Bogus Report Circulating That Tom Hanks Has Died

Posted Nov 16th 2006 10:46AM by Celly

A report is swirling around the Internet that Tom Hanks died this morning after falling off a cliff in New Zealand during a movie shoot. TMZ is told by New Zealand authorities that the report is totally bogus.

An official from Interpol, the police in Wellington, New Zealand, confirms to TMZ that no report of an accidental death has been taken and they are certain no such incident occurred.

TMZ has obtained a photo of Tom Hanks taken just yesterday in Ontario, California, during the filming of "Charlie Wilson's War."

It appears fakeawish.com, a website that touts hoaxes, is responsible for the fake story.

17. Tom Hanks becomes uglier with age. He also cheated on his wife.

18. I find it hard to believe there is a site out there dedicated to providing this type of falsehood. What kind of gratification could you possibly get out of lying about someone's death? Tom Hanks is also a #1 in my book, I think he's an incredible actor, who's ablilty and legacy are unmatched. He has created some of the best roles in history that will forever be cherished in so many hearts around the globe. My personal favorite being FORREST GUMP, what an awesome movie! He was recently nominated for Favorite Male Movie Star, as well as his most recent film The DaVinci Code, nominated for New Favorite Movie Drama for the upcoming People's Choice Awards. Be sure to cast your votes, I got to vote the day the nominations came out because I work with the People's Choice Community.

19. Shame on fakeawish.com for that b.s. story. Tom Hanks is a great actor, do they have nothing to do but come up with all this stupid news? They should be going to hell for that.

20. Um, I can report with 100% accuracy that Tom Hanks is NOT a Scientologist.
