Bruce Willis can still appear in movies after selling his ‘digital twin’ to Deepcake before aphasia diagnosis (video)

Deepcake experts will need three to five days to recreate the 'Die Hard' star in order to appear in various projects

Newsroom September 30 10:23

Two-time Emmy winner Bruce Willis can still appear in movies after selling his image rights to Deepcake, a Delaware-based company founded by Russian CEO Maria Chmir, last year before his aphasia diagnosis.

Engineers at the AI-powered content optimization web platform created a 4K ultra-realistic ‘digital twin’ of the German-born, New Jersey-raised 67-year-old by inputting 34K images of his face into their neural network.

In August 2021, Bruce’s twin made his debut by having his face ‘grafted’ on to understudy Konstantin Solovyov for a commercial for Russian telecoms giant MegaFon.

According to the DailyMail, Deepcake experts will need three to five days to recreate the ‘Die Hard’ star in order to appear in various projects.
