Meanwhile, this is not the first occasion in which Leon Schuster has had to debunk rumours of his demise. In 2012 and 2014, false reports were widely spread through the Blackberry messenger service (BBM). In 2017, a similar message claiming Schuster’s death in a car accident rapidly circulated on WhatsApp. In 2021, the actor had to once again dispel the tragic news of his passing.
Expressing the emotional toll such hoaxes take, Schuster shared,
“Can you imagine how your heart would feel if they said it to you? It’s not a nice thing to hear. The word ‘death’ doesn’t sit well with me. It’s a blatant infringement of a person’s humanity; I also have a heart and soul, and I also get flippen hurt.”
