In Memoriam: Anthony Head Trend Has Fans Shocked He's Alive and Well, Joking 'Buffymancers' Are Just Now Checking In
A surge of 'RIP Anthony Head' and 'Anthony Head death' hashtags has sent the internet into a panic, only for Giles-lovers to realize the 'Buffy' star, who has been trending over a viral clip of him dramatically sipping tea, is very much alive. "We were so ready to hold a prayer circle for Giles that we forgot to check the year," one user wrote. The confusion has spawned a new sub-genre of 'Buffy' edits, where fans mourn his fictional death in the show while he posts new selfies. The hashtag #AnthonyHeadLives is now trending, with fans joking they've never been happier to be wrong about a celebrity death hoax that was, ironically, started by a bot misreading a 'Spooks' rerun.
