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!

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.

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

I would never have pegged her as a supermodel when she was a kid. Pretty sure she had her nose done (duh).

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

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.
Dorothy Parker 6 years ago
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.
Robyn Denton 6 years ago
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'!

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.
