Tom Holland reacts to that viral 'Back to the Future' deepfake
Watch Next

Remember that genuinely unnerving deepfake of Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. in Back to the Future, that went viral a couple of weeks back?

Well, Tom Holland has seen it. And in the BBC Radio 1 interview above, he makes two important admissions: 1) That there have previously "conversations" about a remake, although Holland thinks the film "couldn't be made better", and 2) He's up for chatting to Downey Jr. to see if they can "recreate...something" — even if it's just that one scene.

A remake based on a deepfake based on an old classic? The future truly is weirder than Doc could possibly have imagined.
