How many times have we all been told not to believe everything we see on the internet?

Paris Hilton decided to have a little fun on TikTok on Tuesday by posting a video that caused everyone who saw it to temporarily lose their minds. Is that…is that Tom Cruise!?! 

It starts with a man who definitely looks and sounds a whole lot like Tom Cruise slipping into a blazer and calling out, “Paris, I don’t want to be late for this premiere. We gotta go.” Hilton then walks into the frame in full glam, as the couple (couple?!) stands in front of the mirror for a last-minute check. “Do you think people are really going to believe that we’re a couple?” Hilton asks. “I think most people will believe anything,” he responds, whispering cheesily into her neck. 

“Story of my life,” says Hilton. 

Okay, yes, it is a joke and that is not the real Tom Cruise. That is Tom Cruise impersonator Miles Fisher—though the only way you’d be able to tell is by the height. “Tom Cruise isn’t that tall lmao,” one TikToker rightfully commented. 

Be that as it may, the video had thousands of viewers both convinced and confused. Comments include, “Wait a damn minute?” and, “What is happening,” and, “Wait is this the real Tom Cruise or the computer generated one?”

Fans of Hilton should know by now that when she says most people believing just about anything is the “story of her life,” she’s not really joking. Hilton maintained a carefully crafted baby-voiced bimbo persona for years on The Simple Life and various other reality TV projects, remember? Looks like she got us again, Scooby.
