Ray Stevenson Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actor Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Sunday (May 21) the actor's reps officially confirmed that Ray Stevenson is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Edit;

Now that Magnar's post has been edited with all those additional reports it seems it's true

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh no. I remember him from the Marvel movies.

 

[Deck Rickard]

****. Loved him in many things, but especially in the highly underrated show Black Sails. He was the best Blackbeard ever. Amazing actor. Really looking forward to seeing him in Ahsoka but it will feel truly bittersweet now.

 

[Slick]

Man this sucks. I know a lot of people hate on Punisher War Zone but I loved it and thought he made a great Frank Castle. Also enjoyed him in his small MCU roles. Wow it just all sucks but I am looking forward to seeing him in what will be his final role in Ashoka.

RIP Ray Stevenson.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Damn man this death is just as shocking to me as Lance Reddick's which was pretty devastating. I know people were never big on him as The Punisher, but I've always loved the guy, especially in stuff like Rome.

Such an underrated talent and he will be sorely missed.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

And only 58, too? Wow. No doubt Ahsoka will have a touching tribute for him.

 

[Pennywise]

Damn, I always loved Ray in everything I saw him in whether Dexter, Punisher War Zone, Thor, Vikings and so on.

RIP

 

[Frodo]

RIP , Mr. Stevenson

 

[flickchick85]

Oh man, this is such a shock. I've adored him since Rome. He always brought such an awesome presence to any role he played. RIP.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

He was only 58. WAY too young.



RIP Mr. Stevenson

I take it whoever wrote this article never saw Punisher: War Zone. Because they're calling it a "PG-13 reboot of the series".

 

[Drizzle]

Really sad and distressing news about Ray Stevenson. He was great in everything I saw him in from Rome to Punisher: War Zone to the Thor movies. RIP

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Really sad.
RIP Ray Stevenson.

RIP to a legend.

R.I.P. to a legend.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Hurts me to my soul. Truly the end of an era, but her legacy and her timeless music will live on.

Rest in Peace to the Queen.

RIP Tina.

 

[Mysteryman]

Tina,
Rest In Holy Peace.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Rest in Peace to a legend and an icon, Tina Turner.

Damn. This is a tough year.

 

[squeekness]

RIP to a legend.

Oh, no! I just rewatched that really grateful documentary on HBO about her.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Have to share this, just so people can see the blueprint she made:



Tina Turner paved for Beyonce and many of the entertainers that we have today. Made up all of her steps by herself! That’s real talent.

Simply the best.

 

[Frodo]

Wow.
One of my earliest memories was seeing the new Tina Turner video What's Love Got To Do with It, on MTV .

As a child of the 80s, you couldn't have gone through that decade and not heard of Tina Turner or her songs.

She was also great in Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome.
It's too bad she didn't do more acting roles, cause she had a talent for it.

RIP Tina, and thank you for the music.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Absolute legend. The world is a poorer place today. Rest in peace, Tina.
