I Wanted To Know How 25 Celebrities Who Left Us Too Soon Would Be Now, So I Used A.I. To Get The Answer (New Pics)
Over the years, we've had to say goodbye to a number of well-known figures from the entertainment industry, particularly from Hollywood. Some of these talented people have left us far too soon, therefore I couldn't help but wonder how they would look if they were still alive today.
With the help of modern technology, I answer this question by using artificial intelligence software to recreate some of the most famous people as older versions of themselves in the year 2022. See how celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and even Elvis Presley would look if they were still with us today.

Anne Frank
Born June 12, 1929.
Died February or March 1945 (15 years).
Would be 93 years old in 2022.
Awww…and the memories she would share…Looks like a lovely and generous person, someone who has been through hardships and knows life’s deepest pits… A very convincing Anne.
She looks kind of like my mom. Mom was crazy but had a good heart; I miss her
In my last post, I mentioned that I found out about artificial intelligence and its possibilities while searching for new stories and artists to share on Bored Panda. I was inspired by amazing art and decided to challenge myself and come up with something original and entertaining. Continuing on, I decided to make part 3 to this series, given how much positive feedback I received on the last post.
Michael Clarke Duncan
Born December 10, 1957.
Died September 3, 2012.
Would be 65 years old in 2022.
Yes, and I feel he was an awesome person as well.

Born June 1, 1926.
Died August 5, 1962.
Would be 96 years old in 2022.
Marilyn's sister, Berniece gives you a much more accurate idea of what she'd look like https://images.app.goo.gl/UWrdUZRcoM9HAdNd7
I love the photo, but I don't think that is an accurate depiction of a 96 year old, at least, none of the 96 year olds I know. They all have wrinkles, of course, but also age spots, scars, and all the rest of the traces almost a century of life leaves on your face and body.
My age spots, crepey skin, silver stripes, etc. don't bother me in the least at 51. But I still won't post my real pic for various reasons.
Load More Replies...Marilyn like a knit-a-ton granny? With the warm tea and biscuits and all? I don’t think so. But I would love so much to look so handsome in my retirement years
That was a lot of assumptions you made from a picture.
Load More Replies...I don't see it. The older woman looks nothing like Marilyn would look today.
Most people think that artificial intelligence is the study and development of computer systems capable of doing activities that would ordinarily require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation, which is true, but one shouldn't forget that it can be used art-wise as well.
Diana, Princess Of Wales
Born July 1, 1961.
Died August 31, 1997.
Would be 60 years old in 2022.
I think she would have aged a bit more ... the only thing they changed, really, was her hair colour. I'm betting she would have had a different hairstyle too :) .
She said I have birthdays just a few days apart, but I'll be 61 this year.
I was thinking the same....she would have been 61 this year. I was born in 61 also but in August.
Load More Replies...Elvis Presley
Born January 8, 1935.
Died August 16, 1977.
Would be 87 years old in 2022.
great AI but irl too thin ... and you think Elvis wouldn't have had surgery ?
He had plastic surgery at 40~~if you read Linda Thompson's book [She dated EP for 5 yrs, ugly thing].
Load More Replies...Wait, Elvis and Anne Frank are 6 years apart? I never think about them being in the same generation.
Bingo! He was born blonde. Made Priscilla die her lite-brown hair too...& pile it high [back-comb it]. Didja see the tasteless hick's wedding foto? 2 hillbillies.
Load More Replies...I combine a couple of softwares when working on my creations (especially on my series where I turn cartoon characters into modern-day humans), I won't say the names, but what about guessing in the comments? The winner gets an upvote! Either way, let me know which image was your favorite, and why. I'd love to know your opinion.
Heather O'Rourke (The Little Girl From The Movie "Poltergeist)
Born December 27, 1975.

Everybody ages differently… Like look at shakira

No reason you should be downvoted for not knowing who someone is.

Jonathan Brandis

Died November 12, 2003.
Would be 45 years old in 2022.
Dang, I forgot he died. I had such a crush on him back in the days. :-(
It's sad that according to AI, he'd still have that pimple above his lip.
No accurate at all. Jonathan was balding at 27 and would look like Joey Lawrence and would be a director
These posts assume no one ever gains weight or loses hair.

Prince was such a gorgeous man, he would've looked much better than that!
I agree! He definitely would not have changed that drastically in 6 years!!

Would be 51 years old in 2022.
why does he look like tim meadows in a bald cap??! lol no shade, fan of both
Bull's eye! His skeptical look [hole btwn brows] shows he doen't trust anyone, always on look-out. 'Cuz he knew being in a gang was dangerous & downright stoopid [sic].
Load More Replies...Too bad he has lost his pyramid shaped skull with the age...
Brian Jones
Born 28 February 1942.
Died July 3rd, 1969.
Would be 80 years old in 2022.
Jayne Mansfield
Born April 19, 1933.
Died June 29, 1967.
Would be 89 years old in 2022.
We should all hope we age this well. No age spots, no crepey skin, just a few artfully placed wrinkles....
If you want to see Jayne Mansfield personified, check out her daughter, Mariska.
How come the men gat wrinkles and sagging faces as they age but the women do not or are we presuming they all would have botox and face lifts?
Dennis Wilson
Born December 4, 1944.
Died December 28, 1983.
Would be 78 years old in 2022.
Yeah, IIRC he fell off the boat while drunk, and just... didn't resurface. Extra tragic/ironic, as he was the only Beach Boy who was actually a surfer.
Load More Replies...I think he would look much older due to living a hard life. This makes him look 60 or so.
I love these photos, but I don't think this looks like a 78 year old... only one with access to powerful cosmetic solutions and surgery.
He dove into Marina Del Ray to recover his ex wife’s belongings, that were there for 3 years, after drinking all day. He blacked out and drown.
Ayrton Senna
Born March 21, 1960.
Died 1 May 1994.
Would be 62 years old in 2022.
The GOAT of F1. Gave away millions of dollars to feed and educate poor children in Brazil.
And, like George Michael, he never made a fuss about it . He just did it because it was the right thing to do ❤️
Brad Renfro
Born July 25, 1982.

holy crrap!! i didn't know he died!! the client was one of my favorite movies! DAMN!!
Keith Moon
Born 23 August 1946.
Died 7 September 1978.
Would be 76 years old in 2022.
I doubt at 76 he'd be wearing the exact same hairdo as in 1978. How many men do?
As a hairdresser, I will tell you that most men never change their style lol
Load More Replies...I think this is another very optimistic progression. If you look at The Who today, they all have aged differently than this image the-who-3-...1240e0.jpg
George Washington Feb. 22, 1732: 290 years old. (shows a verrrry old man in a wheelchair looking nothing like the portrait on the bill).
No, he most likely would not have hair. Especially the same damn haircut!
Amy Winehouse
Born 14 September 1983.
Died 23 July 2011.
Would be 39 years old in 2022.
No reason why you would, though -- she was only 27 when she died. If she'd gotten clean & sober, she wouldn't have looked much older at 39. (And it breaks my heart to think of the music she could have made!)
Load More Replies...Seriously? With her habits: smoking, drinking, drugs, she'd look at least 55 on her 39th birthday. She looks younger and more photoshopped in the second photo.
Being a drug addict, I think she's get even more thin... and then wrinkly, not glowy-skinned.
Jeff Buckley
Born November 17, 1966.

Cory Monteith

Just wait until you get to the episode they made when he died. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

Drugs and alcohol will do that to you. Picture on the right is once she got clean & sober, I'm sure.
Load More Replies...Barely looks like her at all. I see none of her personality in that recreation.
Cass Elliot
Born September 19, 1941.

Dana Plato
Born November 7, 1964.

Michael Jackson
Born August 29, 1958.
Died June 25, 2009.
Would be 64 years old in 2022.
Oh, please, we all know he would never have let his lines get that deep or his forehead have an "almost there" wrinkle.
And somehow his nose grew back to normal.
Load More Replies...The nose grew back, when he got old? And when did he started to turn back to color, instead of this dead-white face?
Even the AI was confused by Michael Jackson's cosmetic surgery. A bit ironic that the AI added pigment back to his skin too. Michael had vitiligo and would have still been pale as a ghost from the pills he took for the condition.
Kurt Cobain
Born February 20, 1967.
Died April 5, 1994.
Would be 55 years old in 2022.
LOL that is EXACTLY what I said out loud as well when I saw that ... horror.
Load More Replies...Anyone else think of Harry from Dumb and Dumber while looking at the aged photo?!?!🤣🤣🤣
He looks Crispin Glover playing Andy Warhol playing Harry from dumb and dumber.
Load More Replies...He got a shave & red deleted from eyes...which may mean he quit drugs? Nice improvement. Shaving doesn't matter. Only the Ku Klux Klown in Fla dyes his hair at 76. Would Kurt be so vain at 44?
Load More Replies...You just turned a grunge rock legend into a regular dude. I don’t think so. Try again.
There are no grunge rock "legends." D'ya mean skanks?
Load More Replies...No. Who is the artist that paints the Campbell soup cans? That is who the guy on the right might be. Warhol.
Wow, he looks freakishly good for a guy with that many bad habits. I think AI has really high hopes in this situation.
I thought these were all pretty unrealistic...they all look decades younger than the age they were depicted, and most seemed to be just airbrushed and slightly wrinkled versions of their younger selves. Authentic aging comes with changes to skin color, skin texture, hair thinning, nose lengthening, sagging jowls, weight changes, and all the rest.
I agree but didn't want to say it - you've been downvoted, which is why I didn't want to post in the first place...
Load More Replies...I'm sorry but too many of these older "images", have skin that have no blemishes, thus they don't look "aged". It's why they are called "age spots". They look completely airbrushed. I appreciate the attempt, but some of these, I just couldn't see. Especially since the originals, actually had blemishes. Just being real.
I have seen another version of AI with Kurt Cobain that was more realistic and the Carrie Fisher is awful- nothing like her.Unfortunately AI doesn't understand skin conditions and smoking.
Load More Replies...None of the women have sagging eyelids. Their eyes look so young and bright as if they have upper eyelid correction or a browlift. Most women look soo much more tired at that age because of those upper eyelids. I could only wish I grew old like that.
