    When Deepfakes Go Too Far: Willem Dafoe in “Pretty Woman”

    Mary Anne ButlerBy

    We can absolutely appreciate a good deepfake around here- especially if it’s well done. Okay fine, even when it’s NOT well done. Sometimes the use of this particular technology begs us to ask why- DEAR GODS, WHY. Like this one that’s been making the rounds again.

    May we present “Pretty Woman,” but starring Willem Dafoe instead of Julia Roberts.

    Dafoe is one of those actors who is capable of pretty much anything. Creepy? Check. Suave? Check. Something of a scientist? Double check. But, did you EVER think you’d see him…singing Prince in the bathtub? Yeah, only in our strangest fever dreams. And let’s be honest- it’d probably be “Partyman” from “Batman.”

    Anyhow, please…enjoy???…this deepfake.
