The multiple reports stating that Jeff Goldblum died today in a tragic fall while filming a movie in New Zealand are 100% false.
Having been online for longer than we’d like to admit, we caught this story as a fake immediately — because it’s originally from at least 2006.
While the story has remained the same throughout the years, the actors names have varied. Last time, it was Tom Cruise. This time, it’s Jeff Goldblum. In six months, it’ll be Zac Efron.
Here’s the original hoax from November ‘06, as detailed by Snopes:
Actor - Tom Hanks Falls To His Death In New Zealand THIS STORY IS STILL DEVELOPING…
Actor Tom Hanks died while filming a movie in New Zealand early this morning - November 16, 2006.
Preliminary reports from NZ Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set. Specific details are not yet available.
The accident occured at approximately 4:30 a.m.(UTC/GMT +12) Additional details and information will be forthcoming.
New Zealand, in recent years has grown in populariaty as a backdrop for Hollywood producers because of it’s scenic and rugged landscape.
Recent movies filmed in NZ include The Lord Of the Rings, King Kong, and The Chronicles Of Narnia.
