Actor Alec Musser Passes Away Unexpectedly At 50: ‘A Very Healthy person’
The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Alec Musser, the versatile actor and model who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 50. Musser, best known for his role in the popular soap opera “All My Children” and the comedy film “Grown Ups,” died at his home in Del Mar, California on Friday.
Musser’s fiancée, Paige Press, revealed that he had been suffering from a severe case of COVID-19, despite being vaccinated and boosted. She suspected that the virus contributed to his untimely death. An autopsy is expected to be conducted to confirm the cause. Musser’s passing has left his family, friends, and fans in shock, as he was known for his exceptional care of his body and health.
“He was a very healthy person,” Press said. “I mean he took exceptional care of his body and what went into it … He’d eat some cookies and that was the worst thing I ever saw him do.”
Press described Musser, her fiancé of just over a year, with heartfelt words. “Alec was a wonderful man. He was the best fiancé. The best dog dad. Very kind-hearted person,” she said. The outpouring of messages from those who knew him, even from his childhood, has been overwhelming for Press.
“Seeing how many messages and people have reached out to me from his childhood…In the last couple of days, people I’ve never even met, sending me photos of him from high school and when he was in their wedding…He was so loved and touched by so many people,” she shared, reflecting on the profound impact Musser had on many lives.
Musser’s career in entertainment was marked by his memorable roles and his charming presence. He gained fame through his portrayal of Del Henry in “All My Children,” a role he won after triumphing in the second season of SOAPnet’s “I Wanna Be a Soap Star.”
His performance in “Grown Ups,” alongside Adam Sandler, also garnered him significant attention. Sandler, deeply saddened by the news, paid tribute to Musser, describing him as a “wonderful, funny good man” and a “true great sweetheart of a person.”
