Found a 20-second tell that exposes most celebrity deepfakes

I was testing clips on TikTok last night and noticed the ear shadows never match the light source in like 9 out of 10 fake videos, even the pricey ones. Have any of you used that trick to spot one in the wild, or is there a better giveaway I'm missing?

Ear shadows are a solid catch, but the teeth are the real giveaway. Deepfakes still can't handle individual tooth edges when someone talks fast. Blurry back teeth are the norm in fake videos, even the ones with a big budget behind them. The light source trick works too, but it needs a static shot to really compare. Most clips move so fast that your brain forgives the shadow mess. Teeth are harder to fake because they're small, white, and moving all at once. Check the molars when someone is mid-sentence, that's where the whole thing falls apart.
