It wasreported a while back that Bruce Willis, the star of Die Hard, had sold the rights to his likeness to a deepfake company so it could be used in future films and projects. The story spread quickly as an example of how AI and digital doubles might change Hollywood. But later reports clarified that this wasn’t actually true—Willis had not sold the rights to his likeness.
The rumor likely grew out of a project where his image was recreated for a commercial using AI-assisted technology, but that’s very different from permanently licensing his face for unlimited future use. It’s a good reminder that stories about AI and celebrities can travel fast online… even when the details aren’t quite right.
