These 50 Pics Of Celebrities Hanging Out With Their Younger Selves Show How Aging Changes Even The Stars
Imagine if you could go back in time and meet your younger, wilder self? What words of advice would you have? Dutch artist Ard Gelinck hasn't invented the time machine just yet, but his brilliantly photoshopped images of iconic people and their younger versions might just be the next best thing.
The seemingly posed photographs depict celebrities such as Freddy Mercury, Tom Hanks and Madonna side by side in before-and-after versions of themselves, looking for all the world like best buddies hanging out and having a great time together. We here at Bored Panda have selected our favorite of Ard's works, which you can see below. Which are your favorites? Let us know in the comments!

Actually she's never done anything other than good. Michelle Obama is a big activist for child obesity, she funded hundreds of tennis courts to be built all around America for kids in the city to exercise on, held a White House dinner to help mentor young girls, and started the company 'let girls learn,' to help girls around the world be able to go to school!

Ditto. I think lots of us all over the world felt an increase of respect for the majority of Americans who were smart enough to elect the best candidate, regardless of colour, creed or in some cases despite the political party he represented, purely because he was the best person for the job. America showed us how it's done from 2009-2017.

Heard proved NOTHING except that her best friend, the makeup artist knew how to apply something that resembled a red mark! There was no swelling, and the next night, she was out laughing and partying, with a pic taken of the right side of her face, and VOILA! No red mark! No fake bruises around her eye! No matte eyeshadow anywhere! And, I know, as I have made such bruises for a friend when she needed to get a restraining order against my abusive stepbrother!

He's made a big impact on all the children in hospitals he's gone to as Captain Jack Sparrow, on his time, often paying for a helicopter to land on the pad on top of the hospital, so he could go in and entertain the kids, often 4 or more hours! Then leave and cry for the ones that he knew weren't going to live very much longer. And, a lot of us really love his movies. I'm 62 and I've always liked him.

Madonna
Baron Simone Von Bianco 6 years ago
She was used to be such icon and it's so sad to say she's mostly a sellout nowadays. In the past she collaborated with stellar, iconic producers (Jellybean Benitez, Shep Pettibone, William Orbit, Nellee Hooper, Nile Rodgers, etc) and "strangely" the records she made in that period (1983-2005), ALL won a Grammy (and a plethora of other prizes). She turns afterwards to more sought-out people like Pharrell Williams and all suddenly her music simply becomes terrible. The Madonna of today is exactly like the other pop-products of nowadays. Even if you supported her for more than 20 years as a fan, you can't go from buying gold like "True Blue" to buying c**p like "MDNA". It's humanly and morally impossible.
Lois Harach 6 years ago
I have never bought one of her albums. I never bought tramp! And, basically, through the years, she's proven herself to be just that! I liked a handful of her songs, but she did so many sac-religious videos, I changed the station when her videos came on. I really liked La Isla Bonita, a lot, then saw the video of her holding her rosary, as if she was a good Catholic girl. Sac-religious! I haven't watched a video since the 90's, when the song was 'Take A Bow'. I really liked the song, but have never liked anything she put out since.

Besides, Batman's awesome. Current George: You're gonna avoid this one like the plague. Your costume's gonna have bat nipples and a bat a*s. Worse than that, it's gonna have a Bat credit card in it. 80s George: Oh dear God no!

She jumps on the bandwagon of every cause that’s popular and exploits it.

She lived a charmed life but loves to play the tortured artist role.

Brilliant Aussie icon who spoke out about the Zionist oligarch that rules Hollywood and most major institutions ie: Federal Reserve etc. You say he's a terrible person for voicing his personal opinion? Yet, the same Zionists that he condemned, you all are condemning now? Weinstein, Lookstein, Cohen, Steinhardt, Keyes, Katsav, Franken, Moonves, Hoffman, Tambor, Piven, Allen, Toback, Ratner, Horowitz, Halperin, Oreskes, Levine, Lopate, Schwartz, Ailes, Batali, Rose, O’Reilly, Keillor, Spacey and Lauer...just to name a few that were involved in sexual allegations throughout the political world and inside the Elite Hollyweird Circles. Mel took a huge risk to his career to speak how he felt, considering the industry he works in is run by the Jewish community.
