Social media pages have been running unverified news of Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino being killed in Israel due to Iranian airstrikes. The fake news circulation gave rise to a death hoax of the Kill Bill director as tensions continue to escalate in the region. However, refuting all reports, sources close to the filmmaker have confirmed that he is "alive and well".
However, the publication quickly clarified that the reports are untrue. Quoting a source close to the publication reported, “Quentin is alive and well, and his family is all good too.” The publication also cautioned that photos of Tarantino seeking shelter in bomb bunkers are AI-generated and manipulated. Quentin Tarantino and members of his family are yet to publicly react to the news.
