I Wanted To Know What 12 Celebrities Who Left Us Too Soon Would Look Like Today, So I Used A.I. To Get The Answer
Sadly, many actors, singers, and celebrities leave this world way too soon. Many fans feel heartbroken and mourn their passing for a long time. Even though they are no longer with us, they will always be in our hearts and memories. Not to mention the legacy and beauty they left behind: movies, songs, and a great impact on people, culture, and sometimes the whole world.
I decided to take artificial intelligence apps and Photoshop and see if I can revive these celebrities to see what they would look like if they were with us today. Artificial intelligence is, of course, far from perfect. Some of these images look quite creepy, some don't change the celebrity that much.

John Lennon
Born October 9, 1940.
Died December 8, 1980.
Would be 81 years old in 2021.
Most of you probably know what artificial intelligence is. It has become very popular over the past years, with a lot of artists, programmers, and even businesses starting to use it. This new technology will probably be incorporated further and further into our lives. A.I. would lessen human error, take risks instead of humans, always be ready to work and would never get tired, and many other helpful things.
Steve Irwin
Born February 22, 1962.
Died September 4, 2006.
Would be 59 years old in 2021.
David Bowie
Born January 8, 1947.
Died January 10, 2016.
Would be 74 years old in 2021.
However, there are some downsides if A.I. was incorporated into everyday life. Many say that humans would become too lazy. Using A.I. in work would result in a lot of human unemployment. The A.I. will never be as creative and emotional as humans. Also, with deepfakes becoming more and more used and popular, people fear that their identities would be stolen.
Freddie Mercury
Born September 5, 1946.
Died November 24, 1991.
Would be 75 years old in 2021.
Elvis Presley
Born January 8, 1935.
Died August 16, 1977.
Would be 86 years old in 2021.
I have created many articles using artificial intelligence previously on Bored Panda. Here's an article where I use A.I. to see what the kids of fictional couples would have looked like. If you're more interested in real couples, here's what the kids of famous ex-couples would have looked like if they'd stayed together. I also turned these 20 celebrities from the ’80s & ’90s into kids again. A.I. is a powerful and fun tool!
Lady Diana
Born July 1, 1961.
Died August 31, 1997.
Would be 60 years old in 2021.
I honestly believe that she would not have looked this old at 60. Not by far.
Bob Marley
Born February 6, 1945.
Died May 11, 1981.
Would be 76 years old in 2021.

Whitney Houston
Born August 9, 1963.
Died February 11, 2012.
Would be 58 years old in 2021.
Tupac Shakur
Born June 16, 1971.
Died September 13, 1996.
Would be 50 years old in 2021.
He would be much more handsome and young looking. Like Pharell or Keanu, this pic would be the 80 years old Tupac.
Paul Walker
Was born September 12, 1973.
Died November 30, 2013.
Would be 48 years old in 2021.
James Dean
Born February 8, 1931.
Died September 30, 1955.
Would be 90 years old in 2021.
Prince
Born June 7, 1958.
Died September April 21, 2016.
Would be 63 years old in 2021.
Marilyn Monroe
Born June 1, 1926.
Died August 4, 1962.
Would be 95 years old in 2021.
She would definitely not look so young, today she would be 97 years old, she would be much older.
Since the Queen was born the same year, wouldn't they look similar.
That's a pretty good looking 95 year old. Crazy to think she could still be alive today.
She would of definitely gotten surgery so she wouldn't of aged so much!
I think it might be more realistic if her face was a little more filled-out. Marilyn's weight fluctuated all through her life and I think it might be appropriate to show that here.
Her eyes were deep set even when she was young so yes they would have only gone back deeper as she aged...I'm sure her beautiful skin would have stayed beautiful her whole life though...
Why does a 90 year old woman look like she's not a day over 60? Oh yes, this was Hollywood. She probably had a wad of plastic surgery. LOL!
Gosh she is 30 years older and looks 20 years younger than P. Diana, does this included probable facial surgery?
My Dad's idol! (Mine was Inger Stevens... pretty much the same fate...)

Would be 63 years old in 2021.
Brandon Lee
Born February 1, 1965.
Died March 31, 1993.
Would be 56 years old in 2021.
River Phoenix
Born August 23, 1970.

Died July 23, 2011.
Would be 38 years old in 2021.
most of them are clearly to old or to young. it's an overall bad post for me.
I know that he was getting a bit old... but I still think that Robin Williams should be added
I don't. He doesn't deserve to be insulted like the people who are here are. Most of these are so ridiculously inaccurate to the point of tragic. Example; why does a 38 year old Amy Winehouse look older than a 95 year old Marilyn Munroe? There's nearly 6 decades between them.

It appears the AI they used needs a bit more work - Most of these were atrocious.
This would have been a lot better if they'd shown a photo of the subjects from right before they died next to the 'aged' photo.
RIP to all of them - and a lot of them deserved a better treatment than this. Are my skills any better? Ye gods, NO. I could NOT have done a better job. But these look rushed, and with little idea of not just aging rates but how well people took care of themselves.
Perhaps a little self-education on the aging process would be a good idea, because all of these are wildly inaccurate.
Good idea, poorly executed. Some were teally well done, but most were inconsistent with ages and all.
I think the AI was not taking into account what *could* happen ---- illness, drug use, cosmetic surgeries, how their relatives aged, etc. Big miss for me, but what do I know?
Its an entertaining idea but a lot of celebs do botox and other types of surgeries to keep them young looking. And also, a lot of them, its not accurate at all. For instance, Monroe, she would be way worse looking if she was in her mid 90's ( if she would have lived that long)
i only know michael jackson and maybe bruce Lee
