UAE-based digital artist Jyo John Mulloor makes people in Dubai wish that pictures could come to life. For example, he shows football star Cristiano Ronaldo cooking a meal on the street, Will Smith cutting spices, and Pope Francis looking at a tray of fried snacks.
Mulloor released a new set of striking AI-made pictures on Thursday. The pictures show famous people rubbing hands with regular people on Karama Street, which is close to their hearts.
During the holy month of Ramadan, “these amazing people were cooking and serving food to the less fortunate,” he wrote in a caption for the hyperrealistic pictures he made with AI.
Ronaldo and David Beckham are seen wearing aprons while cooking and serving food on Mulloor’s made-up “Ramadan food street”:

Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves fit the setting perfectly — as if the images were lifted from Mission Impossible and John Wick, respectively.
In his latest series, posted on Friday, Muroor added more personalities and placed them in the setting of a “Ramadan celebration at Dubai Expo City”.

Using AI to put some of the world’s most famous personalities in ‘unusual scenarios’ has become a trend — and the outputs have never failed to impress Netizens.
Remember the collection of superheroes breaking their fast — where Spider-Man is seen wearing a thobe and Iron Man in a kurta?
What about the Game of Thrones characters imagined in bejewelled Indian outfits, which Muroor had also created?
All these images — which had gone viral — show how good AI is at helping artists create imaginary scenarios featuring ‘real people’. While impressive, this technology has sparked some controversy, especially when one artist used it to ‘imagine Trump arrested’, with many falling for the fake photos.
