Popular actor Jacob Elordi, known for his role in Saltburn and Euphoria recently found himself the target of a disturbing trend: deepfakes. A fabricated video featuring Elordi went viral, sparking outrage among fans. Thankfully, eagle-eyed viewers exposed the fake – Elordi’s signature birthmark was missing!
Fans rallied online, urging others to report the video as harassment. This isn’t an isolated incident – stars like Jenna Ortega, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift have faced similar attacks.
With deepfakes becoming more sophisticated, the UK is taking action. New legislation aims to criminalize creating sexually explicit deepfakes. Elordi’s case highlights the critical need for public awareness and stricter laws to fight back against the damaging world of deepfakes.
