Gene Hackman, the acclaimed actor who passed away in February 2025, did not have an X account with the handle @realGeneHackman.

There is no evidence that this account ever existed on the platform. Posts on X and other sources suggest that claims of Hackman having such an account are likely false or part of a hoax, a common occurrence following the death of prominent figures. Hackman, who was 95 at the time of his death and had been retired from acting since 2004, lived a private life in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife Betsy Arakawa, and was not known to be active on social media. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that he maintained an X account under that handle or any other.

I'll take this one down.

Not sure of it's veracity.

Pretty sure his post was hacked. Coroner said he had died on 17th February. However, he definitely knew things, that's why he gave it all up at the height of his career.
