Anthony Stewart Head is NOT dead (Mandela Effect)?

DH and I would have sworn blind that A.S.H (Giles from Buffy) died 5-or-so years ago... We were 100% sure.

Turns out. Totally alive.

The thing is, we both remember details of articles and online threads about how sad his death was...

Did anyone else think the same?

Nope, definitely knew he was still alive.

Loubylooooo · 27/03/2022 19:07

Nope

BlueRabbitWasNaughty · 27/03/2022 19:08

He's in the new series of Bridgerton on Netflix

Cbes · 27/03/2022 19:08

I think I remember him being in the news about 5 years ago. Not necessarily about his death though.

Marmite27 · 27/03/2022 19:08

No, he’s definitely not dead.

This is how I found out he was alive! I was like... Wait... But he's... Dead? Which is when DH and I discussed, at some length the Reddit threads we'd read about how it was a sad and untimely death, and that he was a general 'good guy' and sad loss etc...

So strange!

Were you maybe confusing him with AA Gill?
They look slightly similar...

SpringLobelia · 27/03/2022 19:12

Considering I have been of late been having sexy dreams about him, I am quite glad.

Coughee · 27/03/2022 19:14

Another no sorry. Never thought he was dead.

Mindtheears · 27/03/2022 19:22

He’s in Ted Lassi as well so if he’s actually dead he’d better watch out in case Buffy is after him 🧛‍♀️

Mindtheears · 27/03/2022 19:23

Lasso…

BeanyBops · 27/03/2022 19:26

I thought he was dead!

ComDummings · 27/03/2022 19:26

No

ForeverLooking · 27/03/2022 19:27

Not heard that one!

OverByYer · 27/03/2022 19:29

Why would you think he’s died? Never been anything to southeast such a thing

TheSpottedZebra · 27/03/2022 19:30

MNers seem to be constantly encountering him at stations and then reporting just how nice he is, so am sure MN would also be on top of any death rumours.

Chikapu · 27/03/2022 19:30

He was in The Stranger on Netflix a couple of years ago, if he's dead then he's the freshest looking corpse I've ever seen!

Sparklingbrook · 27/03/2022 19:31

I have no idea why anyone would think he was dead. Confused

GretaGip · 27/03/2022 19:31

That's him. Gold Blend, and Buffy.

Herc is not dead!

Endofdaysarehere · 27/03/2022 19:47

I love Herc!

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 27/03/2022 19:49

No, I didn’t think he was dead but I was convinced Willem Dafoe was… was shocked when I saw him pop up in the latest Spider-Man film! 😄 no idea why i thought that, by the way…
