Jean RenoJean Reno’s spokesperson has denied rumours that the actor had a heart attack yesterday.

The Leon star was hospitalised in the Caribbean on Wednesday night and was rumoured to have had a “series” cardiac arrest but yesterday his publicist insisted that it was a digestive problem instead.

Publicist Christina Papadopoulos explained: “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 not a heart attack. He is fine and healthy and enjoying the rest of his vacation travelling in the Caribbean.

“I think he was just enjoying vacation and probably ate a little too much spicy Caribbean food!”

The 60 year old actor underwent tests at the Fort-de-France hospital on Martinique before being released yesterday.
