“As much as some haters would love for me to have died, which I don’t know why other than being jealous of my 1980’s Dolf Lundgren (circa 1980’s) looking body, I’m still alive and currently putting icy hot on 65 percent of my body after trying to put on my socks,” he joked.
Larry – real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney – explained that this specific rumors happens at least once a year and clarified again that it was fake.
“I’m fully mobile. The last time I laid motionless was on my honeymoon according to my wife.
“I’m not dead, I don’t have sleep Apnea or Diabetes. I do however have major farts from honey roasted pistachios. I love all y’all!”
The cruel hoax circulated online, causing the 60-year-old to trend online.
“I’m so glad that you are alive and well!” wrote a fan. “God bless you!”
“Glad to hear it, Larry. Live on, dude!” wrote another fan.
Others made jokes, with one fan posting a link to the Bee Gees song Stayin’ Alive and another shared a GIF that read “He is risen. Happy Ressurection Day,” referring to the resurrection of Jesus in the Bible.
It’s not the first time baseless rumors have spread about Larry’s apparent demise.
Over the years, death rumors about Larry have taken different forms from false reports of him being in a fatal accident to false news reports he has succumbed to a severe illness.
Larry has often used those rumors to speak about false information and the need to fact-check.
