I thought he died years ago. He was so suave and debonaire.

Hoax!!!!

News of actor Louis Jourdan’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the February 2015 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his role in Gigi is alive and well.

Didn’t see Gigi nor Octopussy but I saw him in “Texas across the River” as a pseudo gunfighter. Laughed my donkey off.
