    Morgan Freeman - Morgan Freeman Dead? No! But What About 50 Shades Of Grey?

    Morgan Freeman will not be the voice of the 50 Shades of Grey audiobooks, reports E! Online. Freeman has been the victim of some strange rumours of late, and this is the latest to be quashed.
    Whoever decided to claim Morgan Freeman died in 2012 fooled 66,000 people on Facebook, and numerous others that believed the Shawshank Redemption actors fake death. 'Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax,' a rep for Freeman explained. Now that that’s cleared up, it’s time to set the record straight regarding the Fifty Shades rumours: they’re false, again. The audio excerpts from the YouTube clip that first perpetrated the lies are actually the work of actor-comedian Josh Robert Thompson, who's celebrity impressions include Matthew Mcconaughey, Robert De Niro and, of course, Morgan Freeman.
    Freeman is not the first celebrity to be subject to attention seeking death-rumours; Chris Brown, Paul Mccartney, Eddie Murphy, Celine Dion and Justin Bieber have all been victim to Internet tales surrounding their faux deaths. Those who instantly believed the rumours surrounding Freeman, though, should possibly have read the Facebook’s about page, which stated that he wasn’t in fact dead, and heeded caution about believing everything you read on the Internet. You’ll have read this on the Internet, and it’s true, we promise.

    Morgan Freeman dead in 2012? Nope, rep. says actor alive and well; blames hoax

    It seems like a strange story -- reporting that someone is not dead. But the peristent rumors spreading virally throughout the Web in recent days that Hollywood star and Mississippian Morgan Freeman is dead have caused concern among many that needs correcting.

    Morgan Freeman is not dead, according to a representative of the actor.

    'Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax,' a rep for Freeman told E! Online.

    The Morgan Freeman dead rumor started late last week when a Facebook page that garnered tens of thousands likes suggested that the 75-year-old actor had died.

    Even though the Facebook page stated clearly in the description, 'He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,' many took the page that was named 'R.I.P. Morgan Freeman' as truth and spread the rumor.
    It's easy, however, to see why many believed the page despite the disclaimer, considering the 'About' section on the Facebook fan page said this:

    'At about 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, our beloved actor Morgan Freeman passed away due to a artery rupture. Morgan was born on June 1, 1937. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.'

    The page has more than 800,000 'likes.'

    Days later, the rumor

    Morgan Freeman Died 2012: Death Hoax Draws Nearly 1M on Facebook, Fans Demand Jail for Creators

    Fans of beloved actor Morgan Freeman are enraged about continued rumors regarding the 75-year-old actor's death.
    Representatives for Freeman have confirmed he is alive and well, but a Facebook page called 'R.I.P. Morgan Freeman' has drawn 866,000 likes as online hoaxers continue to perpetuate rumors of his demise.
    Some fans have suggested jail time or banishment from social networks as punishment for the anonymous sources who continue to report Freeman is dead.

    Death hoaxes that spread through social media can be emotionally damaging for either the celebrity involved or that person's fans, according to Dr. Pamela Brown Rutledge, who spoke to Gather.com.
    'While a hoax may strike some as funny, and there are undoubtedly some instances of funny ones that we might commonly refer to as 'practical jokes,' most hoaxes are designed to promote the psychological or commercial interests of the perpetrator at the expense of the victims,' she said.
    A spokesman for Freeman addressed the rumors over the weekend to ease the minds of worried fans.
    'Morgan is alive and well and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,' Freeman's rep said in a statement.
    Freeman is only the most recent celebrity to succumb to a fictional demise publicized online. Bill Cosby is one of the death hoax

    Morgan Freeman dead? Hoax continues to dupe fans

    Morgan Freeman is not dead but the hoax that caused all of these rumors isn't either. Thousands of people are still convinced that the actor is gone, days after his rep debunked the rumors. Thanks to a Facebook page claiming the actor died after an artery rupture, people have been quite upset, many still leaving their condolences now. On September 11, over 870,000 people 'liked' the page, many still confused about the actor's current condition. According to NBC News, the rumors surrounding the actor just won't go away.

    Apparently there is also a narration of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' being circulated, people claiming that the voice belongs to Freeman—and that it was his last bit of work before he kicked the bucket.

    But Morgan Freeman isn't dead... and the voice doing the reading? Isn't even his. The voice is actually Josh Robert Thompson, an actor-comedian who is known for his impeccable impressions. So not only do several thousand people believe that Freeman is dead, but even more believe that he did a reading of the infamous 'mommy porn' novel. Oy.
    The only way for these rumors to stop is for people to stop adding fuel to the fire. There are still a ton of people who are 'liking' the 'R.I.P. Morgan Freeman' Facebook page, and the more of their friends that see the page and 'like it,' the longer this is going to continue. If you want the insanity to stop, yo

    So True? So False? Morgan Freeman Dead?! And Narrating Fifty Shades of Grey?!

    Morgan Freeman may have played God on the big screen. But did he just meet his maker? And did he actually do an audio rendition of Fifty Shades of Grey before he kicked the bucket?
    Word spread like wildfire yesterday that the 75-year-old acting legend had suddenly passed away, thanks to a Facebook page that's so far garnered 66,000 likes. At the same time, a YouTube video surfaced last Sunday purportingly featuring Freeman narrating some naughty selections from E.L. James bondage-themed best-seller.
    Well, E! News has looked into these rumors and can definitely say the answer is...
    Who killed Morgan Freeman?
    So false!
    'Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax,' a rep for Freeman tells us.
    This isn't the first time the thesp has been killed off by the Internet. Two years ago, the Twitterverse lit up with rumors of his premature demise, which obviously turned out to be false.

    No doubt the news that he's A-OK will come as a relief to his legion of fans, many of whom took to posting comments expressing their outrage over the ruse. Those feeling duped might have also figured it out a little earlier, by the way, if they'd bothered to read the Facebook page's 'about section,' which states: 'He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Interne
