Rumors of Jamie Foxx having been cloned went rife this week when the actor was spotted in public without his head tattoo.

A TikTok user filmed the Django Unchained star standing at McDonald’s ordering food in a black Dolce and Gabbana tracksuit. He seemed to have taken the worker at the fast-food restaurant by surprise as he walked into the store and began having a conversation. He then paid for his food and she handed him the receipt.

As he waited for his food, he also did a silly dance which amused fans at the restaurant. As the entire clip was filmed from behind, the actor’s bald head was clearly visible to the person filming the video. What stood out in the TikTok video, however, was the fact that the tattoo at the back of the actor’s head seemed to have gone missing.

Any die-hard fan of Jamie Foxx knows that the actor sports a black tribal-style ink that stretches the whole length of his head. Thousands of pictures of the tattoo in question are present on the internet. Over the past few months, Foxx has been seen without the ink, including when he returned a woman’s purse in Chicago and was seen playing Topgolf.

While the obvious answer might be that he’s had it removed, fans have come up with a wilder idea. The missing link has sparked a conspiracy theory that it was not the actor but the actor’s clone walking around the town.
