A few months back, on his 93rd birthday, he attended the Tony Awards and won his third Tony Award.

A post went viral on Twitter showing James Earl Jones posing with Mark Hamill, and his Tony Award made it clear to the fans that he is alive and healthy.

People began questioning if James Earl Jones is alive after a parody website posted false news of his demise in 2015!

In 2015, a post went viral on social media about James Earl Jones passing away after a parody website on Facebook, according to an article in E-news.

A prankster created a link to the news of his rumored demise that led to a page declaring, “You got owned!” Many fans even twisted the link and posted a status message with condolences about the American actor’s demise.

But, later Jones himself took down the hoax, opening a Twitter account with a bio, “The official Twitter account for James Earl Jones, now starring in THE GIN GAME on Broadway.”
