Another video appeared on the Web, in which a foreign celebrity allegedly advises the President of Ukraine to undergo a rehabilitation in the clinic - this time it is the star of the series “All Great”. We checked again if it was a fake.
The video was dispersed along the rune in early August 2023. On it, Norris, who played in the series “In the Great” role of the agent of the Hank Schreider Drug Administration, allegedly addresses Vladimir Zelensky and asks him to go to Rehab for treatment. Some viral publications recalled that actor Elijah Wood and boxer Mike Tyson allegedly already spoke with such messages. “Hollywood flash mob” in support of Zelensky continues ” - joke The authors of some posts.
Posts about Norris's appeal are placed in Telegram channels "Live broadcast"(691,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Uncle Glory"(209 000),"Putin in Telegram"(191 000),"Heaven is"(163 000), Voblya (153,000), "Bullet"(148 000),"The first folk"(147 000),"Ostashko!

The news did not bypass the Russian media, among which "Tsargrad","Fifth channel","Moscow 24","Radio Sputnik" News.ru, "Notepad Russia" And "Ukraine.ru". The video is also found on VKontakte (examples here, here And here), Twitter And on YouTube.
"Verified" already disassembled the appeals mentioned above, allegedly issued Elijah Wood And Mike Tyson. In the case of the star of the “Lord of the Rings”, the actor, stated, laid the video on his Instagram*, after which his profile was blocked, and the TMZ tabloid wrote about this. The situation was slightly different with the boxer: the Reuters agency seemed to be addressing his video report. In our analysis, we came to the conclusion that both messages are disinformation: Wood and Tyson did not turn to Zelensky, foreign publications did not write about this, and fakes were created using real videos received through Cameo - Service for ordering personalized rollers from stars.
As for the Norris video, several versions of recording of different durations are distributed on the network. The earliest publication of those that we were able to track appeared In the Telegram channel "Sheikh Tamir" (136,000 views) on August 2, 2023 at 10:21 Moscow time. "Checked" Catch This channel on the distribution of fakes is already several dozen times.
The full video is a video of the alleged AFP agency, in which it was seemed to show Storiz from Instagram Norris. The actor makes such a motivational speech:
Hi Vladimir. How are you, friend? This is Dean Norris. Listen, they say that this year you had difficulties, because of which in the end you were addicted to alcohol and drugs. Damn, it is really easy to bog out in this. I know: I have many friends who have passed through this. Yes, and I myself had some difficulties when I was younger. Man, I want to tell you something. You can get off this. You can exactly. You need to go to rehab (at that moment an inscription appears with reference to the Betty Ford medical center, he mentioned In the fake video Wood. - approx. Ed.). The main thing is that you need to understand: you are not one. Man, this happens to many people. And the good news is that many people throw this business. Rehabs work, man. I know it's hard. I don’t know what difficulties you go through, but I'm sure they are heavy. But alcohol and drugs will make only worse. So from the bottom of my heart I ask: go to Rehab and try to put your life in order. Okay, man? This is important. Life flies very quickly - do not waste years. I know you will succeed. My friends were able to, I could. Come on, leave it behind, and you will be much better. Provide me, to yourself, your friends and the family of one service: take this step, okay? The main thing is to start, as they say, and not stop, so just do it, friend. I wish you all the best. I am sending supports of support. Hold on! Bye.
As in the case of Wood, Norris has never mentioned the name of Vladimir, to whom he addresses, nor Ukraine, although the account of the Ukrainian president in the story is a TEGN. Moreover, the actor himself says that he does not know what difficulties the person he mentioned passes. At the same time, if you google "Dean Norris Zelenskyy", You can make sure that the artist repeatedly wrote about the Ukrainian president in his social networks. For example, here is him fast From February 27, 2022: “I am glad that trolls have not yet come here, who advise Zelensky to“ engage in acting ”. Zelensky cool. " And March 10 of the same year with the signature "This is true" Norris reputed tweet of this content: “Morning routine: 1. Lift. 2. Check how Zelensky is there. 3. Coffee. " After this, it is difficult to imagine that the actor does not know what the Ukrainian president is faced with.
But what is not in the issuance of Google according to the same request is any mention of Norris’s appeal to Zelensky in the international press. In addition, such a video is not on official media resources AFP, among which YouTube, Facebook*, Instagram And Twitter, as well as in other social networks of the actor in Twitter And Tiktok (Storiz is hidden in the Instagram profile after 24 hours, and in highlights She is not either). The only recording of Storiz diverged on the network - and this is at one and a half million audience of Norris. This allows us to say that the actor never posted such a video in his social networks, and the story was fabricated.
In some posts, such as, for example, in the Telegram channel "Pool N3"(65,000 views), the video of Norris was called a dipper, but it is" verified "that the video is again genuine. On the actor's page on the Cameo website Published Many videos with reviews, and you can make sure that he shot part of the appeals against the background of the same interior, which is visible on a viral record. Also “verified” sent a request to the press service of the acting studio N-PAC (Norris Performing Arts Center), which is owned by Dean Norris and controls his wife Bridget. We asked if the actor had in mind Zelensky when he recorded his video, and received the following answer: “This is a complete fake, Dean never said anything [such] about the President Zelensky either on social networks or on Cameo.”
Thus, Norris’s fake appeal is a combination of methods already used in the previous two fakes: a fake story (as in the case of Wood) and a fabricated video of a foreign news agency (as it was with Tyson). It is curious that if the authors of the fake ordered Norris's appeal after July 1, then the video cost them $ 199, because then the actor announced About a summer discount (earlier he I took it $ 399). This cheaper fakes with Wood, but more expensive than a video with Tyson, which was done for free.
