Your friend was fooled to think that Hader did that on his own?

I'm technologically experienced enough to be posting and reading on HN.

It fooled me on the first view, I just didn't even see it, it was seamless.

Me as well, I thought to my self 'that dude has some resemblance to Tom Cruise' for a second and the next moment the similarity had dissapeared and I fully dismissed my initial reaction since he afterwards had no real resemblance.. Dismissed it and thought my mind had played a trick on me because of sleepiness or something. Only after glancing the video comments (after first full view) did I understand what was going on.

Same. I came across this clip a few days ago without the context.

It's a little embarrassing frankly. I kept thinking that he's such a good impersonator that he's able to manipulate his facial muscles in just such a way as to embody Tom Cruise.

My defenses are now up a bit higher.

Hypothetically, I meant, if someone were to style their hair as Cruise and did an entire video impersonating his speech - it would be convincing it was him
