Eva Mendes Slams AI-Generated Image Of Husband Ryan Gosling And Johnny Depp—And We're Obsessed
Attending the Con, as well, was Pirates of the Caribbean's Johnny Depp, there to promote his upcoming role as Ebenezer Scrooge, donning a fully immersive costume and makeup.
This week, posts have been going viral across all social media, highlighting special moments from Comic Con, including, unfortunately, Instagrammer Opavisions' post. The photograph, supposedly, included Gosling in his red Ghost Rider-inspired blazer, Johnny Depp in full Ebenezer gear, and "Slopaxo" in a bright pink hat, standing halfway out of frame.
The caption originally read:
"Some of our favorite moments from Comic-Con weren’t on stage. They were watching Ryan Gosling, Johnny Depp, and @slopaxo moving through the crowds like the unlikeliest best-friend trio."
Seeing this post, Eva Mendes was quick to call it out as a fake post and demanded that the account clearly label their use of AI.
"FAKE. Please let People know when you’re putting out AI."

After all, a less discerning eye may not realize that this photograph is fake, since both actors were attending the Con and might end up walking next to each other in the crowd. And while Gosling and Depp spending time together wouldn't inherently be a bad thing, it's still an event that did not happen, and an inauthentic photo should be labeled as such.
The account quickly apologized but also deflected accountability with compliments.
"Ok, we will, sorry."

"Wow. I'm a big fan. I love your movies."

"DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS AI***"
"Thank you for saying something. You’re right, and I’ll be more clear going forward."
"BTW, Ryan’s work has genuinely inspired me for years: 'The Nice Guys' (real SLOPAXO vibes) and 'Beyond the Pines' are some of my favorite films ever and a huge influence on the kind of entertaining stories I love creating one day."
"Wishing you both nothing but the best."
"And I also I loved you in the movie 'Hitch.' I always remember that one the most."
"And of course, 'Ghost Rider.'"

The account also changed the caption of the post simply to "AI."
The interaction has since gone viral on X, where fans are applauding Eva Mendes for speaking out against the use of AI.
Some X users would also love to see the Instagram account "Opavisions" be banned because of its continued use of AI.
Despite Mendes' callout and the user promising to be "more clear in the future," they've posted fake photos of countless celebrities since then, including of "Slopaxo" and Ryan Gosling leaving Comic-Con together.
It's so creepy that celebrities are photographed in public as much as they are, but the use of AI to create fake scenarios is a whole new problem.
While this account isn't creating content that could be damaging to someone's image and reputation, it feels like they could easily step into that.
Celebrity Tributes Come Pouring In For 'Once' Star Glen Hansard After His Tragic Death In Motorcycle Accident—And Fans Are Heartbroken
U2's lead singer Bono said in a statement:
"He was such an angelic presence. Not otherworldly. In fact, very present, this presence."
"A smiling rascal if you needed him to be. This most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun. No airs, plenty of graces."
"Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk, sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street."
Bono continued to reminisce:
"When the crowds got bigger and for safety's sake, Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside the Gaiety Theatre."
"He would say, 'We'll give it our best, but it's not a busk if we're not on the street,' because that's who he was, a performer at eye level in any situation."
"Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and the Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favored place to perform. And street people his favorite audience."
"For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case."
"May you rest in the peace you gave to so many."
Tributes poured in all across social media, from Facebook to Instagram to X.
Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes star Rachel Zegler was visibly heartbroken in her post on Instagram, in which she shared a long carousel of the pair performing on stage and spending time together between performances.
Zegler wrote:
"Oh, I will love you forever."
"Rest now, my friend."

Cáit O'Riordan similarly shared photos of the pair performing on stage together and wrote:
"Love you, Glen. Thank you for the community, the kindness, the music."
Irish broadcaster of The Late Late Show Ryan Tubridy wrote a touching tribute to Hansard, as well.
"It’s with the heaviest of hearts I post a few words about Glen Hansard who has died."
"I’ve been a fan, an admirer, and thanks to multiple chats on TV and radio, an interviewer of this extraordinarily talented singer and storyteller."
"Apart from his talent as an artist, he also cared. He cared about the homeless, and he cared about Ireland."
"The Oscar, the achievements and the humanity were all part of a life well lived."
"Condolences to Glen’s family and his legion of fans. We have lost one of the greats. May he rest in peace."
Bruce Springsteen said in a statement:
"Here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Glen Hansard."
"We met in Ireland many years ago, and he was always nothing but a great musician, a good friend and a generous and gracious man."
"Always positive, smiling, and ready to sing. God bless him and his loved ones."
Ed Sheeran also wrote:
"Heartbroken to hear the news about Glen."
"He was such an incredible human. An incredible force. I am grateful for the times we spent together."
"Sending so much love to his family.
Fans were heartbroken over his sudden loss.
