A deepfake artist's attempt to make Robert De Niro look younger in 'The Irishman' is being hailed as superior to Netflix's CGI

If it's true that no amount of money can prevent aging, a little-known YouTuber has just hammered home that truth in style. The YouTuber, a deepfake specialist known as iFake, has caused embarrassment for Netflix after using free deepfake tech to de-age characters from "The Irishman" more convincingly than the streaming giant – despite Netflix reportedly spending millions of dollars attempting to de-age them. The YouTuber claims it took just seven days to create the new effects. Commenters on YouTube have also lavished the deepfaker with praise. One, going by the name "JRX." urged iFake to "do the whole movie and release it," and another, Fernando Maron, claiming that "De Niro [looks] like his Taxi Driver, Once Upon in America days."
