This Artist Photoshops Celebrities Hanging Out With Their Younger Selves (30 Pics)

Ard Gelinck is Dutch graphic designer who has been photoshopping celebrities hanging out with their younger selves for the past 10 years in a photo series he calls ‘Then and Now’. Over the years, Ard has created thousands of celebrity montages and has gathered a following of almost 260k people on Instagram. The man regularly uploads new content and now he’s back again with a fresh batch of new material.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Ard said he always tries to challenge himself when it comes to photo editing. He and his brother made their first image about 10 years ago but the project really became popular around 5 years ago. The graphic designer used to edit pictures of Dutch celebrities and decided to try his hand at foreign celebrities. “The first one was Madonna, and she even posted my image on her own Instagram,” said Ard.

Since the Madonna picture, many other celebrities shared Ard’s edits, including Tina Turner, Robbie Williams, Sylvester Stallone, and many more. Even the artist himself calls the list “quite impressive”!
