The reports of Russell Croweโs death are greatly exaggerated.
Croweโs rep issued a two-word statement Thursday, following Internet and radio reports that claimed the โRobin Hoodโ actor had fallen to his death from an Austrian mountaintop.
โNot true,โ the rep said when contacted by Us Magazine.
New York City radio station Z100 reportedly sparked the Internet firestorm Thursday morning by announcing Crowe's death. As the macabre news spread online, Crowe was himself tweeting furious on soccer, E! News reported.
Crowe joins a growing list of not-dead-yet celebrities that includes Jeff Goldblum, Natalie Portman, George Clooney, Britney Spears, Harrison Ford, Zach Braff, Johnny Depp and Kanye West.
