21 Actors Who Were De-Aged Using Digital Technology To Look Younger On Screen
Every single one of us, including the richest and the most famous Hollywood celebrities, is powerless in the face of time. However, in the era of exponential technological growth, movies and TV shows are able to slightly tame it.
De-aging is a visual effects technique performed using digital editing and CGI, that allows professionals to make actors and actresses look years or even decades younger. The first movie to ever use this technique was 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, rewinding the clock for Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Since then, many others have employed de-aging techniques in their own creations.
Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to scroll down and take a look at some of the most iconic movie stars that were made to look younger using CGI and digital editing.

It gets scarier. They are closing in on the point where they can create algorithms that can mimic how an actor/actress actually acts... Meaning they can bring an actor "back from the dead" for a part and put him in a part and the result would be indistinguishable from a live actor. Am wondering when they'll learn that it's cheaper to use deceased actors and we get a new sitcom staring John Belushi and Robin Williams.

I don’t know, I mean the youngified cgi is mostly okay, but they still all look really off when they speak, or move. Also a lot of estates of these actors actually require payment for people to use the deceased’s likeness, so I’m not sure it WOULD be cheaper. Plus you’re forgetting how many people would start finding it really creepy to have new movies starring people who died forever ago.
