When it comes to being famous, a person had better get comfortable making headlines for a variety of reasons. Whether is engaging in a feud, going through a rough divorce, or going viral on social media, stars need to be ready to make headlines for anything.

On the surface, Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise seem to have little in common with one another. Despite this, the duo appeared to be extremely flirty in a video that took the internet by storm. Things, however, were not what they seemed.

Let’s take a look at both stars, and at the viral video that left people stunned.

Paris Hilton Is A Popular Name

The Hilton name was primarily known for H๏τels many years ago, but an infamous video was largely responsible for Paris Hilton entering the limelight and making herself one of the most famous figures of the 2000s. The family name was enough for the star to have wealth and access to elite company, but her fame changed everything in a heartbeat.

Since becoming a household name in the 2000s, Paris Hilton has continued ot enjoy a major following, as well as a huge bank account. She enjoyed being on the covers of magazines, appearing in movies, unleashing a successful record, and even starring in a hit reality show.

Hilton might not get the same type of media coverage that she once enjoyed, but she’s still ridiculously famous. Social media has certainly been a game changer, and she maintains a rabid following there.

Interestingly, Hilton recently used her social media platform to post a video of her and Tom Cruise, which went viral in a hurry! On the surface the duo appear to have little in common, but like Hilton, Tom Cruise has been in the public eye for years, and he knows how to get the fans worked up.

Tom Cruise Is An A-Lister

Though he’s not one to have a huge presence on social media, there is no denying that Tom Cruise is a bona fide star who has been in the spotlight for ages. The man conquered Hollywood years ago, and instead of resting on his laurels, he’s seen to it that younger performers don’t take his place on top.

Cruise’s career dates back to the 1980s when he was getting smaller roles in notable projects. Eventually, his talent was too much to ignore, and leading roles started coming his way. This was what really kickstarted his career, and once he became a movie star in the 1980s, he managed to increase his standing in Hollywood in the pᴀssing decades.

Oscar aside, Tom Cruise has achieved virtually everything that a movie star could ever hope for. Unbelievably, Cruise’s newest release, Top Gun: Maverick, just crossed the $1 billion-mark, becoming his highest-grossing movie of all time.

As we mentioned already, Cruise is normally not one to spend a great deal of time on social media. This played a part in fans freaking out when they came across a video of Cruise and Paris Hilton looking awfully cozy on social media.

A Tom Cruise And Paris Hilton Video Went Viral

Some time back, Paris Hilton delivered a flirtatious video with Tom Cruise, and people were shook by what they were watching.

“Do you think people are really going to believe that we’re a couple?” Hilton asks.

Cruise responds by saying, “I think most people will believe anything.”

As you can imagine, the comment section for this video was hilarious, as few out there imagined Hilton and Cruise collaborating on a TikTok, and even fewer imagined that they would be flirting with one another.

Alas, this video was simply a ruse.

Turns out, the Tom Cruise seen in the video was actually a Deepfake that was done extraordinarily well. The user, Miles Fisher, has been rocking Tom Cruise Deepfakes for some time, and he has amᴀssed a huge following on TikTok thanks to his ability to transform into the movie star.

When dishing on his use of the technology, Fisher said, “As I find myself the unofficial face of this deep fake movement, it’s important to learn and I’m fascinated by this. This is the bleeding edge of technology.”

So, the truth is that Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise didn’t actually link up to bring this video to life, but the fact that so many were confused is a testament to the technology, the outstanding job done by Fisher, and the incredible sell by Hilton.

Needless to say, fans can’t wait to see who Fisher collabs with next.
