Watch Paris Hilton Ready to Date “Tom Cruise” on TikTok
And most people did! TikTok videos have sent the Internet into a frenzy. One user commented: “I was so confused, but invested.”
Meanwhile, another user started taking notice, writing, “Wait is this real Tom Cruise or is it computer generated?”
Paris finally cleared the air by commenting that she was “Abusing @deeptomcruise”—that’s the TikTok account for impostors Miles Fischer. The content creator is known to use deepfake technology to digitally place Tom Cruise’s face on his own.
In a December 2021 interview with TodayMiles reflects on his use of face-swapping technology.
“When I saw myself as the unofficial face of this deepfake movement, it was important to learn and I was intrigued by this,” Miles said. “This is the bleeding edge of technology.”
