only one source so far

Photo composites or AI images of Jeff Bezos and Jason Statham with fake added hair are circulating on X, Threads, and Bluesky; they are fakes, not real photographs.

According to The Verge, edited images of Jeff Bezos and Jason Statham, both known for their bald heads, are spreading on the social networks X, Threads, and Bluesky. In the images, both men have noticeably more hair than usual — in Bezos's case, according to the description, it looks like freshly transplanted hair. This is a photo composite or AI-generated content, not real photographs.

According to The Verge, it's not clear how much reach these posts have, but they appear often enough that several members of the editorial team noticed them in their own social feeds. Some people who shared the images presented them as real.

The source text also mentions that other similar reactions to the sharing appeared, but the article does not provide further details.
