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!

I love this one! I am very sad that this classiness and grace was replaced with the disgrace....

She looks very much like she did as a child only all grown up and lovely.

Awesome. I'm such a big fan of Queen, I have a cat named after Freddie Mercury. Would give infinity upvotes if I could.

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

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.

I love Madonna but she lost the botox battle. She seems more Donatela Versace then Donatela herself.
