The actor took to social media to make fans aware that he was just fine. “Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to a beautiful day in Michigan only to find out I’m dead?! How did it happen? Can anyone tell me? I’m DYING to know.. #DeadManWalking” he tweets out to fans.

Of course, when people start trending, it typically brings up parts of their past, and they continue to trend. Reports say that Allen’s participation in a 1978 drug trafficking scheme was mentioned on Twitter in addition to being arrested for possession of more than 650 grams of cocaine. He was released on parole in 1981 after serving two years in the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota. So, he’s definitely worth the talk online! So, needless to say, he just kept trending beyond the death hoax.

How fans reacted

“I saw Tim Allen was trending and clicked on it to see why- only to discover that the majority of the tweets were asking why Tim Allen is trending. So basically Tim Allen is trending because Tim Allen is trending. And that’s Twitter in a nutshell,”  one fan tweets as a result of the trend.

Another says, “Get on Twitter. See Tim Allen trending. Check tweets. It’s only tweeted asking why Tim Allen is trending. I believe the simulation is broken and Twitter is actually cannibalizing itself as we speak.” Sounds about right.

Allen followed up on his tweet by saying, “Ok, I figured it out. Some nosey neighbor saw what I was having for lunch and ‘figured’ I was going to die.” He included a photo of hotdogs. Leave it to Tim Allen to turn a Twitter trending scare into a comedic moment!
