This is quite something:

As the Women’s World Cup approaches, a clever marketing video employed the latest deepfake technology to challenge gender stereotypes.

An ad by telecoms company Orange shows an epic sizzle reel of the French men’s soccer team displaying their skills, featuring huge stars like Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Olivier Giroud. Except, it’s not actually them.

The twist comes halfway through the video when it is revealed the footage viewers have just watched is doctored. The soccer players performing the scintillating skills belong to the women’s team, not the men’s team.
