Young pandas probably don't know the celebrities that were the most successful in the '80s and '90s, or their memory is somewhat hazy. Some can easily be remembered, but only because they managed to bask in the sunlight of stardom and attention throughout these decades, going into the oughts, teens, and the upcoming '20s. In any case, don't worry, I'm here to refresh your memory.

I was inspired by the atmosphere and the nostalgia of the past decades. I wondered what these incredible idols would look like if they were just kids at their celebrity "prime time." I did it because, well, I was just curious about it. I used artificial intelligence through certain cell phone apps. I used applications that are easy to use, but some of them require payment. I used FaceApp, Gradient, Remini and a little bit of Photoshop to make it prettier and more accurate.

I'm a frequent contributor to Bored Panda, as I publish posts about other artists, as well as my own original work. Here (III) are some of the most recent examples of my previous original contributions, where I dabbled in AI and Photoshop as well. I have been using photoshop for 10 years, participating in various contests. I love to mess with the images of celebrities, I have a lot of fun doing it! Knowing that we can create anything through digital art fascinates me. But I can't just silently archive my creations, I need to show them to my friends and others. Suggestions always help me to improve.

Nowadays I don't have the time I had in the past. When I took part in photoshop contests I kept my creativity up to date, I don't participate anymore because all the sites that used to do these contests are now closed. But whenever I have free time, I create something to show to my friends and you, fellow readers! If you like what I do you can follow me on Instagram and Bored Panda to get the latest updates on what I'm doing.

this is funny; they're wearing the same expression and they look so different...in a way.

"It's not accurate." 😆Geeee, that must have taken a ton of your brain power to think that. It's a computer animation and photoshop picture. You're quite stupid 🙄

But he was famous as a kid too, we know what he actually looked like, and this ain't it

I have to wonder how accurate these are, given this one is not accurate at all.

For laughs I would like to have seen the reverse aging of “white” Michael.

Not even close. We have pictures of him as a child star anyway.

Are you sure you didn't get Michael Jackson's results mixed up with those for M. Night Shyamalan? Seriously, thouh, just about everyone already knew what Michael Jackson looked like as a kid, and that rendition on the right is far from it. But I guess that's due more to Michael on the left's plastic surgery and skin lightening (artificial or not).

Hed had surgery at that point so the kid version should have darker skin

Please leave him alone - Sad figure, sad fate and everyone knows how sad his story is. How can you do a child picture of Michael, when we all know how he really looked like. It's disrespectful to black Americans and in fact all Americans.

I see no disrespect. It's not the AI's fault that the picture they used was MJ after his surgeries. If they had taken a picture where he was younger, he'd have looked different as an artificial kid. So 🤷‍♂️

I think they just removed the visible makeup off her and made her dimples smaller but it’s still impressive
