Clark Gable III, the grandson of Hollywood legend Clark Gable has died at the age of 30 after being found unresponsive by his fiancee, according to his family members.
Gable, who started modeling at the age of five, was an actor, and also the host of the “Cheaters ”reality TV series.
He is the only grandson of renowned actor Clark Gable who is sometimes referred to as the “King of Hollywood” after starring classics such as “Gone With the Wind,” and “Mutiny on the Bounty.”
She said she discovered her son was dead on Friday morning when his fiancée called hysterically.
“His girlfriend, who he’s been living with for six years, was the one that found him unconscious. I’m still in shock.”
“Acting in films —It’s in my blood, and I really want to do it just like my grandfather,“ he wrote on his website. ”But I don’t want to be compared to him in any way because I am different. I just happen to be born into these great circumstances, so I feel it gives me a great opportunity for what I want to do.”
But Gable is perhaps best known for hosting reality show “Cheaters” in Seasons 13 and 14.
His mother described him as an “amazing, very compassionate, sensitive guy,” who had been overjoyed to be a father to his 18-month-old daughter, Shore.
“He really just wanted to be a dad to his daughter, so much,” Scheff said. “When his girlfriend got pregnant, there was nothing more important for him than being there for the birth of his daughter. That’s all that mattered to him.”
According to Variety, Gable was filming the crime drama “Sunset at Dawn” before his death.
