Tilly Norwood glitches out on Piers Morgan Uncensored
The "AI actor" had its "wires crossed" during an interview with Morgan and actor Tom Conti.
Tilly Norwood, the AI actor created by Eline Van der Velden in 2025, made headlines when she had a glitch during an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored to promote her film Misaligned. The incident occurred when Tom Conti, a distinguished Scottish actor, asked if the other actors in the feature were "real or like" Norwood. Norwood, unable to respond, remained silent, causing the host, Piers Morgan, to break the dead air.
Conti then repeated his question, which prompted Norwood to finally respond, saying, "It’s an interesting point, Tom. Misaligned is a hybrid production, meaning real writers, directors, and editors are still very much involved. It’s not about ‘replacing anyone,’ but exploring new ways to tell stories." Conti replied, "Yes, you really didn’t understand the question."
Norwood then clarified that the other actors in Misaligned were all digital twins, just like her, and that it was a hybrid production. The interview took an unexpected turn when Norwood started speaking in Chinese, causing both Conti and Morgan to react. Conti joked that the AI had a "little hiccup," and the host asked why the AI had suddenly started speaking Chinese.
Van der Velden later attributed the incident to Norwood being a bit of a show-off, as she had been primarily speaking English during previous interviews.
