Daniel Radcliffe has a new title to add to his biography. Not only is he a beloved Harry Potter star and longtime actor, but he also unexpectedly became the first celebrity to become a coronavirus Twitter hoax.
Earlier this month as the coronavirus pandemic was further spreading around the world, a tweet from a fake BBC News account falsely claimed the longtime actor had tested positive for coronavirus.
While his publicist denied the claim, the tweet was ultimately up for several hours and had been liked and retweeted hundreds of times before Twitter suspended the account.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe reacted with humor. "I think it's just because I look ill all the time, so you can believably say it about me. 'Cause I'm very pale," he.
