Gene Wilder tormented by death hoax
 

Sad but true, yet another FaceBook death hoax.

Today, many people have been upset & spread the malicious hoax without the knowledge Gene Wilder is still alive.

What's concerning is even the wiki has him as died August 29, 2016 (aged 83) Stamford, Connecticut, U.S.

His wiki says the cause of death is "Complications of Alzheimer's disease"

Here is the hoax story...

Please can some one find more details whether he has passed or not, as like many, I really enjoyed this amazing actor.

No, I've just checked more further into this, sadly he has died at the age of 83!

That's going to be one hell of a reunion for him.. Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner, Richard Pryor, Marty Feldman. RIP to one of the greats.

He was a sharpshooter when comic timing was involved.

great example at 1:34

Seemed legit :(

i like you but your gullible as fuck. :2 cents:

The Waco kid was an epic role

CNN is reporting him gone.....

2016 Fucking sucks for celebs. RIP, Gene. I loved your work.

Thanks for the death report, brasshat.

Ahhh fantastic! Thanks for this post, never seen this movie! Loved his face when revealing eyegor :1orglaugh he's always brilliant & shall always be :thumbsup

yes, it's very very sad news guys :(

RIP Gene. He was a great actor

I loved his work. He was one of the greats. Plus him and Richard Pryor were comedy gold together. Very sad news :-(

to confirm, they have just edited this page, as it did state how over 250,000 people had passed the message on facebook 2 days ago.

here is another site Gene Wilder dead 2016 : Actor killed by celebrity death hoax - Mediamass

"News of actor Gene Wilder?s death spread quickly earlier this week, causing concern among fans across the world. However, the August 2016 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax, the actor best known for his roles in Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles or The Producers is alive and well"

Wondering if the trauma of reading the hoax actually may have had something to do with his death! :disgust :mad:

Sad, really loved all his work.

R.I.P. Gene Wilder!!

RIP Gene, I liked your style and acting.

One of my favorite comedies of all time.

RIP

I didn't realize he was that old (83). Consolation is that he had 83 years ...

RIP Gary

No one could totally lose their shit in a movie like he could.

Two of his best scenes in one of his finest work "Stir Crazy":

RIP!

I thought 83 was quite young. I'd think to make 90 these days would be about right & yes, like you, I thought he still only looked 70 :thumbsup



What a fabulous thread with so many of his clips above :thumbsup

I will never forget him in Young Frankenstien. He was truly a great actor.

They sure don't make movies the way they did in his day. Everything now is so boring and formula, there's no dialogue, no character development because no-one wants to take risk. One of my favorites and I remember there was a time when directors voted "Stir Crazy" as the best comedy movie of all time. Stir Crazy (100th), Young Frankenstein (11th) and Blazing Saddles (6th) all on this list which is amazing after so much time:

You could never see another Young Frankenstein or a Stir Crazy or even his style of Willy Wonka :2 cents: If you never saw any of these three, all are highly recommended!

sums it up :1orglaugh

did you not enjoy his movies? :disgust

I thought everyone enjoyed Gene Wilders movies, one of the best comedy actors of all time. He was great to look at & the way he spoke.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup
