It was reported in the Daily Mail today that the wonderful actor Louis Jourdan has died at the age of 93. I will always remember him in Gigi and Octopussy.

I just googled him, and every reference is saying he died on February 14, including obituaries in the Guardian and Telegraph


plus this, which I think is the one that you saw .............

News of actor Louis Jourdan’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the February 2015 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his role in Gigi is alive and well.

UPDATE 17/02/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more) <<<<<<<


"read more" only takes you to the site that says it is a hoax ....... and it seems to have been set up to debunk anything said by mainstream media about celebrities.
