Celebrities are usually held to high scrutiny: they have to always look good, be charming, virtuous, talented, and presentable to the cameras. Hence their public image is near flawless—looking like a regular person would certainly cause a ruckus in the tabloid pages. Which is why being always exposed to stars somewhat annoys us, and we want to see a certain chink in their armor of public image.
A person that goes by the name of Planet Hiltron on social media provides us this guilty pleasure. Planet Hiltron photoshops celebrities to look like an average person: no thousand-dollar haircut, no jewelry and designer clothes, wearing less-than-perfect makeup, making bad style choices, and so on. It's hilariously called a "makeunder" that stands as the opposite of a makeover, where things are upgraded as they're changed.

Still cute! Almost more good looking because she looks more friendly. I would totally like to be friends with This girl!
I remember seeing her in Ghost World (which I loved). I thought she was awesome. I hoped she would get other roles, but stupidly didn't think she would because she didn't seem like the normal "leading lady" type to me. I'm glad I was wrong! I think she's awesome. Also, not enough people recognize the importance of an actor's voice in getting roles.
She looks like those female NASA scientists/astronauts whom I look up to.
The realities of being celebrity are nerve-wracking. I don't believe that being perfect is something that they want to be, but they're required to as a part of their profession. As perfect as they may look on camera, most of them probably just want to eat a cake, lay back and forget their obligations. And it's not that being a bit overweight, or dressing casualy is automatically associated with the people with "lesser status," on the contrary, it says something about unrealistic and inhumane expectations that celebrities have to uphold. Danny Evans, the creator of the page, gives us a glimpse of an alternative reality.
Kardashians
If all the plastic and silicone is removed, they will look like this.
And household staff, nutritionists, cooks, personal trainers, stylists, hair and makeup people, expensive custom corsets and other foundations, etc etc etc.

Jennifer Aniston
And because of this, we can see them as mere mortals, or enviously think what they would've looked like if they hadn't broke through into stardom. And as strange as it is, it's somewhat easier to imagine that they are more approachable, or could be someone that we may meet in our lives. It's a reminder that stars aren't that far away as the public image wants you think.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Rihanna
Yes, but she looks like she works in the accounting department at Dunder Mifflin
Load More Replies...Hair does not define her...she could shave her head and still be striking
Rihanna, with a face like yours don't ever wear your hair/wig like that again...never hide any of that gorgeous face!
People had varying reactions in regards to this. Some see it as harmless entertainment—no celebrities were harmed in the making of these photos—while others have, perhaps accurately, noted that being fat, or out of shape, having bad makeup, and other details are unfairly associated with poor people. What are your thoughts? Tell us in the comments below!

You know what? Screw you all with the "this is so ugly" bull c**p. This is what getting old really looks like and there's NOTHING wrong with that.
I could not agree with you more! Apparently even BP really digs age shaming, and it's UGLY.

Why are they all large? Not everyone in ‘real life’ let’s themselves go you know!
I don't think this implies it. State of the matter is, celebrities CAN'T let themselves go, no matter what.
Load More Replies...These pictures are all fakes a la National Enquirerer . Remember they had blackened the picture of O.J. Simpson just to make him look more sinister . Dont believe any of this c**p .

Bea Arthur. I thought they were supposed to be ‘regular people’ not other celebs.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie
Late eighties would pretty much be age-appropriate for them. And since a lot of people don’t update their style from the last time they felt they looked real good (think of all the grandparents with dated hairstyles and clothes—-not to mention home decor), the hair and clothing would probably be accurate, even for a recent picture.

I am shocked that this picture made it into the list. She has bipolar and depression and Bored Panda chooses a picture where she is clearly emotionally distressed. Does this mean using mental illness as a joke is now okay with you?
Jennifer Lopez
Still gorgeus. Why do they just add kilos and think that would make them less gorgeous?
No one said anything about being less gorgeous lol? Why would you assume that was the goal, all it said was making them every day people......? JLo spends around 4 hours a day at the gym. Every day people can't do this, my only question is why are so many of them obese? lol

Yep. What an average person's hair looks like after many years of self home dye jobs with no cut
This woman sells snake oil as she rakes in the dough. All while getting money from Chris in the divorce. I can no longer stand her.

“...If you will recall last Sunday, I specifically said, in front of the whole congregation, that everyone participating in the bake sale MUST sign up for what to bring. And now, that is why we have exactly TWO tables with marshmallow squares and ZERO with brownies without walnuts. So you can see why this is an issue, can’t you, Susan?”

Fat and with bad hair... that's not much of an effort.
Load More Replies...Yeah and apparently we’re all stuck fashion-wise in the late 80/early 90s.
Load More Replies...I have the feeling those are pretty old (like a few years) and just resurfacing. Well, maybe it's just the concept that I've seen before.
