Popular Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone has laughed off a bizarre hoax while his younger brother Frank termed those spreading the hoax as “mentally deranged”.
“Please ignore the stupidity. Alive and well and happy and healthy…Still punching!” the 71-year-old hero of the popular Rambo and Rocky series, posted on his Twitter handle.

Terming the social media reports of his brother’s death as rumours, Frank, said, “What kind of sick demented cruel mind things of things like this to post? People like this are mentally deranged and don’t deserve a place in society.”
He also pointed out that the images purporting to show him suffering from an illness that made him lose his hair were likely from a scene he has filmed for one of films.
This is not the first time that erroneous messages of Sylvester’s demise had flooded social media. In 2016, a British media news site had claimed he was dead, prompting him to upload a photo of himself with Russian boxer Sergey Kovalev on Instagram.
