Tom Cruise Deepfake

A very convincing deepfake of Tom Cruise has recently emerged on twitter: In three short videos, a (younger) Tom Cruise plays Golf and tells jokes. Take a look below:

While this deepfake is extremely convincing visually, it has some shortcomings:

• It required an actor to film the videos. The face of the actor has been face-swapped (using software such as DeepFaceLab) afterwards. While the results are much (with current technology) more convincing than fully computer-generated deepfakes, this complicates the deepfake creation process.
• The voice is not the one of Tom Cruise, but that of the actor. Compare it to the original voice in this interview of Tom Cruise. For non-English native tongues, one might not notice this immedetatly, because on is not accustomed to Tom Cruise's voice anyways. For native-speakers however, the discrepancy is obvious.
• Additionally, one can find small artefacts in the video: For example, the spectacle temple shortly becomes invisible while fake Tom Cruise removes his classes:
