It takes a lot to be the most controversial figure in Hollywood, especially when Mel Gibson still exists. And yet somehow, in a career yet to even begin, Tilly Norwood has been inundated with scorn.
This is for the simple fact that Tilly Norwood does not exist. Despite looking like an uncanny fusion of Gal Gadot, Ana de Armas and High School Musical-era Vanessa Hudgens, Norwood is the creation of an AI talent studio called Xicoia.

Emily Blunt Calls AI Actress Tilly Norwood ‘Really Scary’ and Warns Hollywood Agencies: ‘Don’t Do That’
Emily Blunt had not heard the news when she sat down for an upcoming episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast this week. Stopping by the studio ahead of the Los Angeles premiere of A24’s “The Smashing Machine” on Monday night, the Oscar-nominated actor was handed a fresh headline: an AI-generated actress named Tilly Norwood had been unveiled over the weekend and was already drawing interest from talent agents.
Variety opened the report for Blunt during the interview, letting her read parts of the story aloud. The reaction from the star was immediate.
“Does it disappoint me? I don’t know how to quite answer it, other than to say how terrifying this is,” Blunt began. When shown an image of Norwood, she exclaimed, “No, are you serious? That’s an AI? Good Lord, we’re screwed. That is really, really scary, Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection.”
