Thankfully, Hanks is still alive:
Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sofia Vergara and Robert Pattinson were among dozens of stars who appeared Friday on the third Stand Up to Cancer telethon.
“Let’s build a world where cancer is no more,” a somber Hanks said on the hour-long program that was carried commercial-free by the major broadcast networks and a number of cable channels.
It isn’t the first time Hanks was rumored to have died.
RIP Tom Hanks death hoaxes.
