We tend to forget that no matter how perfect celebrities may look in movies or magazines, even they aren’t spared from aging. And Dutch graphic designer Ard Gelinck came up with a creative way to show how much celebrities changed over time by creating side-by-side photoshops of your favorite celebs with their younger selves.
In a recent interview with Bored Panda, Ard said he has been posting photos online for about 10 years. The artist ofter challenges himself to create a certain series of images, like this celebrity “then & now” series he started back in 2017. Even after Ard’s photos went viral, the man stayed humble. “I was pleasantly surprised when it was picked up by various media worldwide at the start of this year. And indeed, I got a lot of followers. And still counting. Very nice. Nice to see that you can entertain people and show something that makes them laugh and think,” says the graphic designer.
The artist says that the celebrities he chooses for his photoshops are usually random, although sometimes he may choose a specific one because their birthday is coming up. So far he has done hundreds of side-by-side celebrity photoshops, including celebs like Keanu Reeves, Julia Roberts, Clint Eastwood, and Robin Williams just to name a few. And by the looks of it, he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. He even made a “then & now” photo of himself!
