Aging is a very scary topic for many. A lot of us are afraid of the future when we will have wrinkles, gray hair, and saggy skin. The beauty standards today make it seem like the end of the world sometimes. Physical and facial beauty is even more important if it's a big part of your career. That's why celebrities often get plastic surgeries to look younger a little longer.

I decided to take a few celebrities and use A.I. and my editing skills to see how they would look like if they never had plastic surgery. The results are quite interesting and fun to see. Keep in mind that all of this is just out of curiosity and all is in good faith. Also, A.I. still has a long way to go, so some images may look a little wonky.

More info: Instagram

I first started this project by doing research on which celebrities have had the most plastic surgeries. Then I study other people in similar age groups so that I know what they should look like. Then I use artificial intelligence to age photos of their younger selves and edit the pictures on Photoshop to make them look better and more realistic.

I believe that in moderation, plastic surgery is very useful. When people dislike something about their looks, it hurts no one to change that aspect. Or perhaps when people get hurt or wounded, plastic surgery is a great tool to help them look like their old selves. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look the way you want to. However, when people overuse plastic surgery, not only does it not look very good, it can also be very harmful to the person undergoing the surgery.

His face was destroyed in his boxing career. He was never going to look like the image in the photo.

These days almost everyone wants to look like filters on apps. No wrinkles, stretch marks, or any other "unattractive" things about our bodies can be shown. It's really sad to see that. We're all human beings and nobody is perfect. We should accept that the marks on our bodies, the imperfections are what make us unique and beautiful. There is no need to hide them.

Madonna looks sad nowadays, imo. And I don't mean the actual emotion.

The most difficult part of this project was to make the photos look natural and resemble the celebrities. Artificial intelligence still has a lot of flaws, so I had to work with Photoshop a lot. I take time to put different hair and makeup on the celebrities. See what works, what they would look like today, etc. I try to be a perfectionist when it comes to my projects and it takes a lot of time. I hope you enjoy what I've done!

So, if she'd allowed herself to age naturally, she'd look more like her mom (Tippi Hedren) and might have held onto Antonio Banderas.... Not seeing a downside to that. (Side note: Banderas found her obsession with cosmetic enhancement troubling and it became an issue in their relationship ending.)

It seems to me that those real photo's are more horrible than the aged ones. What people do to their faces is appalling.

The right pic makes her look more like 48. She hasn’t had anything done as far I know. She looks fine in 2021 & looks in her mid thirties.

Supposedly she's had a few nose jobs and, like many of them, several boob jobs. But she still looks pretty I think!

Plastic surgery didn't help Barry Manilow, but the AI progression made him look horrible! Probably because it's biased against males. Whereas on the other hand, it made Jocelyn Wildenstein, and Melanie Griffith and look nice!

This whole "article" (and I'm using the term VERY loosely) is mean spirited. It smacks of nastiness. It's pretty easy to cast stones at others; particularly when you're very young but plastic surgery is a multi billion dollar industry so it's not just the famous who do it. It is more than just about what a person looks like, it plays on psychological issues and insecurities and so to put photos up like this is, in my mind, just kind of showing a mean side. Argue with me all you want about that but it's not very becoming to show a bit of glee in the insecurities of other people. We should try to lift others up instead of tearing them down. It doesn't matter if we know them or not.

I think Britney looks great. She doesn't look like she's had a lot done. Just her nose.

Britney, regarding eye make-up: less is more when you’re your age. Remember that.

She's got too much black around her eyes also. It's cute when you're young, but does not work as you age.

It's amazing how many would actually look better without plastic surgery. Demi Moore and Goldie Hawn really look better.

Nose, smile lines, and the lack of eye makeup on the first picture make her look like a different person

she'd definitely wouldn't look like that at 39. Also the "current" picture is from 2018, she looks better nowadays

Looks like the bulk of these celebrities would have been better off to age naturally. They mostly look like bad, slightly melted wax figures.
