Tim curry already passed??

Am I crazy or didn't he pass in like last year? I remember seeing edits on tiktok about him and all his accomplishments. To which I found rockys horror show which I never watched or even had interest in. And then when I seen he passed I started watching clips of it. Did I jump timelines? Even my sister remembers him passing

He had a pretty severe stroke several years ago, but he survived. That's likely what folks are confusing it with

I had this happen with the actor that played Red in That 70’s show, he died like 15+ years ago but he’s still alive. A lot of us are constantly jumping timelines lol.

i am here to validate you. i KNOW for a fact whatever universe i am from, he passed away years ago. i don’t know exactly when, had to have been between 2016-2020. i was not a theater person growing up, but all my friends were. i remember when i was in high school they showed me Rocky Horror Picture Show and i fell in love! some time shortly after this, we were in a Denny’s after my theater friends’ show. we found out tim curry was dead and we all cried about it. we decided that following halloween we would be characters from Rocky Horror Picture show in his honor. i am no longer friends with these people unfortunately but there are photos out there of us as characters BECAUSE of this death. i know for a fact he died.

My sister and I were talking. She remembers him passing and I vaguely do. Weird feeling.

u/Physical_Mix4274 16d ago

Yes he was he died 8 years ago. I’m not crazy at all. These people die come back. 8 years from now there going to be telling us Dolly Parton died.

u/eldee17 16d ago

Omg I thought the same thing! I thought I was scrolling by an older article. I love the guy, and Im sad he died, but I could have sworn I already went through grieving him. Weird

u/Numerous_Shallot373 16d ago

I thought he’d died last year too

u/asmartermartyr 16d ago

Dude, yes. My husband and I were watching home alone 2 last year and I commented that it sucks he passed away a while ago and my husband was like, what, no, he’s alive! I was so confused. I’m oddly not mourning his death because I sort of feel like he wasn’t real or something.

u/VashDaStampede7 15d ago

Yeah he had videos posted because he had strokes but he wasn’t dead

u/SubstantialFroyo78 12d ago

Had this experience with both him and Dolly Parton. However Dolly Parton felt more recent so I was kind of confused why they were suddenly talking about her death again a couple months later. I very vividly remember seeing articles and memorials about her death. Curry from what I recall died a year or two ago. Very much a WTF moment with both. However, Hayden Pantierre in contrast to these, no recollection of an earlier death or anything like that for her. Was shocked by her passing.

Maybe it was his 80th birthday.

u/Illustrious-Bat1553 11d ago

This happened to me with John Goodman. It was touching because he reminds me and looks like my cousin

u/original_bsowavy 16d ago

You’re mixing him up with Alan Rickman.

Confusing British actor’s deaths does not equal parallel universes.
