Michael J. Fox had to publicly correct an eerie and inaccurate CNN tribute video that suggested he had died, when he is very much alive and was just onstage at PaleyFest in Los Angeles promoting Shrinking. CNN later apologized and said the package was published in error and removed it, while Fox responded on Threads with a darkly funny post asking how you react when a network reports your death.\n\nFox\u2019s reaction turned the mistake into a sharp, self-aware moment, as he joked through possible responses and ended with the line that the world may have seemed like it was ending, but it was really just him and he was okay. The article also notes that faux death reports have happened to celebrities before, citing Mark Twain, Abe Vigoda and Jeff Goldblum as examples.
