Napoleon Dynamite Star Not Dead

image The latest celebrity death rumor going around is that Jon Heder, star of Napoleon Dynamite, died in a car accident while driving with a friend to Salem, Oregon. A website making this claim is here. People have also been speculating about this rumor on the IMDB message boards (Thanks to Ana for the link). Jon Heder, of course, is not dead (unless that person who looks like him and has been making media appearances is just an imposter). Michael Heaton, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, noted in a recent column that he had heard the 'Heder is Dead' rumor from his daughter. Which prompted him to comment that "It is the zenith of cultural obsession to have false rumors of someone's death spread like goose grease across the land."

Rex: At Rex Kwan Do, we use the buddy system. No more flying solo. You need somebody watching your back at all times. Second off, you're gonna learn to discipline your image. You think I got where I am today because I dressed like Peter Pan over here?
[points to Napoleon]
Rex: Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it. Last off, my students will learn about self respect. You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!

yeah so i was sitting there in math class, when suddenly i overheard some people chatting it up about Napoleon dynamite, and i smiled to myself in personal happiness of the greatness of Napoleon dynamite.Then i realized that one of them mentioned that Napoleon died from overdosing on cocaine!! INSANENESS! right away i knew it couldnt possibly be true, because if he had, then the earth would shake and ligtning would strike and volcanoes would erupt. so, therefore, in conclusion, Napoleon Dynamite is not dead.

Jon Heder is certainly dead. He died in a five-way car crash among Paul Mcartney, the ghost Elvis, John Goodman, and Louie Anderson. Next time check the facts, it's all there.

Allright. The myth of Jon Heder's death, I'd heard last night from a bunch of drunk friends. I didn't believe what I was hearing because first of all, even though on that NinjaPirate site it said his parents were trying to keep it from the media. The media would have gotten ahold of that story really quick. American media thrives on this type of thing, so as soon as it happened. About an hour later, a reporter listening in on police radio would check out the scene, realize it was Jon Heder, and then report it recieving a substantial amount of money. Therefore it'd be all over. However the only source it was heard from was this website. Secondly, if the publisher of this website wanted to be taken seriously, he would not have included the little cartoons of the deer in the background and not photoshopped Heder's picture on top of the wrecked car. This to me is completely illegitimate, and phony. And I'm hoping by typing this response, it will allow many others to see this. The evidence to back up the claim of Heder's death is non existent. Another reason not to believe is that he is currently working on other films. If you check out http://www.imdb.com and search Jon Heder, you will see this.

Hope this clears everything up.

Posted by Douche Nugget  on  Mon Feb 21, 2005  at  06:39 PM
Everyone. Stop doing friggin impressions of me, goosh. I am not dead. and Tina did not run out in front of my car. She is actually my llama. That fat lard is at my house right now. And whoever started that rumor about me dying is obviously someone that did not like my movie and wanted people to shut up about it. But if you are going to do impressions of me, then get them right.

he's not dead. the media definitely would have caught on to that story. And will everyone please stop quoting the movie. Yes we've all seen it and know the lines. It is a funny movie, so stop wearing it out.
Posted by CHEESEMAN  on  Mon Feb 21, 2005  at  07:06 PM
that site that says jon heder died makes it seem like a joke...so i seriously dont believe that he is dead....but it would be great if he wasnt dead that he would come out and give an interview or something...so yeah....but at the same time there's that part of me that's like well how can we really be sure....but im SERIOUSLY hoping he's NOT dead....because if he was i would be like GOSH!
Posted by ally  on  Mon Feb 21, 2005  at  08:11 PM
I freaking wish he would die, then maybe fools would stop quoting Napoleon Dynamite lines..I'm sick of hearing them.

First of all, the responses sound as though they are all coming from fifteen year old children. Found it strange that more mature people find satisfaction in the same type of movie. I'm sure we all see it differently. Secondly, deer (as in the animal) is spelled d-e-e-r. Not d-e-a-r! The youth of america needs to educate themselves. They are the friggin' idiots.

hey guys, get a life. whether or not he's dead doesnt matter. is he related to you? no stay out of his life. just because you saw him in a movie doesnt mean he's your friend or even gives a crap about you, he doesnt know any of you or even think about you. he has real friends, poeple that he'd actually talk to, maybe thats why he wont come out and prove he's still alive, cuz he just doesnt care about you all, why should he? and just another bit of info, napoleon dynomite isnt original for 'ligers', they are real animals, but they dont really look like what he drew. look them up on google.com image search. it makes since, if you can breed any kind of dog, why not be able to breed any kind of feline, like a lion and a tiger.

I really think that he's dead! It was even in the newspaper! Oh yea....Curtis learn how to spell people! poeple? uh..your cool!

I'm turning comments off on this thread, because I think that just about everything interesting that could be said about this topic has now been said.
