Social Media kills the legendary Movie Actor Chuck Noris at 80
By Correspondent
Legendary action movie star Chuck Norris died Thursday night at his home in Northwood Hills, TX, at the age of 80, according to Social Media rumour mill.
Famous for movies like The Delta Force, Chuck Noris reportedly succumbed to the Delta variant of Corona virus, Social Media indicated.
However, after this minor inconvenience of death- rumour, Chuck Noris decided to make a full recovery Friday afternoon. He is now doing well, and we are hearing that now the Corona virus is in self isolation for 14 days after being exposed to Chuck Norris, can you imagine!
Well, the celebrity dead rumor mill is at it again. This time the (supposed) victim is Chuck Norris. According to rumors circulating on social media, the 80-year-old martial arts action movie star and Air Force veteran was felled by the novel coronavirus.
Norris, who served in the Air Force in Korea and beyond, is alive and well still, and maybe forever. He’s just the latest target of the endless rumor mill surrounding celebrity deaths — a rumor mill that had better watch its back.
Celebrities are frequently the targets of such rumors, dating all the way back to Mark Twain, who was famously reached for comment about his own death in a June 1897 issue of the New York Journal. Beyonce, Clint Eastwood and — arguably the most famous — Paul McCartney have all supposedly died before their time.
The age of COVID-19 has brought out a lot of new rumors surrounding celebrity deaths, given the misunderstandings about the virus and its lethality. Many celebrities have (really) contracted it, including actors Tom Hanks and Tony Shalhoub, singer-songwriter Pink and even the UK’s Prince Charles. All went into isolation to prevent the spread of the virus.
Chuck Norris isn’t one of those. Chuck Norris puts the coronavirus in isolation. According to the Poynter Institute, the Chuck Norris rumor comes from a Facebook post on June 11th in the group “ Are You Not Entertained?” It read:
“Corona Virus claims a black belt. Carlos Ray ‘Chuck’ Norris, famous actor and fighter, died yesterday afternoon at his home in Northwood Hills, TX at the age of 80.”
