George Clooney has been forced to deny reports he had died.
The Ocean’s Thirteen hunk, 48, became the latest star to fall victim to Internet pranksters who rushed online to spread rumours of his death.
Clooney’s publicist Stan Rosenfield told celebrity website TMZ.com that he was “bombarded” with calls from media outlets after claims of his passing began to surface.
He told the site that “some of Clooney’s friends… were genuinely shaken by [the] reports.”
A surge of fake deaths have emerged in the last week, following the genuine deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
Jeff Goldblum was a victim of tricksters after an online stunt insisted he had fallen to his death while filming in New Zealand.
Britney Spears’ representatives also had to confirm the singer was alive after a hacker broke into her Twitter account and sent a message to her two million followers claiming she had died. It was also wrongly rumoured that Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder had passed away.
