Justin Bieber mocks viral Tom Cruise TikTok without realizing it\u2019s a deepfake Instagram: justinbieber \/ TikTok: deeptomcruiseJustin Bieber is the latest to be fooled by a strangely accurate deepfake of Tom Cruise that\u2019s going viral on TikTok, mocking the star on his Instagram story without realizing he\u2019s not the real Tom Cruise. The internet was astounded back in February when a deepfake account of actor Tom Cruise started going hugely viral on TikTok. The account, appropriately named \u2018deeptomcruise,\u2019 features a startlingly realistic deepfake, and their uncanny impressions of the actor are so good that they even managed to fool thousands into believing Cruise had really started his own TikTok account. He now has over three million followers on the account and has continued to upload videos ever since, with new viewers being tricked by the accuracy on a regular basis. But the latest to fall victim to this deepfake is none other than singer Justin Bieber, who was well and truly fooled by the account. On October 7, Bieber uploaded a video of the deepfake Tom playing the guitar to his Instagram story, along with the caption: \u201c@tomcruise I\u2019m impressed with your guitar skills. But you could still catch these hands my boy. While ur playin a tune not givin a damn, I\u2019m over here thinkin about this 1st round knockout.\u201d He even then went on to cover the song that \u2018Tom\u2019 was singing in his original video, putting a spin on the lyrics to fit his \u201cinterpretation of @tomcruise talking to his lighting guy Danny.\u201d But after all that, it seems that someone finally told Justin that the person in the video he\u2019s mocking isn\u2019t actually the real Tom Cruise, as he then uploaded the message: \u201cThat\u2019s not really Tom Cruise? Lol, oh well, still hilarious.\u201d Fans found the whole situation hilarious, as Bieber definitely isn\u2019t the only person to have been fooled by the incredibly accurate deepfake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
