'Babe, they're AI. They're not real – Zendaya reacts to viral wedding photos

US actress Zendaya has given an amused and bemused reaction to the widely shared photos that appear to show her wedding to fellow actor Tom Holland.

Dozens of the AI-generated photos have been posted online, and "many people have been fooled by them," Zendaya told American chat show host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night.

"While I was just out and about in real life, people were like, 'Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous.'. And I was like, 'Babe, they're AI. They're not real, " she explained:

The actress side-stepped the question of whether she was actually married to her Spider-Man co-star.

Asked about rumors they had tied the knot, she joked: "Really? I haven't seen any of them".

The Euphoria star went on to say that it wasn't just fans who had been fooled by the fake wedding images.

The actor said that "many people" in her personal life were convinced, and some had been mad that they didn't get an invite.

At first glance, the photos look pretty realistic. They show a smiling Zendaya and Holland in their wedding outfits, exchanging vows - against a background that looks like Lake Como, Italy.

Images shared at the start of the month by a creator called AK on the social media platform X also appeared to show Robert Downey Jr, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Jake Gyllenhaal in attendance at the ceremony.

Another user called Juan Regueira Rodriguez posted a collection of supposed wedding pictures on Instagram, with one - liked by millions - showing Holland holding a Spider-Man mask.

A caption said the images have been created with AI as an "artistic recreation", but many fans missed the disclaimer.
