Other celebrity conspiracy theories<\/h2>\n

Carrey isn\u2019t the only star to have these sort of theories spreading about him – but again there is no real evidence that any of them are true.<\/p>\n

One about noughties pop-punk star Avril Lavigne claimed that the \u201creal\u201d Avril died after the release of her 2002 debut album, ‘Let Go’, and was replaced by a lookalike named Melissa. Avril herself has responded to the theories, telling an Australian radio station that she thought rumours of her replacement were “weird”.<\/p>\n

Paul McCartney has also faced speculation that he died and was replaced by a lookalike, while some fans of nineties rapper Tupac have claimed that he faked his own death in 1996.<\/p>\n
