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!

Tom Hanks
Matt Leblanc
Harrison Ford
Richard Gere
Emma Watson
Michelle Obama
Ahhhh, a time when we had a first lady who didn't have nude pictures splayed all over the internet for all to behold! What a time to be alive.....God, how I miss them!!
Freddie Mercury
Awesome. I'm such a big fan of Queen, I have a cat named after Freddie Mercury. Would give infinity upvotes if I could.
Barack Obama
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.

Evil. Hellbent on destroying America and the rest of the West. We will have to wait fecades to learn the full scope of his agenda, his actions and the damage his presidency has caused, such as division of America through identity politics which took us back to the 1960s.
We already know the mistakes made by Obama. Trump's insane legacy is about to be exposed. At least Obama would never rob billions from Medicare and Social Security, which is Trump's latest criminal plan.

There is no man alive that could come close to his intellect, kind, good nature and family man, there will never be a man or president to fill his shoes, !!!
Who's gonna grow up to be President? You are! You are! Yes, you are! Yes, you are!
He was/is a nice man. Not a great President. History will prove that. Trump maybe not such a nice man but a Great President! History will prove that as well!

He may not have pleased everyone, but he did his best, honesty, best policy for the people, compared to all the lies, with the one they just got rid of, I miss President Obama !!!
he was super adorable as a child... and he turned into a real man... so rare these days!
Lena, The problem with today's environment is that THE BEST PERSON for the office of President will NEVER BE elected or doesn't want to put up with the BS of the media and people in general. Obama is a nice man. He is not a leader!
OMG what an adorable little boy! President Obama is a nice looking man.
The coolest President EVER! This man is a Rock Star. And now, seeing the chaos Agent Orange has unleashed upon the world, I bet no one dares say about Obama that he wasn't a capable president.
Except for that time he used the IRS to go after conservative groups. Or Benghazi. Or Fast and Furious. Or the 40 veterans that died while waiting for care from a Phoenix VA facility. And many more that the media chose to downplay or ignore.

I love love him! The intelligence, thought/prayer and love he put into his job and the respect he showed for everyone especially his beautiful wife and girls!
To bad he grew up...but even worse...to bad he grew up to the presidick!
Unlike Putin's puppet? That fool you voted into office because he's white?

Mick Jagger
He's earned that face. I saw him in a store in NYC in the early 1980s. Before I recognized him, the fact that he was incredibly sexy registered right away. Whew.
Beyonce
Robbie Williams
David Hasselhoff
Most of us go thru stages of life where we are complete buttheads but David came out of it alright. He is a kind man with a great sense of humour. So as they say don't knock it till you've walked a mile in their shoes. Take care Coreen
Kate Moss
Carice Van Houten
she plays the Red woman in Game of thrones, the artist of these manipulations is Dutch, so it's not weird that she has done this manipulation for one of the biggest Dutch stars.
Madonna
I love Madonna but she lost the botox battle. She seems more Donatela Versace then Donatela herself.
On one hand, I'm glad he doesn't have access to my photos; on the other, I wish we could all be big brother/sister to ourselves
Good gravy, Patrick Stewart was just as gorgeous in th 1970s! Mmmmm!

NO keanu reeves???? that would of been the best one, fancy forgetting keanu. shame on you.
I really love what this photog has done, but it would have been so much more impressive if the "current" photos actually were. Most of the pics of the "today" stars seem to be at LEAST 10 years old.
So many of the threads go on too long, this wasn't long enough. These are so wonderfully done. And yes, I'm attached to too many of these performers.
Nothing against Ziggy, but I would've liked to have seen the contrast between an older Bowie with The Thin White Duke.
These are really well done, and oh my, you can really tell who has had cosmetic surgery, and who has allowed themselves to age gracefully, can't you?! Personally, I think 'natural' is the way to go, but not 'let yourself go'!
#10 Bowie, made the air in my throat catch. WOW.... They are all really great Photoshop'd images but that one.....
Some have aged very well some not so well. Knowing the story behind her breasts, for #15, Christina Applegate, it is just all the more sad.
