A Bruce Willis deepfake will appear in his stead for future film projects

TL;DR

Bruce Willis may have retired from acting following a diagnosis of aphasia, but a version of him will live on in future projects.A representative for the retired actor claimed that Willis "has no partnership or agreement with this Deepcake company.”Engineers created the digital double drawing from content in Die Hard and Fifth Element, when Willis was 32 and 42, respectively."With the advent of the modern technology, I could communicate, work and participate in filming, even being on another continent.Actors have already appeared as digital versions of themselves, notably in The Book of Boba Fett with a young Mark Hamill.Deepfakes vary widely in quality, but many approach the "uncanny valley" where characters don't look quite right because of stiff movements, dead eyes and other issues."
