The sick rumour appears to have started when a YouTube channel called Military News posted a video on October 13, 2023, claiming actor and director Clint Eastwood had died.
The clip’s title read, “5 Minutes Ago / Clint Eastwood Died on the way to the hospital / Goodbye Clint Eastwood.
The video had been viewed over 130,000 times on Military News’ YouTube channel at the time of this writing.
The video began: “With heavy hearts, we regrettably inform the world of the devastating loss of the iconic and beloved figure, Clint Eastwood.
It is with a profound sense of grief that we share the news that Mr. Eastwood, a towering presence in our lives, passed away at the age of 93”.
And it wasn’t long before the power of social media sent the post viral, attracting nearly one million likes.

Is Clint Eastwood dead or alive
Clint Eastwood is very much alive and well. According to the Mirror, a source told Radar Online:
‘Clint has always enjoyed great health and been vital and active despite his advancing age, but the fact that he hasn’t been around as much lately has a lot of people in Hollywood worried about him.
However, Military News is not a reputable source of news about celebrity deaths.
