Comedian and television personality Alan Carr has sent his social media followers into a spin with a brilliantly humorous post featuring an artificially enhanced version of himself. The 49-year-old, who recently triumphed on Celebrity Traitors, shared the joke while enjoying a sun-drenched getaway.
A Titanic Pose and an AI Surprise
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Carr offered a glimpse of his luxurious trip to an undisclosed sunny locale. In the initial image, he was seen channeling the iconic 'Titanic' moment at the bow of a boat, clad in a pair of skimpy bright pink Speedos and a flowing chiffon beach kaftan. The caption, however, teased fans with the instruction: 'Swipe to see the front.'
The following slide revealed the punchline: a snap of Alan that appeared to be generated by AI, transforming him into a muscle-bound Adonis with impressively toned abs and bulging biceps. The playful edit provided a classic Carr-style moment of self-deprecating humour.
Ex-Husband's Quip and Reflections on Trust
The post quickly attracted attention, including a witty comment from his ex-husband, Paul Drayton. Drayton, to whom Carr was married for three years, quipped: 'Cerise really suits you!! x.' The couple, who were together for 14 years before marrying in a 2018 ceremony officiated by Adele, announced their amicable separation in January 2022 and divorced later that year.
This lighthearted moment comes after Carr spoke candidly about the impact of his past relationships. In a recent episode of the BBC show Amanda & Alan's Greek Job, he confided in co-host Amanda Holden about feeling 'walked over' in the past. 'I don’t really trust anyone, really. That’s the trouble,' he admitted during a conversation where they reflected on their respective divorces and the fast pace of life.
Carr elaborated, expressing regret over not being bolder in the past. 'There’s times that I wish I’d said, "no", I wish I’d been a bit bolder and a bit… stronger,' he told Holden. He identified trust as his 'main thing' when it comes to the prospect of meeting someone new.
Moving Forward After Divorce
Following their split, Paul Drayton shared that he had proactively checked himself into rehab for alcoholism at the start of 2022, after a 'challenging couple of years'. In a joint statement announcing their separation, the pair requested privacy and confirmed their decision to 'go their separate ways' was made jointly and amicably.
Alan Carr's latest Instagram post perfectly showcases his ability to find humour and engage his audience, even while navigating personal challenges. By blending a classic holiday snap with cutting-edge AI trickery, the comedian continues to prove why he remains one of the UK's most beloved entertainment figures.
