Since people began to learn to use photoshop properly we have seen photo montages of all kinds. From putting your face on your pet, to “riding” in a luxury car with Kanye West. However, manipulating videos has always been more complicated to do, since it’s hard to hide the truth on video tape. Or at least, that’s what we thought! Now, with the new technique of deep fakes, we are doomed. Do not believe it? We show you some deep fakes that seem so real you won’t even believe it!
Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. And Tom Holland
Hollywood’s best-known action star Iron Man and Spider-Man are not without deep fakes. Although, luckily, for them, it is made clear that they are not their real faces. Yet, many people have fallen for it. And honestly, it can easily seem like it’s actually Cruise who is speaking in the interview.
Mark Zuckerberg And Donald Trump
The Ex-President (much to his regret) of the United States has also been “immortalized” in one of these deep fakes. In his case “being” Saul Goodman, the lawyer for Walter White and Jeese Pinkman in “Breaking Bad.” Worst? That hits home perfectly.
Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, the only time he was “edited” was through in a speech of his. Obviously, the work consisted of changing his words in the smoothest way! So, if we think about it, deep fakes are actually quite scary and can cause harm to others.
Jim Carrey, Will Smith And Stallone
Jim Carrey has incredible control of his face, as he has shown many, many times. However, this “imitation” of Jack Nicholson in “The Shining” is nothing but a deep fake. (Although we would’ve loved for it to be real.)
Will Smith, meanwhile, had the opportunity to be Neo in “The Matrix.” A role that, finally, would fall on Keanu Reeves. However, thanks to the magic of deep fakes we can see how a young Smith could have been the perfect fit of The Chosen One.
