He's not dead, he's 88 years old
I read this on the Internet ( translated by Google ) :
" The false news of the death of the actor famous for his roles in L'As des as, Le Professionnel or Le Magnifique, announced on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, caused an unprecedented media boom. Don't panic, at 88 years old Jean-Paul Belmondo is still alive and well.
Fix 6/09/2021: It seems that this rumor is unfounded. (find out more)
Since Sunday (September 5), a rumor launched on Twitter, concerning a potential death of Jean-Paul Belmondo, ignites the social network.
Global rumor, the Twitter effect
The Twitter network peddles all kinds of information, both real and false. The most harmless as well as the most terrible. Thus many personalities have already been the object of false rumors of death spreading on the Internet like wildfire. Yesterday it was the turn of French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo to be buried by a funeral tweet.
It all started with the message: “Jean-Paul Belmondo has just left us. RIP. », Posted on the microblogging site on Sunday September 5th around 2pm. The rumor immediately ignites the Web. New tweet an hour later: "Death of Jean-Paul Belmondo, relatives of the actor confirm". To amplify the announcement effect, this last tweet is accompanied by a link to the Necropedia site (which nevertheless specifies that Jean-Paul Belmondo is not dead).
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (69%) of respondents think those Jean-Paul Belmondo death rumors are not funny anymore.
The entourage would have "formally denied" the death of the actor
The false information is then picked up by a few radio stations and then by media all over the world. It was only late in the evening of Sunday that the spokesperson for the actor would have split a laconic press release which “formally denies the death of Jean-Paul Belmondo”.
The fans are reassured. Twitter is a quick information tool, but we have to be more and more vigilant. "
