Former Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan has confirmed he is very much alive after a bizarre rumour that he had died spread online.
Mr Cowan, who quit the show in 2017, laughed off the rumours of his supposed demise. "I’m probably dead to a lot of people and there’s a few more people that wish I was actually dead but I’m very much alive in case they bump into me in town over New Year,” he told the Irish Sun.
The 63-year-old said his friends told him people online were discussing his death. “Apparently there’s a Mrs Brown fan site on Facebook,” he explained. “One person new to the show asked: 'What happened to the original Rory', and a few people replied that I was dead. They thought that I was dead...it’s amazing how rumours start and people believe them. But I’m not dead...Rory is alive.”
