AI reimagines what A-list celebrities would look like as pensioners

Ever wondered what some of today's A-list celebrities would look like as pensioners? Well, now you can.

When we think about what me may look like when are older, we often look at our parents - and think, 'please do not look too similar to them.'

But you won't need to guess what some of your favourite celebs may look like when they are all old and grey as artificial intelligence (AI) has done it for us.

Photographer Alper Yesiltas, an incredibly talented designer from Turkey, created the portraits of the famous faces for a project titled 'Young Age(d).'

The images of these famous faces are quite frankly incredible. There are some that are near-life like to their younger counterparts, while others look barely unrecognisable.

Yesiltas has posted some of the pictures that were created using an AI photo enhancer software and photo editing programs to Instagram.

Some of the famous faces he has put the AI treatment is Harry Styles, who actually does look a lot like himself now.

The photographer has also created an older Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dua Lipa.

Also created is climate activist Greta Thunberg - who really doesn't look too similar to her younger self.

And fresh, I mean 40 years after his World Cup win in Qatar, Lionel Messi is looking rather grey, but certainly looking like the man hailed as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

After posting the portraits to Instagram, people have been reacting to how realistic they believe the AI pictures are.

Speaking on Greta Thunberg's portrait, one Instagram commenter said: "Instantly recognisable, and still full of fighting spirit in the year 2070."

Meanwhile, another Instagram user commented on Harry Styles', they said: "I think the face is on point, but there's no way he'll have that much hair."

They are not the first celebs to have AI-generated images of themselves, as the Kardashian's have also gone through the treatment.

The simulation was created by Vandahood Live, who use AI software and a couple of different standard graphics software to create the image.

The images use interviews of Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner, juxtaposed with altered images that allegedly represent what the family would look like without any surgical enhancements.
