Claim: “(R I P) Hollywood Reports Very Sad News About Angelina Jolie, She Is Confirmed dead,” a Facebook user claimed.
Verdict: Hoax! The latest report from the BBC shows that Angelina Jolie is alive.
Full Text
Angelina Jolie, an American actress, filmmaker and humanitarian, is yet another victim to be reported deceased online. A Facebook user named Alang Godwin posted on Sept. 28, 2024, that the actress was pronounced dead by Hollywood.
As of this report, the post had three shares, four reactions, and three comments, with one commenter sending RIP to the actress and another asking if the information was real.
DUBAWA checked to verify the truthfulness of the post.
Verification
On October 18, 2024, the BBC reported that Angelina was at the London Film Festival on October 18, 2024.
They stated she “walked the red carpet in London on Friday as her film about opera singer Maria Callas received its UK premiere.”
The news agency said the American actress’s movie will be released in cinemas in the UK on January 10 next year.
Reports about the death of the actress are a recurring problem. In 2013 and 2016, the information was in circulation and verified, yet it is still circulating.
Most recently, this year, an Indian fact-checking institution also debunked the claim.
Conclusion
The report about the death of American actress Angelina Jolie is a hoax.
