Is Clint Eastwood still with us? Despite recurring death hoaxes that have plagued social media, the legendary actor and director is very much alive. The internet, it seems, can't resist prematurely writing the obituaries of beloved figures, and Clint Eastwood has been a recurring target.
The most recent wave of misinformation involved a Facebook post claiming the "Dirty Harry" star had passed away at 89. This quickly spread, demonstrating how easily false information can gain traction online. This isn't the first time, either. Similar rumors surfaced in 2019 with a fake CNN story, and again in 2022 with fabricated images of Eastwood in a hospital, designed to lure users into downloading malware. Each instance underscores the need for critical evaluation of information encountered on social media platforms.
