Fake image of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in leather jacket goes viral

cnn.com —

A fake image of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang wearing a studded leather jacket went viral, but the company confirmed it was altered. The image spread amid reports of an extramarital affair involving an alleged Chinese spy. The manipulated photo, based on a real image of Huang at Seoul's Gimpo International Airport in June, showed him in a flashy Saint Laurent jacket. It gained traction because it resembled his signature style, which he says simplifies decision-making. Huang, married since 1985, has admitted to the affair. His classic leather jackets, often bought by his wife Lori, are iconic; one Tom Ford piece sold for nearly $1 million at auction earlier this year.
