AceShowbiz - Jacob Elordi is the latest celebrity to be targeted with nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes. The actor has been featured on NSFW posts that spread on social media, including X, formerly Twitter, involving a minor.
The deepfakes created with AI feature the "Saltburn" star's face merged onto the body of a male OnlyFans creator. The body in the deepfakes doesn't match the Australian native, who has a distinctive birthmark on his chest.
According to NBC News, the deepfake has been identified in at least 16 posts on X. One of the posts has over 1.7 million views.
The OnlyFans creator, who was featured in the deepfakes, has spoken out against the posts via his X account. The OF creator, who is now 19 and living in Brazil, said he was only 17 years old when the video was taken.
In posts, he wrote "that's literally my video" and "deep fake is getting creepy." He also replied to several of the posts containing the deepfake and asked for them to be deleted. At least one of the posts now has a content label that said, "Visibility limited: this Post may violate X's rules against Abuse." That post could not be linked to or shared, but it still had 23,000 views.
Fans have since rallied around Jacob, blasting those sharing the deepfakes and calling for the footage to be taken down. "the people sharing that ai video of jacob elordi are not any better than the ones who shared those ai photos of taylor swift. It's disgusting, doesn't matter what gender it happens to," one wrote on X.
"Can yall stop spreading that Jacob elordi deepfake around yall are disgusting," another implored. A third echoed the sentiment as saying, "sharing that jacob elordi fake should put some of you in jai for life.. yall can never be normal about that man."
"hi, there's a p*rn deep fake video (where they put the face of one person on another) of Jacob Elordi circulating around, I ask that if you see any of the videos or montages, REPORT IT AS HARASSMENT," one other pleaded. "this is sick and can reach other proportions, if u see it around, report it."
Jacob himself has not publicly reacted to the deepfakes.
