There are theories and theories… and then there is what is being said these days about Ted lasso. Well, actually, "these days" is a manner of speaking: the crazy hypothesis that we are going to tell you about has been circulating on the internet for quite some time and, most surprising of all, there are many people who believe it. What are we talking about? Well, one of the characters in the series is actually created with CGI y Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), Therefore, he has been experimenting with us for a long time.
The CGI to the order of the day
We've already talked at length about the world of CGI on our cover. As you know, this technique is the order of the day in the world of television and cinema, since thanks to it certain situations can be recreated quite realistically using the computer.
Among the most well-known and recent cases of the use of CGI with actors is, for example, the rejuvenated Princess Leia in Rogue One: A Star Wars story or the appearance of a young man Luke Skywalker -on these lines- in the finale of the second season of The Mandalorian, as you well remember in The Verge. And precisely this publication is the one that now brings up the latest theory related to this digital technique and a TV series: according to many followers of Ted lasso, the particular character of Roy Kent is also created by CGI. what you are reading
A fake Roy Kent? in Ted Lasso
The theory is by no means new. For almost a year, some followers of Ted Lasso believe to feet together in reality roy kent It is recreated on the computer and that Apple will at some point reveal its secret and how it has been playing with its Apple TV + viewers.
The reason why it is being talked about now is because someone on Twitter decided to bring up these hypotheses, which until now were discussed in the forums of Reddit to the light, demonstrating that it is a subject commented on and supported by many people:

And it is that in a certain way the character, supposedly played by the British actor Brett goldstein (Ahem), It has some peculiarities that do nothing more than feed the theory, such as perfect facial hair, its particular way of expressing itself or that skin tone and finish that could sometimes make one think that it is not quite real.
A Twitter user captured what we were aiming for quite well, collecting some "suspicious" images that make it seem that what we see on the screen is not really a human being:

If you stopped to read the thread that was tweeted a few days ago, some followers even believe that Apple is waiting for some special moment like a TV award nomination (for example, an Emmy) to unveil the cake and leave us all with open mouth
Have you ever considered such a possibility? Do you think Roy Kent could be computer generated and that one day we'll find out?
