A pornographic deepfake of actor Jacob Elordi has caught the attention of many X users after the Saltburn star's face was superimposed onto the body of the then 17-year-old OnlyFans model. The post featuring the minor received more than 3 million views.
The OnlyFans model, whose body was used in the deepfake, commented on the incident, TMZ reports. The young man, now 19 years old, lives in Brazil. He said it was his torso in the video and called the footage creepy, adding that it was recorded when he was underage. Now he asks to delete the video.
Some fans noted that the body clearly did not belong to Elordi, since it did not have the characteristic birthmarks. Others rallied around the actor, condemning the video and those who shared it. “Can you please stop spreading this Jacob Elordi deepfake, you are all disgusting,” one user wrote. “The people who shared this Jacob Elordi video are no better than the people who shared AI photos of Taylor Swift. It's disgusting."
At least 16 separate deepfake posts featuring Elordi were discovered on X Tuesday, NBC News reports. The 26-year-old movie star is the latest victim of artificial intelligence deepfakes spreading on social media. Singer Megan Thee Stallion faced similar issues earlier this month, and Taylor Swift's porn photos became such a big problem online in January that the platform temporarily made her name unsearchable. The White House also took notice of the incident, with spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre telling ABC News at the time that they were "dismayed" by what happened to Swift, and that Congress "should take legislative action."
