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

Published 4 years ago

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”!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
