Gabourey Sidibe was at the center of some fake news when a report said she died in March.
“A scene for an upcoming movie . . . required me to run,” the “Empire” star jokes in her new book of the hoax.
“I guess my big fat heart could not take it! I should’ve known better than to be fat and run at the same time. There is no date or location in the article, so it’s unclear when and where I died.”
Her memoir “This Is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare” came out Monday from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
