Macek was born in Litomyšl, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. In May 2006 Macek made international news when, coming from behind, he struck the Minister of Health David Rath at a dentists' conference, accusing him of having insulted his wife (after Rath had publicly stated that Macek had married his wife for money).[1]
Macek was a member of Mensa International, being considered the first member from behind the Iron Curtain.[2] He stated that he had become a member in 1980.[3]
In 2017, he published his novel Saturnin se vrací (Saturnin Returns), a sequel to Zdeněk Jirotka's acclaimed novel, Saturnin.[4]
Macek died on 1 May 2024, at the age of 79.[5]
