《老友记》David Schwimmer被传去世是乌龙 一张黑白生日照引误会
11月2日是美国演员 David Schwimmer 的60岁生日。当天，Instagram 账号 Angel Shots Please 发布了一张他的黑白照片为他庆生，帖子获得近9,000个赞，却有大批粉丝把这张黑白照误看成讣告照片，一度以为这位《老友记》明星已经去世，相关说法随后在社交平台扩散。据 Prime Timer 11月3日报道，Schwimmer 本人安然无恙，这是一场乌龙。
据 Prime Timer 报道，该账号在配文中明确写了生日祝福，此前也以同样的方式为其他名人庆生。但黑白照片的呈现方式还是让不少网友误以为是悼念帖，纷纷在评论区指责该账号「拿这种事博流量」。截至该报道发出时，Schwimmer 本人及其家人都没有就这场误传作出回应，他的家人和团队也没有发布过任何关于他去世的消息。
同在11月2日，《人物》（People）杂志刊出 Schwimmer 60岁生日专题，回顾了他与前妻 Zoë Buckman 所生女儿 Cleo 的成长照片，专题以他庆祝生日的口径行文。Schwimmer 1966年11月2日出生于纽约市皇后区，1994年至2004年间因在情景喜剧《老友记》中饰演 Ross Geller 而家喻户晓。
David Schwimmer Death Rumor Debunked: A Black-and-White Birthday Photo Sparked the Mix-Up on His 60th Birthday
November 2 was American actor David Schwimmer's 60th birthday. That day, the Instagram page Angel Shots Please posted a black-and-white photo of him as a birthday tribute. The post drew nearly 9,000 likes, but many fans mistook the black-and-white image for an obituary photo and briefly believed the Friends star had died, and the claim spread across social media. According to Prime Timer's November 3 report, Schwimmer is alive and well, and the episode was a mix-up.
According to Prime Timer, the page's caption did wish him a happy birthday, and the account has marked other celebrities' birthdays the same way. Still, the black-and-white presentation led many users to read it as a memorial post, and commenters accused the account of engagement bait. As of the report, neither Schwimmer nor his family had addressed the rumor, and no announcement of any death had come from his family or team.
Also on November 2, People magazine published a 60th-birthday feature on Schwimmer, looking back at photos of Cleo, his daughter with ex-wife Zoë Buckman, written throughout as a birthday celebration. Schwimmer was born on November 2, 1966, in Queens, New York City, and became a household name playing Ross Geller on the sitcom Friends from 1994 to 2004.
