Actor Sylvester Stallone is the victim of a death hoax.
A rumor claiming that the 71-year-old actor had passed away recently surfaced on social media — and he was not happy about it.
Stallone took to Twitter to express his annoyance.
"Please ignore the stupidity," the "Rocky" star tweeted Monday. "Alive and well and happy and healthy … Still punching!"
Stallone's younger brother, Frank, also took to the social media platform to inform everyone of the death hoax. And he wasn't happy either.
