The recent appearance of former Vice Admiral Robert Harward on Fox News has led to a resurgence of conspiracy theories, with some viewers convinced he was wearing a mask. This speculation arose during his discussion about rising tensions between the US and Iran, where a noticeable shadow around his neck sparked debate online. Many users on the social media platform X, including one named Johnny Sausage, expressed their belief that the shadow was indicative of a prosthetic disguise, drawing parallels to a past incident involving comedian Jim Carrey. In that case, internet users speculated that Carrey had been replaced by a body double, leading to a bizarre series of events. However, experts in graphic effects have weighed in, suggesting that the peculiar appearance of Harward could likely be attributed to shadows cast by studio cameras or a glitch in the artificial background used during the broadcast. While some viewers indulged in the conspiracy theories, others called for a more rational perspective, highlighting the tendency of the internet to jump to conclusions.
