James Earl Jones Is Alive!

The Internet needs to stop killing off people who aren't actually dead.

James Earl Jones is the latest star to fall victim to a death hoax. The 84-year-old actor is still very much alive, but after a parody website posted news of his supposed demise many thought he had passed away. The link, however, took users to a page that declared, "You got owned!"

Not everyone caught onto the hoax, as Facebook saw the death announcement and posted the news on the social media platform. But rest at ease, readers. Mufasa is still very much alive and will even be voicing the former lion king in the new TV movie sequel, The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar.  

Rob Lowe, who is voicing grown-up version of Simba, joins Jones. Gabrielle Union will be playing Nala, Simba's wife. Other cast members include Sarah Hyland, Max Charles and Atticus Shaffer.
