Keanu Reeves, who will be seen in the upcoming action flick John Wick: Chapter 4, recently railed against deepfake technology making its way into Hollywood. In a recent interview, the actor even confirmed that he has a clause in every movie contract that prevents studios from digitally manipulating his performances. “Yeah, digitally. I don’t mind if someone takes a blink out during an edit… But early on, in the early 2000s, or it might have been the ’90s, I had a performance changed. They added a tear to my face, and I was just like, ‘Huh?!’ It was like, I don’t even have to be here,” said the actor.
Elaborating his reservations, he added, “What is frustrating about that is you lose your agency. When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary.”
