While grappling with his ugly divorce with wife Angeline Jolie, Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is also the latest victim of a death hoax similar to what hit Sylvester Stallone in September and a nude photo leak as well.

TMZ reported that the death hoax was based on a fake Fox breaking news story that the embattled actor died. Posted on Facebook, it is actually a click bait for hackers to gain the password and other details of curious netizens who would click the fake story amid high interest on the couple’s marital problem.

The entertainment website suggested for Facebook users who fell for the ruse to change their passwords immediately and run a malware software scanner on their computers.

Besides the death hoax, there are multiple reports in various websites that someone is reportedly peddling nude photos of the 52-year-old actor. Some of the reports point to Jolie as behind the offer of the images as part of an alleged smear campaign against Pitt so she could get full custody of their six children.

When Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, she allegedly accused the actor of drug and alcohol abuse and being violent toward their children.

The selling of nude photos is quite confusing because Pitt has appeared nude in several of his movies and Playgirl too. These hot images, however, are available on the internet for free, unless what is being offered are never-before seen images of the actor au naturel.
