CNN ACCIDENTALLY CAUSED INTERNET TO BELIEVE MICHAEL J FOX PASSED AWAY
Written by Jesse Skelley on April 9, 2026
Michael J. Fox fans can breathe easy — the beloved actor is alive and doing well. Concerns about his health spread online after CNN mistakenly posted a tribute-style video titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox.” The report sparked confusion, but it was quickly taken down, and there were never any confirmed reports of his passing.
According to his representative, Fox is “doing great” and was recently seen at PaleyFest in Los Angeles. He even made a surprise appearance at the “Shrinking” Season 3 event, joining cast members and creators on stage at the Dolby Theatre.
While Fox has stepped back from acting due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, he continues to make occasional appearances. Diagnosed in 1990 at just 29 years old, he’s since become a leading advocate for research, raising over $2 billion through his foundation and inspiring millions worldwide.
