“His gaze kept wandering”, she wrote, as if something had happened between the two of them.
The post had everything it needed to go viral: an attractive hairdresser, a famous footballer sitting in her chair, and a 50-euro tip as proof of the encounter. Thousands of users believed it, commented, and imagined a genuine flirtation between Ferran Torres and a stranger with scissors in hand.
The problem is that this hairdresser never existed. It is an account that generates videos with artificial intelligence using celebrities’ faces, with the sole purpose of amassing followers and funneling them toward an OnlyFans account. Ferran Torres’s real hairdresser has a real name: Nando Díaz, who has been looking after him since the footballer was 18 and describes his current haircut as “classic, with a slight fade at the sideburns”. No knowing looks, just work and years of trust.
