The videos of a magical, golfing, and stumbling Tom Cruise on TikTok caused a sensation. But it quickly became clear: the Hollywood star was not real, but created using so-called deep fake technology.

The makers behind the account “@deeptomcruise” are now revealing how this illusion worked.

In a video published on YouTube called “DeepTomCruise TikTok Breakdown” they reveal how they were able to “conjure” the Hollywood actor’s face into their TikTok clips using artificial intelligence.
