  • On Jan. 4, 2021, the Madhouse Magazine website published a story that said film actress Daryl Hannah was pregnant at age 60 with what would be her first child. She married musician Neil Young in 2018. He was 75 years at the time the website published this headline: Neil Young and Daryl Hannah Expecting Their First Child Together. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that labeled its stories as being satirical in nature. According to the satirical story, Hannah became pregnant at age 60 and made the announcement on social media: Several months later, several Twitter users spread the satirical story and described Hannah as becoming pregnant at age 61, not 60, around the time of her birthday, Dec. 3. This reference to John F. Kennedy Jr. was about QAnon conspiracy theory supporters who really did believe he was going to come back from the dead. Of course, that was not the case. (Hannah and Kennedy Jr. previously dated before he died in a plane crash in 1999.) A snippet from the Madhouse Magazine story was also shared as a screenshot: In the snippet, it said: The satirical story spread well beyond its Madhouse Magazine origins, including in a Sept. 13, 2021, article on heightzone.com. The headline read: Daryl Hannah Is Pregnant at the Age of 60 with Husband Neil Young, Couple Expecting a Baby Boy! We stumbled upon similar stories on celebsaga.com and mixedarticle.com. We also found the purported news reposted a seemingly endless number of times on Facebook: In sum, the story about Hannah becoming pregnant was labeled as satire but later spread well beyond its origins. For this reason, we have rated this claim as Originated As Satire. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor. (en)
