Chris Hemsworth’s death hoax takes over

The fake news about Chris Hemsworth‘s death started coming up because it was reported that a Thor actor had died. The person everyone was reporting was Ray Stevenson.

However, given that most of the media outlets reported it as a “Thor actor” people were quick to assume it was Chris.

This led to comments like “Just got a notification saying “actor who plays Thor is dead” I almost caught a heart attack thinking Chris Hemsworth was dead ION EVEN PLAY LIKE THAT” and “The fox app just said “Thor” actor dead at 58. Still very sad regardless, but being vague and making people think it was Chris Hemsworth for clicks is classless..” started coming up online.

In reality, the actor is alive and well in 2023.
