According to Cracked, the concept of clones being a punchline for hacky comedians has taken a bizarre turn, with certain corners of the Internet now embracing it as a genuine belief. Fans of various comedians are convinced that their favorite comics have been replaced by duplicates, and what was once a joke has now become a rallying cry for some conspiracy theorists.
One comedian who got entangled in the clone rumor mill is the handsome Jamie Foxx. After his recent illness, Foxx reassured fans of his recovery on social media. However, the toll the hospitalization took on him left him looking noticeably thinner, which led some on the Internet to speculate that Foxx might have passed away and been replaced with a malnourished clone. Thankfully, rapper and actor Ice-T was quick to dismiss such claims, and Foxx himself confirmed that he is indeed a living human being. The confusion might have been fueled further by Foxx’s involvement in the Netflix show “They Cloned Tyrone.”
Another comedian who faced similar rumors is Kevin Hart. In 2019, he was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in back surgery and left him temporarily unable to walk. During an interview with Men’s Health, Hart used the term “resurrection” to describe his post-recovery state, which intrigued conspiracy theorists. They interpreted his words to mean that he had been replaced with a new version of himself, a clone. Hart’s playful responses in subsequent interviews, where he jokingly claimed to have three clones, added more fuel to the fire of speculation.
While Hart’s claims of having clones were clearly humorous and not to be taken seriously, the internet had already begun weaving intricate theories about comedian clones. Despite the outlandish nature of these beliefs, some fans have embraced the concept wholeheartedly.
