Here’s What Famous Historical Figures Would Look Like Today, As Shared On This IG Page (30 Pics)
It's always fun to see paintings, cartoons or anime characters come to life when people create realistic edits of them. Inspired by that, award-winning comic book writer Magdalena Vissagio decided she would try to see how famous historical figures would look if they lived in modern times. She uses mobile apps to create these edits, specifically FaceApp and AirBrush, and the results are quite impressive.
Magdalena writes on her Twitter account: "A lot of people think I'm a digital artist or whatever, so let me clarify how I work. Everything you see here is done in Faceapp+Airbrush on my phone. On the outside, each takes between 15-30 mins."

Alexander the Great
At the airport: - Name? - Alexander. - Occupation? - No, "sightseeing".
Apps these days let you do all kinds of things, from changing the way you look to turning you into a cartoon character, to even bringing photos to life! A.I. has gone very far recently and we carry it around in our pockets. It's only a matter of time before A.I. will be a big part of our everyday lives.
Henry VIII
He looks like a really nasty terrifying headteacher i had 😱 maybe he was henry VIII in a past life!
Or a descendant of an illegitimate offspring of his...could happen.

I used to work with a guy who looked **exactly** like Henry VIII. His wife was a seamstress and made him the most amazing costume for Halloween and he was the spitting image of him.
Hahahaha....when i saw this face i think it belongs to one of our famous politician named Zmago Jelinčić🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Catherine the Great
It would be very interesting to see Abraham Lincoln or George Washington these days. What would be their views? Would they still be in politics? Would Alexander the Great conquer the world or TikTok? Too bad that we're never going to find out—we can only see how they would look thanks to Magdalena and her project.

They would have different styles, but their facial features wouldn't change.
Yes, a lot of these look nothing like their original. I guess the AI is still learning.

A few, a very few, are good. But most of them are nothing like the historical person.
What is this "artist's" obsession with making Roman emperors blonde with blue eyes? Here's a hint..... they WEREN'T. ...///... so much for that.
