Macaulay Culkin reacted pretty well to the news of his own death
FEAR NOT – HOME ALONE actor Macaulay Culkin isn’t dead, just the victim of a nasty death hoax on Facebook.
You may have noticed people sharing links like these, which lead to a story on Culkin’s alleged death, on your Facebook timeline lately.

The link brings you to a fake news website called MSNBC.website.com, where you’ll find an article that reads:
People were convinced by the article, and began sharing condolences on Twitter.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
However, Culkin is alive and well – just the victim of his second death hoax this year (the first occurred in April).
He’s currently touring with his band The Pizza Underground, and responded to the hoax with a series of sarcastic tweets and photos. Sure how else are you supposed to respond to a death hoax?
Oh, we like that one the best.
Wishing you well in your continued existence, Mac.
