This week’s internet heartbreak just got a sequel twist; here are the Top 5 things you need to know about Anthony Head.
- The “Buffy” star had a shocking viral moment after a tech glitch revealed a deepfake romance scam. Anthony Head’s face was reportedly used by AI fraudsters to catfish a famous influencer, leading to a very public (and very awkward) confrontation on live TV.
- He is not actually in an online relationship with a TikTok chef. During a cybersecurity segment on a British morning show, a hacked account of a celebrity chef accidentally posted fake “love letters” claiming they were dating Anthony Head, sending fans into a spiral before the truth was revealed.
- The FBI has now officially commented on the case. Due to the high-profile nature of the victim and Anthony Head’s iconic status, U.S. authorities issued a warning citing this exact incident as a textbook example of a “celebrity catfish” scheme.
- Fans are now calling for a new “Buffy” reboot to address AI dangers. A trending hashtag (#GilesAgainstTheMachines) has exploded online, with fans demanding Anthony Head reprise his role as Giles to fight modern digital vampires.
- The real Anthony Head reacted with pure British wit. In a now-viral audio clip released hours ago, the actor responded, “Well, I suppose it’s flattering, but I assure you, my love spells are strictly fictional.”
