May 29, (THAINDIAN NEWS) With the news of the death of Gary Coleman spreading over the internet like wildfire, it is the turn of yet another rumor to be doing the rounds of the internet. Certain rumor mongers on the internet claim that Todd Bridges too has passed away. However, all fans of the star of the “Diff’rnt Strokes” series can rest assured, for Todd Bridges is quite hale and hearty at present, being the only one to be so among the three member cast of the wildly popular sitcom. Two of the other members are already dead, Gary Coleman being the second one.

Rumors of Tod Bridges’ death seems to be spreading over the internet based on the fact that out of the three members of the cast of “Diff’rent Strokes”, two have passed away, and Todd Bridges is the only one to be alive still. No wonder the entire scenario seems like some sort of a curse inflicted on the cast of the popular sitcom. In Diff’rent Strokes, Todd Bridges essayed the role of Wilie Drummond, the elder of the two kids adopted by the family.

However, it can be very safely said that Todd Bridges himself is, very much, alive. In fact, just a few days back, he had arrived in one of the episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show, where he spoke about his drug addiction and his run-ins with the law. However, if that is not good enough a proof that Todd Bridges’ is alive, then the fact that he spoke on the sad demise of his co-star, that is, Gary Coleman, should be proof enough.
