There doesn’t appear to be anything like the R.I.P Morgan Freeman Facebook page that appeared in late August, one that got close to one million “likes.” The page got so big that itled to Morgan Freeman putting out a statement through a rep verifying that he was in fact among the living.

“Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” Morgan’s representative said.

With the Morgan Freeman dead rumors picking up again, Travelers Today uncovered a number of tweets about the topic:

“Is Morgan Freeman really dead or is this just another dead funny thing to do on Facebook?”

“Morgan Freeman has died :'( #Legend

“Morgan Freeman RIP. An amazing actor and human being.”

“RIP Morgan Freeman, ill miss your beautiful voice”

Not only is Morgan Freeman alive, but the 75-year-old is busy working. In the past few weeks he lent his voice to a campaign ad for Barack Obama.
