He is currently a resident of both Los Angles and Paris.
