FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post we found a number of reasons to prove that the above post is FAKE.
Firstly, the man in the picture is Robert Downey Jr. who plays the role of Tony Stark A.K.A The Iron Man who is a Marvel Superhero and certainly Robert Downey Jr. is not suffering from any heart disease.
Further, the metal device is the part of his costume for Iron Man. As you can see in the picture below, his body is just like a normal human and there is no metal device attached to his chest.
Moreover, Facebook does not pay needy ones in return of shares.
Hence, it is very much clear that the above claim is FAKE.
