Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has been cleared of a wild rumor that claimed he and his family were killed in an Iranian airstrike on Israel.
A source close to the director-writer has refuted the claim, stating that Tarantino is 'alive and well, and his family is all good too.'
The rumor started on X (formerly Twitter) after an Iranian airstrike on Israel, which was seen as retaliation for the US and Israel's attack on Iran last week.
Photos and videos showing Tarantino in a bomb shelter were debunked as AI-generated or fake, and many such posts have been flagged as manipulated and fake by Grok, Twitter's resident AI chatbot.
Tarantino, 62, is one of the most acclaimed Hollywood filmmakers of his generation, known for cult classics like Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, and Inglourious Basterds.
