At the moment there is an alleged selfie circulating that shows Jim Morrison, Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix together. Fake or real?

Can't get more cool in a photo?

you may think you're cool-but you'll never be as cool as Bruce Lee and Jim Morrison chilling -while Jimi Hendrix snaps a selfie in 1969 cool

The fact check

As our colleagues at Snopes report, this is a fake .

The “selfie” was composed of at least three separate photos. According to Snopes, the base photo (Jim Morrison) for this digital montage was taken by Gloria Stavers, the editor-in-chief of 16magazine in the late 1960s.

However, the exact source could not be determined, but similar images of Morrison on the same couch and in the same outfit could be found on various auction sites , where they are attributed to Stavers

It is not clear where the photos of Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix come from. What is clear, however, is that they did not eat on a couch with Jim Morrison.
