14 Strangest Celebrity Death Hoaxes

SHARE
People are SO good at faking things on the internet. And it's probably all our faults for believing them – but sometimes they just look and seem so real! It's seriously getting harder and harder to tell what to believe when you're reading something on the internet. Remember when there was that hoax about charging an iPod with an onion? But it's the worstwhen it involves a celebrity death. How do you know if it's time to mourn or to roll your eyes and scoff? Since the trolls know how much it gets everyone riled up, it happens so often now. So here are all the craziest celebrity death hoaxes!

1. Tom Cruise has supposedly died, like, 15 times. The latest was in 2013 when there was a false news report going around that he died of a car crash in Australia! 

The news report said he died because he lost control of the car when he was performing a stunt for a movie. Thank God it's not true! We would've never gotten more Mission: Impossiblemovies!

2. Everybody loves Tom Hanks. He's the nicest guy in show business! That's why the whole world was shocked when they heard that Tom Hanks had died!

The hoax was that he fell off a cliff while filming a movie! He was actually just in Canada at the time. He couldn't believe it when his manager called to tell him about the crazy rumor!

3. Miley Cyrus was also the victim of a death hoax! Back in 2008 (pre-weird Miley), people went crazy on the internet because they thought Miley had died on the way to the Hannah Montanaset.

Earlier this year, there was another report that Miley had died in her home because she overdosed on drugs! But Miley quickly debunked the hoax with a topless photo on Instagram. Classic Miley!

4. Macaulay Culkin was supposedly found dead in his New York City apartment last year after a "RIP Macaulay Culkin" Facebook page was created. 

The page got so popular that it almost reached one million likes! But Macaulay found the whole thing funny and posted tons of photos on Twitter showing that he was on tour with his band. 

5. A website decided to to spread a nasty rumor that Angelina Julie had died because she committed suicide!

The website is known for sharing celebrity death hoaxes. 

People believed it because the website posted that CNN had actual video footage! Supposedly, the video was Angelina saying goodbye to her fans and her family before committing suicide. 

6. Jackie Chan apparently died twice in one year! In 2011, he supposedly died from a heart attack and his manager had to post on his Facebook page to calm the fans down. 

A few months later, a Facebook page called "RIP Jackie Chan" appeared and people freaked out! Jackie posted a picture of him with a newspaper pointing to the date to show that he was alive.

7. Why do celebs always supposedly die in car accidents? Apparently, Lady Gaga died in a car accident in LA. It was revealed that Justin Bieber's fans had started the whole rumor!

They were supposedly jealous that Lady Gaga's songs were being played on the radio more often than Justin's. 

8. Eminem was the victim of a death hoax when it was rumored that he had died in a car accident. There were photos posted that were supposedly from the wreckage of his "fatal" crash.

And then Eminem apparently died again! A Facebook post showed a gory photo of a man getting stabbed. The caption for it was, "left DEAD after being stabbed." 

9. Nicolas Cage was supposedly riding his motorcycle at night when he got into an accident. There was a picture of Nicolas beside a coffin posted on Facebook. 

The title said he died in a motorcycle accident but in the caption, it said he died because he was skiing! Which is the true false rumor?!??!?!

10. Bill Nye made some people angry when he posted a video on YouTube called "Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children." So some anti-science people decided to start a death rumor!

Joke's on them because Bill Nye is alive AND he's still The Science Guy. And the video reached over a million views almost immediately after the death hoax happened. 

11. Russell Crowe is another celeb who supposedly died because he was too close to the edge! Russell tweeted after the rumors came out that he fell off a mountain to calm everyone down.

He tweeted, "Unable to answer tweets fell off a mountain in Austria, all over red rover. Don't know how i got there, but the media are never wrong.G'Bye." At least he's got a sense of humor about it!

12. If you're starting rumors about The Rock being dead... you better be careful. There was a rumor that he died while filming a movie and he was pissed off! 

He tweeted: "I would love to meet the person who is starting rumors of my death – to show them how a dead foot feels up their ass." Don't ever piss him off! His arm is the size of a regular person's body!

13. Usher supposedly died in a car accident while driving to get fast food late at night. But then he had the BEST response on Twitter: "I must've died and went to heaven... Alive and cold kickin ass!!"

And then he posted a picture of him shirtless. His abs are no hoax.

14. Paris Hilton's been the victim of death hoaxes for years! The first one was back in 2007 when there was a rumor that she was stabbed while she was in jail. 

And then she was the victim of a fictional car crash! That's not hot!
