Deep Tom Cruise

Miles Fisher, an actor consistently turned away from parts for looking too much like Tom Cruise, created a video spoof for the 2020 American presidential campaign, but without looking enough like Cruise. That’s when Chris Ume stumbled on the video and decided to take a go, posting a remake after running it through an AI open-source engine called DeepFaceLab, which you can find on GitHub. Now Ume and Fisher regularly create clips together on TikTok. Their first three 30-second clips include over 20,000 images of Cruise’s face for the engine to use to rerender their scenes.
