French actor Jean Reno is in intensive care in the Caribbean after
suffering a heart attack Wednesday.
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. Sources tell PEOPLE that the
actor had a heart attack Wednesday, and doctors on the island decided
to immediately transport Reno to the intensive care facilities at CHU
Fort-au-France on the island of Martinique.
After an urgent medi-evac flight, the 60-year-old is in the hospital's
Cardiac Services Unit. Reporting his present condition as unknown, the
Agence France-Press quote sources saying the actor suffered "a very
serious heart attack."
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.
Hallyday and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were best men at Reno's
wedding in July 2006.
Born in Casablanca of Spanish-exile parents, Reno came to France at
12. He is currently a resident of both Los Angles and Paris.

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!"

He was also in La Femme Nikita, an excellent movie, where he played a role
somewhat similar to the assassin he played in The Professional.
