  • Hugh Hefner, 90, made an appearance on his 30-year-old wife Crystal's Snapchat account on Sunday night
  • The Playboy founder appeared in a video and still image looking happy and healthy
  • He later tweeted it was movie night and the couple was watching 'La La Land'  
  • A September report claimed he was in poor health, which he later shot down

Hugh Hefner proved once again that he is not in failing health by popping up in a Snapchat video posted by his wife Crystal. 

The Playboy founder showed up twice on Sunday, first appearing alongside his wife in a video using Snapchat's popular dog filter that gave him puppy ears and a long tongue.

He then later appeared in a still image of the two with their dog that stated they were in Westwood, which is the location of the Playboy Mansion.

And Sunday night he even took to his Twitter account to reveal the pair was enjoying a movie date, writing: 'Tonight's Mansion movie is 'La La Land.' 

He also tweeted over the weekend that he and Crystal, 30, had been watching Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep.

Reports emerged in September that Hefner was in poor health, which caused 90-year-old to lash out, saying: 'I wish the tabloids had informed me a little earlier in the week that I'm sick. I might have cancelled my weekend plans.' 

He had not been seen in public since May at the time, but recently appeared in a Thanksgiving photo shared by his son Cooper and then again Saturday and Sunday night in photos.

In October, former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett admitted she worries about Hefner's health 'every day' in an interview with E! News.

She said: 'Hef and I talked and saw each other actually a couple weeks ago.

'I'm not a medical person or any of that stuff...honestly he was there and we had a great talk and we were very happy to see each other.'

And iconic former Playmate Pamela Anderson recently admitted she finds it hard to see her pal these days because he is so frail.

She said in an interview with Dazed: 'I remember when I first met him. He walked into the room and stole the show. It was beyond rock-star.

'Hef has always been a pioneer, setting the stage for all of us. When I saw him not too long ago, it was hard to see him in a walker.

'He's always been this strong person - and I know that he's still strong, but to see his body fall apart is hard.'

Last year, British glamour model Carla Howe claimed the entrepreneur was too sick to take part in his famous hedonistic parties.

'Hef is so frail, he goes everywhere with a group of nurses,' she said in an interview with The Sun.

She added that he 'never leaves home' and goes to bed at 7pm after watching old movies. 

Hefner does not seem to be taking any offense to the reports, and even tweeted a joke one man posted on Twitter on Saturday when he began to trend. 

'Hugh Hefner is trending. He's not dead. He isn't chosen to be part of Trump's Cabinet. So either a Russian spy or Disney's doing his movie,' wrote the man.
