This A.I. Turns Celebrities Into Kids And Let's Us Get A Peek At What They May Have Looked Like Back Then
If you've ever wondered what your favorite celebrities looked like as kids, then you've come to the right post.
Childhood photos are something that many of us love looking back on to admire how things have changed. Not everyone has these childhood photos, and some are just not accessible to everyone.
Take celebrities, for example; they don't exactly have their baby photos blasted all over the internet like we see their press and paparazzi photos. That's why this person decided it would be awesome to test out some of these AI apps.
Nowadays, we have apps that can make you look older or younger or give you dog ears. Some photo filters can really freak you out with how real they look.
Well, these celebrity childhood photos were created using an AI app, mostly by a curious soul who wanted to see what they would look like as children without having to scour the internet for a celebrity baby photo. This person took 21 different well-known celebrities to see what they'd look like as children.
Most of the celebrities used in this list already have some baby photos on the internet, so it's a good comparison experiment to see just how well these AI apps did in making them look like younger versions of themselves.
If you've ever used an AI app, then you know how cool, but also creepy, they can be. I mean, isn't it wild how accurate they can be in making us look younger or older just using technology?
Let's look at these 21 images of celebrities and see how accurately these AI apps have rendered them.
1. Rita Hayworth
The black and white comparison with the AI image makes this look insane.

It's hard to picture Sylvester Stallone as a child, but here we are.

Scarlett is already young and beautiful, so this photo comparison was actually pretty easy to imagine.

4. Reese Witherspoon
Would you even recognize this as AI?

5. Justin Bieber
A lot of us grew up with Justin and can confirm he looks literally the same.

6. Rowan Atkinson
I mean, if we saw this floating around on the internet, I think we would believe it.

7. Antonio Banderas
Oh yeah, we can definitely see this one.

8. Susan Sarandon
The difference and similarity in these photos is insane.

9. Celine Dion
This one is interesting. The AI seems to retain a lot of the facial features exactly as we would imagine they would be.

10. Rihanna
The eyes seriously pop in this image, and that's where we see Rihanna in this AI rendering.

11. Ed Sheeran
Okay, something about this one feels extremely accurate.
hidreley
12. Lady Gaga
Okay, Lady Gaga is throwing us off with this one. I'm not completely sold on it because if I just saw the child picture, I don't think I would know it was Lady Gaga.

13. Mark Zuckerberg
Mark looks exactly the same, and we aren't mad at it.
hidreley
14. Robert Downey Jr.
Okay, now this one threw us off, but maybe just because his infamous beard is gone.

15. Will Smith
Will Smith... What?!
hidreley
16. Paris Hilton
We're living for the Paris hair. It's definitely believable that she wore her hair like this as a child.
hidreley
17. Jennifer Lopez
This one I'm not completely sold on. I can't exactly imagine JLo looking like this photo, and I think this is the one I wouldn't believe if it were floating around the internet.
hidreley
18. Mark Wahlberg
I'd believe this was a real childhood photo of him if I saw it.
hidreley
19. John Travolta
AI has really done a number on this one. They look literally like twins, honestly.
hidreley
20. Barack Obama
I think if we all saw him in school and he looked like this, we'd all think he'd be the one to grow up and be president one day.
hidreley
21. Luíza Brunet
Totally agree that Luíza would look just like this.
hidreley
What do you think about these AI photos? Some of them definitely could have passed for real childhood photos of these celebrities, but some couldn't honestly.
It's really wild how accurate AI is, though, and just how realistic some of these photos look. I'm curious to see what other celebrities look like when doing this experiment.
Share this post with a friend to see what they think about how accurate this AI app was.
