Director, Spike Lee has responded to a New Zealand newspaper who claimed that he was dead, as they mixed him up with Stan Lee.
The Gisborne Herald went viral after a huge typo hit the front page, claiming that the BlacKkKlansman director had died.
The newspaper placed a picture of Stan Lee on the front page, along with the title: “Characters first, superheroes next: Spike Lee dies at 95.”
The newspaper was soon seen by thousands, as it circulated on social media and eventually reached the 61-year-old, who is very much alive.

The director did not take the mistake to heart, as he posted a snap of the newspaper on Instagram and wrote: “God Bless Stan Lee. Me? Not Yet.”
“And Dat’s Da “I’m Still A Live, And Strivin'” Truth,Ruth. YA-DIG? SHO-NUFF,” he continued.
The newspaper have yet to respond to their viral mistake, as they meant to pay tribute to the legendary Stan Lee, who passed away on Monday morning.
