Reports of Jeff Goldblum’s and Harrison Ford’s deaths are grossly exaggerated.As the world was hit with not one, but two tragic celebrity deaths on Thursday – Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson – the Internet seemed to suggest two more Hollywood demises had occurred that same day: “Jurassic Park” actor Goldblum and “Indiana Jones” himself, Harrison Ford.
The rumors of Goldblum and Ford’s untimely deaths turned out to be false, and were in fact well-known Internet pranks that once made similar claims of Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise.”Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue,” said the actor’s publicist in a statement Thursday night. “He is fine and in Los Angeles.”
According to Snopes.com, these stories are automatically generated with fake scenarios via prank websites. Users simply plug in any name – which in this case were Goldblum and Ford.For Goldblum, it was suggested he fell to his death while filming a movie in New Zealand. Ford supposedly disappeared while on a boat in the French Riviera.This kind of prank first appeared online in 2006, and targeted Hanks. Cruise was similarly reported “dead” in 2008.
