Jean Reno, "Da Vinci Code" Star, Did Not Have A Heart Attack: UPDATE

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."

Ronin was a very cool flic, too bad about the gas

I love this guy. I don't envy his being in a position where his gas hits the international headlines! Then again, it shows he's like most of us who find that our aging systems seem less able to tolerate foods we loved when we were younger. Just break out the Beano, Jean, and enjoy your vacation!

That's going to hurt his Q rating. He's going to have to do some serious damage control or audiences may associate the Jean Reno brand with flatulence.

Jean is hot! Loved him in the Professional.

Jean Reno is a cool actor, and has made some excellent films, I wish him bon chance.

Been there, done that, no T-shirt though. Could be acid-reflux though. Good lick with that.

i watched the professional which was pretty good, but then i watched one of his other flicks called 'wasabi' that was pretty bad, but good enough for a rental. hope he gets better.

Check out Ronin with Jean Reno and Robert DeNiro.

'insert joke here'

That's good news I have always liked his work. All I can think of however is that scene from "The Last King of Scotland" with Forrest Whittaker.......LMAO.

well, if they ever do another bugs bunny movie, the part of pepe le pew is all locked up...pun intended

I went through the exact same thing last winter and it was quite an ordeal.
Chest pains, shortness of breath with no warning.
I actually ended up in the ER twice in one weekend.

As it turned out, the antibiotics I was taking had knocked my digestive system
out of balance to the point where one might say I was Verklempt :-)

Two weeks of yogurt and everything is back to normal.

The French are a funny people, no? This guy can make almost any bad movie worth watching.

Gotta love the fella, been in some really good movies, and glad it was just some tummy troubles. I've been there, done that, with my own problems with wondering if it's something else. I have a stomach hernia, not to mention occasional ulcers, occasional asthma, and a problem with my heart, so when I get chest pains and shortness of breath, I don't play a game of guessing which one it is. Better to be safe than sorry. ;)

Hey, the story specifically says this isn't true.
Don't HuffPo interns read the stories they link to?

Anyway glad to hear he's OK.

Jean,

Bon chance!

Bon Vie!
