Use the provided reference image of me as the **absolute and exclusive source of identity** for the man wearing the black t-shirt. Completely replace that person with my exact likeness while preserving my real facial structure, proportions, skin texture, hairstyle (or baldness), facial symmetry, and all defining traits exactly as they appear in the reference image.
Replace the man wearing the cowboy hat with **Sylvester Stallone**.
Replace the man wearing the white shirt/tank top with **Terry Crews**.
**STRICT IDENTITY RULES:**
* Do not retain any facial features from the original people
* Do not merge identities
* Do not alter or stylize faces artificially
* Preserve each person’s exact likeness with maximum realism
* If any part of the scene conflicts with the reference image of me, my reference image must override everything
* Maintain realistic skin texture, pores, asymmetry, and natural imperfections
