John Travolta’s ‘Gotti’ Costar Dead at 33: ‘You Lived a Life Only Some Could Dream Of’
Spencer Lofranco, who played John Travolta’s son in 2018’s Gotti, has passed away on Tuesday, November 18, his brother confirmed on Instagram.
“To the legend. My brother. You lived a life only some could dream of,” Santino Lofranco wrote on Instagram on Thursday, November 20, along with a series of photos from the young actor’s life. “You changed people lives, and now you are with God. I will always love you and miss you Bear. RIP.”
He did not reveal a cause of death.
The Canadian-born actor, who also starred in Jamesy Boy and Unbroken, stopped acting in 2018.
He had reportedly been working as a graffiti artist under the name Fire and lived on the beach in Venice, California, according to an interview he gave for a YouTuber, which was posted a week after Gotti was released in theaters.
“I’m getting my face tattoo burned out so subscribe to my only fans. Period the best is yet to come. The hair is on it way it’s got held up customs. Crazy,” he wrote in his final Instagram post on November 11, eliciting concern from his followers.
In the comments, one asked, “Anyone seen/heard from him in like 4 days?” while others said he hadn’t responded to texts or calls.
