No, Michael J. Fox hasn’t died, despite CNN mistakenly airing a “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” tribute video on its platforms, which stirred up death rumors across social media.

The Back to the Future star on Thursday took to Threads to reassure his fans he’s very much alive, despite a decades-long battle with Parkinson’s. “How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” Fox wrote.

“Do you…A) Switch to MSNBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scalding hot water on your lap, if it hurts you’re 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,” he added.
