Actor Bruce Willis has become the first Hollywood star in history to sell his likeness so deepfake technology will allow him to continue appearing in films. [He] allowed Deepcake, which makes what is described as "digital twins," to use his face in a phone ad. Willis said in a statement, "I liked the precision with which my character turned out. It’s a mini-movie in my usual action-comedy genre. For me, it is a great opportunity to go back in time."
