Julian McMahon's Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano calls out fake tributes to late Aussie star: ‘Stop'
Julian McMahon's former Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano has pleaded with fans to stop using AI to mourn the loss of the beloved actor. The actress took to Instagram to beg followers to be more respectful in the wake of the Aussie star's death last week after a private battle with cancer. In an emotional post, Milano, 51, asked fans to refrain from using fabricated or AI-generated images and videos to pay tribute to the late star. 'Charmed fans/accounts! | love and appreciate you so much but please stop using Al to fabricate emotion from Julian McMahon's death,' she wrote in a post. 'It is totally unessessary (sic) when there are real moments you can use from his nearly 35 years in the public eye. And please be considerate to Julian's grieving family and friends during this difficult time.' Milano played witch Phoebe Halliwell on Charmed with McMahon playing her love interest, Cole Turner, from 2000 to 2005. Their relationship became a central storyline on the Aaron Spelling-produced series, with their characters going on to get married before Cole turned into a half-demon named Belthazor. When paying tribute to McMahon after his death, Milano said she was 'heartbroken' but will always cherish their time together on set. 'Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up – not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding,' she began in her post. 'We spent years together on Charmed – years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other. Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend. 'Losing him feels unreal. Too soon. Too unfair. Rest, my friend. I'll carry your laugh with me. Forever Cole. Forever Julian.' It was McMahon's real-life wife of 11 years, author Kelly McMahon, who shared the sad news of his passing last Thursday, aged 56. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she wrote in a statement to Deadline. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.' The actor is also survived by his only child, Madison, who he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns. Upon his death, Burns, who starred on Baywatch, reacted to the news by sharing a happy snap of 25-year-old Madison with her father.
