Robert Pattinson Responds To Bizarre Viral Deepfake Of Himself
The account @unreal_robert has 1.1 million followers, and since May 2022, it’s been home to a surreal archive of absurd deepfakes of the actor. “I know, it’s terrifying,” Pattinson told the Evening Standard. “The amount of people who know me quite well and will still be like, ‘Why are you doing these weird dancing videos on TikTok?’ It’s really bizarre.
