Is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson really gone? The internet is rife with rumors of the actor's demise, but thankfully, reports of his death are greatly exaggerated, a recurring and tiresome trend targeting celebrities.

These false reports, often disguised as legitimate news articles from reputable sources like the BBC, are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes designed to spread misinformation and, in some cases, even trick users into downloading malware or completing surveys through clickjacking scams. One particularly persistent hoax, circulated as recently as May 2025, claimed Johnson died in a stunt gone wrong, echoing similar false reports from November 2019 and even as far back as 2014. These claims are entirely baseless. The actor is very much alive and continuing his work.
