Hollywood actor Tom Cruise laughs off Internet reports that he died in a plumbing accident, assuring fans he’s “alive and well”.
Rumours started on Friday claiming that the Mission: Impossible star had passed away following a bizarre plumbing mishap while in New Zealand.
But the actor is taking the hoax in good humour, admitting he was amused by the odd manner in which he was “killed”, contactmusic reports.
When asked about it, he said: “I’m really alive. Did the Internet get it wrong again? You can send the message out (I am still alive).” Online pranksters have targeted a number of stars in false death stories, including Britney Spears, Jeff Goldblum and Kanye West.

Lampoons Pattinson
London: Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise stepped back into the shoes of his Tropic Thunder alter-ego Les Grossman to poke fun at Robert Pattinson in a spoof video.
Pattinson recently admitted he rarely washes his hair, and it proved good fodder for a new promotional clip for the MTV Movie Awards.
Cruise starring as the foul-mouthed movie mogul, issued some rather colourful advice to Pattinson, who begins the clip by discussing his plans to overhaul his scruffy look for the awards, reported the Daily Mail online. —PTI
