Kurt Russell, a legendary actor who’s been a major part of Hollywood since the 1960s, is often so iconic that we might sometimes take him for granted. From working with Elvis Presley and playing him in a TV miniseries to being John Carpenter’s muse in the 1980s and portraying Mr. Nobody in the Fast and Furious series, Russell has proven his versatility across decades.
Is Kurt Russell’s face being eaten by flesh-eating bacteria?
Recently, Russell fell victim to a death hoax. In August 2023, false reports circulated online claiming he had passed away under mysterious circumstances. The rumors were fueled by a misleading YouTube video that used AI narration to incorrectly refer to him as a “late actor.” Fortunately, the video and the associated account have been removed, and there were no concrete details supporting the claim.
As of now, Kurt Russell is very much alive at 73 years old. He continues to stay active, recently starring in the sci-fi series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, voicing Papa Smurf in The Smurfs Movie, and set to appear in the crime drama The Rivals of Amziah King alongside Matthew McConaughey.
Moreover, in July 2024, more false rumors emerged about his health, including claims that he was hospitalized and in serious condition, and even bizarre allegations that he was suffering from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a rare genetic disorder. These claims are entirely unfounded, and there’s no evidence to suggest Russell has PJS or any serious health issues.
So, rest assured, Kurt Russell is healthy and still going strong—until he says otherwise.
