Will Forte Details Regret Over Fake Death Prank

Will Forte recently recounted a traumatic prank he played at age 14, when he faked his own death to scare his mother by leaving a fake suicide note and lying on the bathroom floor. The incident caused intense distress for his mother, prompting Forte to immediately confess it was a joke and deeply regret his actions. Forte described it as 'the worst thing' he ever did and emphasized the lesson he learned about the boundaries of comedy.

Despite the childhood mistake, Forte maintains a close relationship with his mother, and the experience has influenced his commitment to more mindful humor.
