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!

What is the procedure that causes these women to look as if they're auditioning for the next Joker role?

She would’ve looked really good for a 76 year old, if she’d just let her face alone.

For some reason the A.I. can't comprehend that hair turns grey with age.

I doubt that any of these women would fail to color their hair until they're dead and gone. Fewer and fewer women are going with their natural grey any more.

Elvis would tell her to not smile and not frown as it would cause wrinkles.

Why can't they leave well enough alone? They look more like freaks after the surgery.

All of these plastic surgery monsters remind me of those apple-sculpture shrunken heads we used to make for Halloween.

She was the victim of an unlicensed doctor. They injected industrial silicone into her face. This was not the look she was going for.

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.
