Don’t be fooled by the fake hair on these famous baldies

This isn’t the first time photo-manipulated fakery has fooled people across social media, and with ongoing generative AI advancements, it probably won’t be the last. Previous incidents gave us the viral swagged-out pope, and recent trends have seen paparazzi photographs of celebrities like Callum Turner, Harry Styles, and Noah Schnapp being manipulated to remove their shirts. These kinds of edits are typically designed to rack up likes, reposts, and other engagement — they play into our fascination with celebrities’ lives with fabricated situations that are just outlandish enough to be believable, grab our attention, and be shared around as the latest hot gossip by those who are fooled, or who simply don’t care to verify the facts.
