Being a celebrity can sometimes come with a death hoax or two. The latest Hollywood star to fall victim to such a rumor is Sylvester Stallone, who has shut down false reports that he's dead.
The 71-year-old actor posted an Instagram photo of the hoax, which claims he passed away from prostate cancer and was secretly hiding his illness. "Please ignore this stupidity… Alive and well and happy and healthy… Still punching," he says in the caption. It also includes photos of him looking frail. Snopes traced those photos back to released stills from the upcoming Creed 2.
Please ignore this stupidity… Alive and well and happy and healthy… Still punching!

"Rumors that my brother is dead are false," the 67-year-old tweeted. "What kind of sick demented cruel mind thinks of things like this to post?" Frank also called out hosts Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld: "People like this are mentally deranged and don’t deserve a place in society."
Stallone's younger brother Frank was rightfully pissed at the hoax as well and dismissed them on social media.
