30 Famous Portraits Given A Smile Using FaceApp And It’s Both Creepy And Hilarious

If there’s one thing that a lot of famous painted portraits have in common, it’s that most of them don’t show people smiling. Unless it’s Joseph Ducreux , of course. However, someone decided to change that and gave a handful of famous portraits FaceApp makeovers.

Have you ever wondered how the people in American Gothic would look smiling? Or Frida? Or Beethoven? Well, the short answer is that they look pretty funny – and kind of creepy. So maybe there’s a reason most of them aren’t smiling.
