Is Morgan Freeman Dead?

Morgan Freeman may have played God on the big screen. But did he just meet his maker? And did he actually do an audio rendition of "Fifty Shades of Grey" before he kicked the bucket?

Word spread like wildfire last week  that the 75-year-old acting legend had suddenly passed away, thanks to a Facebook page that's so far garnered 66,000 likes. At the same time, a YouTube video surfaced last Sunday purportingly featuring Freeman narrating some naughty selections from E.L. James bondage-themed best-seller.

Well, E! News has looked into these rumors and can definitely say the answer is...

So false!

"Morgan is alive and well, and joins the long list of actors who have been victimized by this hoax," a rep for Freeman tells us.

This isn't the first time the thesp has been killed off by the Internet. Two years ago, the Twitterverse lit up with rumors of his premature demise, which obviously turned out to be false.
