Aging’s an interesting thing and a great equalizer—you probably won’t notice the small changes that happen to you over the weeks, months, and years from your day-to-day glances in the mirror. However, the moment that you take a step back and compare yourself as you are now to a photo from before, you realize just how much the flow of time affects us all. And our beloved celebrities feel it just as much as we do.
Ard Gelinck, a Dutch graphic designer, photoshops well-known actors, musicians, and other celebrities side-by-side with their younger selves in cool poses and gives us a unique glance at just how much they’ve changed over the years. With over a decade of experience working with Photoshop on the ‘Then and Now’ series, Ard has amassed a loyal following on Instagram, with over 290k people eagerly awaiting his next post.
