Fans of former Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner were stunned to learn the shocking news about the actor, but all was not as it seemed.
Fake stories about celebrities are nothing new and have been around since Marilyn Monroe.

Although Malcolm-Jamal made small appearances in television shows in 1982, The Cosby Show would prove to be a career-defining film for the actor. From 1984 to 1992, he played Theo Huxtable alongside Bill Cosby as a member of one of America’s most beloved television families.

By the mid-’90s, Warner returned to sitcoms when he joined the main cast of Malcolm & Eddie alongside the hilarious Eddie Griffin.
