In one corner, we have a world-famous music artist covered in tattoos and wearing the latest designer clothes.
In the other stands one of the most iconic actors of our time who has a decades-spanning career.
Yep, it’s as strange a match as it sounds.
In June 2019, Bieber decided to issue a challenge on X that had social media reeling.
“I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon,” Bieber declared.
Who is willing to put on the fight?"
(viaUSA Today).
It was a totally strange and spontaneous challenge at which social media users had to poke fun.
But it turns out it was all a joke for Bieber.
Bieber tried to make amends with an AI Tom Cruise
I’ve got a sweet spot!
Things only got weirder in the Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise drama in 2021.
He was thoroughly amazed at the actor’s skills.
But you could still catch these hands my boy."
Unfortunately for Bieber, the “person” he was complimenting wasn’t Tom Cruise.
In fact, it wasn’t really a person at all, at least not in a sense.
Bieber had been duped into believing that an AI-generated version of Cruise was the actual actor.
