HuffPost mistakenly published a video memorializing Michael J. Fox, who is very much alive. The error prompted a humorous response from Fox and highlights the issue of premature death announcements for public figures.
While Washington spins the latest economic data and billionaires hedge their bets, working Americans are feeling the very real squeeze of rising costs, and sudden instability. HuffPost reports on the real economy – the one that impacts you.
On Wednesday, the network shared a video titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” that paid tribute to Fox’s acting career and his work fighting Parkinson’s and promoting stem cell research. There was just one issue: The 64-year-old is still very much alive. In fact, he appeared at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Tuesday to help promote the just-wrapped third season of the Apple TV series “Shrinking.” Fox will play a man with Parkinson’sthat “the package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms” and said that the network sends “apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”“Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, Relax, they do this once every year, Ask yourself wtf ?” he wondered.He then added, “I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok. Love, Mike.” Fox isn’t the first famous person who has had to deal with a death announcement while they were still alive. In 1897, author Mark Twain responded to rumors that he had died in both London and New York by noting, He was plagued by premature death announcements for the next few decades until his death in 2016 at the age of 94. Jeff Goldblum had died after falling off a cliff“No one will miss Jeff Goldblum more than me. He was not only a friend and mentor, but he was also me,” he said.JD Vance Lobs Strange Attack After Trump Death RumorsBy entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
