The deepfake account appears to feature someone pretending to be the famous actor. The impression is n’t just jaw-dropping because of how well the person replicates cruise’s famous laugh.

It’s not actually Tom Cruise using some sort of strange Twitter name. His voice is close, but the lip-syncing is a tiny bit off at some points.

There are still a couple of telling glitches, including the golf one where the sunglasses disappear and his mouth morphs for a frame or two.

Tiktok’s TOS explicitly call out impersonations as forbidden. The account gained 236,000 followers in the process. Tiktok did n’t immediately respond to an email from the verge asking whether this type of account is allowed.
