Michael J. Fox is alive and well.
The "Back to the Future" star, 64, took to Threads on April 8 to laugh off a mistaken report of his demise. Earlier, fans were concerned the star had died after CNN published a tribute video titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox."
In a Threads post, Fox assured fans he is doing OK.
"How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?" he wrote. "Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she's concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf ? I thought the world was ending, but apparently it's just me and I'm ok. Love, Mike."
A CNN spokesperson told USA TODAY the Fox package "was published in error," adding that "we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family." According to Entertainment Weekly, the CNN video looked back at Fox's life and career and featured a narrator speaking about him in the past tense.
