A death hoax claiming Sylvester Stallone passed away surfaced on social media and the actor is not happy about it. "Please ignore the stupidity," the 71-year-old actor tweeted Monday. Stallone also pointed out to images insisting the star was suffering from an illness, prompting him to lose his hair. His younger brother Frank Stallone also took to social media where he slammed the hurtful gossip. Metro, a U.K.-based news site, added rumors of his passing circulated back in 2016, prompting Stallone to upload a photo of himself with Russian boxer Sergey Kovalev on Instagram.
