Tom Hanks shared a statement on Instagram warning about fake deepfakes.

The actor said he has nothing to do with the fake ads.

Hanks also warned last year about a video that used a fake version of him to promote a dental plan.

Without government regulations in the U.S. , unauthorized deepfake ads have become a rising source of misinformation.
