The walrus was Paul. The Paul was Beck.

He's a Beatle, baby, not a loser this time. In a new using , what appears to be a younger, so much younger than today version of Paul McCartney is seen dancing through a hotel hallway and other scenes. Eventually, in an unnerving scene, Young McCartney pulls off a mask to reveal himself as singer Beck. Turns out it's all been a video for Find My Way, a song by the two musicians on the remix album McCartney III Imagined.
Deepfakes are always disturbing, and this one, showing a twenty- or thirtysomething McCartney when the real singer is 79, may be more disturbing than most. The video went live on on June 22, and in one day, has been viewed more than 2 million times.
