What a fucked up way for me to find out..that Hayden Panettiere was actually 80 ๐Ÿ˜›

Seriously, though, this one caught me by surprise for sure!

She was only 36 and, from what little I'd seen of her, she appeared exceptionally wholesome, healthy, and happy as far as I could tell. Reading her Wikipedia after the fact, it turns out I couldn't be much more wrong โ˜น๏ธ

Again, I'm not sure what has you all convinced that the rule of three for celebrity deaths has anything to do with age - it's just about celebrity.

At any rate, yes Hayden's death was particularly surprising - but these things happen. Life is a fleeting thing.

I wasn't agreeing to that (highly specious) hypothesis, just found it funny to pretend that anyone could have mistaken Panettiere for an octogenarian ๐Ÿ˜

Correct.
