    30 Celebrities Photoshopped Side By Side With Their Younger Selves Show How Aging Has Changed Them (New Pics)


    Time waits for no person, no matter how famous they are. Whether we like it or not, our favorite stars and most beloved celebrities are growing older, just like us. However, in our imaginations, they usually still look like their younger selves on the screen and on the stage, when they helped shape our childhoods and teenage years.

    Dutch graphic designer Ard Gelinck gives us a fresh perspective on how stars change over time by creating natural-looking photoshopped images of them posing with their younger selves. The ‘Then and Now’ picture series is incredibly popular and has earned Ard a following of over 301k people on Instagram. What’s more, Ard’s work is so good that celebrities themselves express their love for his photoshops.

    Ard was kind enough to answer Bored Panda’s questions. He told us that it’s definitely the cast of the hit TV show Friends that is the most popular among his fans. “They were and still are mega-popular worldwide because this show was aired all over the world.” He added that his recent post with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez was also very successful because they got back together and this was all over the news. Ard also said that he had to find a “respectful and lovely way to honor” beloved actress Betty White who recently passed away.

    Bored Panda also reached out for comment to celebrity expert Mike Sington who is known as Hollywood’s Ultimate Insider. “Seeing our favorite stars we grew up with grow older and older along with us can be overwhelming, but with a change in mindset, it can be comforting too. Realize that stars are no different than you or me, we’re all growing older and older together, and it’s happening at the exact same rate,” he said. Read on for our full interviews with Ard and Mike.

    Betty White

     

    Ard explained that the images of beloved stars who passed away also get lots of reactions and lovely comments. “For example, stars like Amy Winehouse, George Michael, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and recently Betty White and Bob Saget remain very popular among fans,” he told Bored Panda.

    When it came to honoring Betty White, Ard decided to “put her back together with her other ‘Golden Girls’ friends on the clouds in the sky, as they are reunited in heaven.”

     

    Morgan Freeman

    Pink

     

    Bored Panda was also interested to learn more about Ard’s favorite celebs who he thinks have gotten better at what they do with age.

    “There are a few,” he said. “For example, I think Harry Styles has gone through a lot of development in music style and his voice.

    This also applies to Miley Cyrus, she has grown from a child star to a major global star. Lady Gaga surprised me in a positive way. She was very good in ‘A Star Is Born.’ But there are so many more…”

    Celebrity expert Mike told Bored Panda that when celebrities age naturally, it takes the stress out of aging. “With the internet, everyone knows how old you are anyway. If you accept it, and not fight it, it makes life so much easier,” he told Bored Panda.

    “With stars, aging naturally can actually help you get more work, contrary to what many think. Once a star’s face appears altered or ‘worked on,’ they actually lose work. Trying to fight aging can end a career.”

     

    Jason Momoa

    Paul Rudd

    Bill Murray

     

    Celeb expert Mike told Bored Panda that Meryl Streep is the “gold standard of celebrities.” Over decades of work, she’s definitely gotten better and better with age.

    “And here’s the important part: she has wisely accepted her age, and has never tried to fight it. So we, as the audience, accept it too. That has led to her work being embraced and honored throughout her life, and ours too.”

     

    Kate Winslet

    Harrison Ford

    Robert Downey

     

    “There are millions of photos from those celebs so the combinations are endless, you just have to see it,” Ard told Bored Panda earlier that he won’t be running out of ideas any time soon.

    “Sometimes, I react to a news item, a birthday, or day of death and then post an edit of that celeb as an honor or celebration,” he told us how he decides what project to work on next.

     

    Sophia Loren

    Bon Jovi

    John Cleese

     

    The graphic designer explained that, on average, he spends around an hour working on most images. However, more complex photos obviously take far longer, for example, up to two or even three hours. Similarly, if the poses are easier to fit together, the time spent photoshopping a particular ‘Then and Now’ image can drop down to just half an hour. Ard said that sometimes the search he does for the best possible photos can take longer than the actual edits.

     

    Ricky Gervais

    Sean Connery

    Angelina Jolie

     

    The graphic designer suggests that the people hoping to do what he does start off by getting Adobe Photoshop and learning to use it. “Just begin and try and practice a lot until, in my case, you have the luck that a lot of people like it,” he said that you won’t know what impact you can have on the world until you give it a try and put your work out there.

     

    Christina Applegate

    Will Smith

    Charlize Theron

     

    “I love the reactions from all over the world and see and read how it can make people smile and make them even emotional sometimes. Also, the list of celebs who shared my work is getting longer and longer. The biggest stars like Madonna, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Jones, Michael Douglas, Tina Turner, Rob Lowe, Gary Barlow, Ricky Gervais, and Snoop Dogg have all shared my creations and that also keeps me excited and gives me the energy to keep on doing this,” he shared.

     

    Jennifer Aniston

    Marilyn Monroe

    Britney Spears

     

    Ard shared his first ‘Then and Now’ picture over 10 years ago. At first, he focused on featuring celebs from the Netherlands. However, after getting a very warm reception, the graphic designer decided to photoshop stars from around the world as well.

    “About 5 years ago, I edited pictures for a lot of Dutch celebrities and it was a success, so I then started working with foreign celebrity photos. The first one was Madonna, and she even posted my image on her own Instagram,” he told Bored Panda earlier.

  • General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Received Brennan’s Letter Before His Death — A Hidden Message Changes Everything

     

    General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Received Brennan’s Letter Before His Death — A Hidden Message Changes Everything


    A Mysterious Letter From Jack Brennan Could Reveal A Dangerous Secret As Carly Corinthos Spencer Finds Herself At The Center Of A New Port Charles Mystery

    Port Charles is about to be shaken by another shocking revelation as General Hospital delivers a storyline filled with secrets, unanswered questions, and emotional consequences. Upcoming spoilers suggest that Carly Corinthos Spencer may have received a mysterious letter from Jack Brennan shortly before his apparent death — and the message inside could completely change the direction of the investigation.

    For Carly, the letter may become more than just a final communication.

    It could be a warning.

    A confession.

    Or a carefully planned clue designed to expose the truth.

    Brennan was never a person who acted without purpose. His decisions were often calculated, and his connections throughout Port Charles created countless questions. If he sent Carly a letter before his death, there is likely a reason he chose her as the person who needed to receive his final message.

    Now, Carly must determine what Brennan wanted her to know — and whether the information could put her and the people she loves in danger.

    Carly receives Brennan's last letter before he dies on General Hospital


    Brennan’s Final Message Creates A New Mystery

    Jack Brennan’s story has been surrounded by uncertainty from the beginning.

    As a powerful and unpredictable figure, Brennan created enemies while also forming complicated alliances. His actions left many people wondering what his true goals were and who he could actually trust.

    That is why the discovery of a letter sent before his death could be extremely important.

    A final message from someone like Brennan would likely contain information that he believed was too important to leave unsaid.

    The letter could reveal:

    • The identity of someone working against him
    • A warning about a hidden threat
    • Evidence connected to his enemies
    • Information about events that have remained unexplained

    The timing of the letter makes the situation even more suspicious.

    Why did Brennan choose Carly?

    Why did he wait until shortly before his death?

    And what did he know that others did not?


    Carly Corinthos Spencer Becomes The Key To The Truth

    Carly has always been someone who gets pulled into complicated situations.

    Throughout her years in Port Charles, she has survived betrayals, family conflicts, and dangerous situations involving powerful people.

    Her strength has always been her ability to protect the people she loves.

    However, Brennan’s letter could place Carly in a difficult position.

    If the message contains sensitive information, Carly may have to decide whether to reveal everything or keep certain details private while she investigates further.

    Carly understands that information can be dangerous.

    The wrong person learning what Brennan wrote could create serious consequences.

    She may need to be careful about who she trusts.


    Jason Morgan Could Help Carly Uncover The Meaning Behind The Letter

    Whenever Carly faces a mystery involving danger and secrets, Jason Morgan is often one of the first people she turns to.

    Jason has experience dealing with complicated situations where the truth is hidden beneath layers of deception.

    If Carly shares Brennan’s letter with Jason, he may immediately begin analyzing the message.

    Jason may ask questions that others overlook.

    Why was Carly chosen?

    Was Brennan trying to protect someone?

    Was the letter written because Brennan knew something was about to happen?

    Jason’s ability to recognize threats could become essential as Carly tries to understand Brennan’s final warning.

    Sonny Corinthos Faces Another Complicated Situation

    The contents of Brennan’s letter could also have consequences for Sonny Corinthos.

    Sonny understands the dangers of secrets better than almost anyone in Port Charles. He knows that information can change alliances and create unexpected enemies.

    If Brennan’s message involves people connected to Sonny’s world, the consequences could be significant.

    Sonny may want Carly to be careful.

    He may question Brennan’s true intentions.

    And he may wonder whether the letter is a genuine attempt to reveal the truth or part of a larger strategy.

    With Brennan gone, there may be no easy way to confirm his motives.


    Could Brennan Have Known He Was In Danger?

    One of the biggest questions surrounding the letter is whether Brennan knew something was about to happen to him.

    If he sent Carly a final message before his death, it could suggest that he suspected danger.

    Perhaps Brennan knew someone was coming after him.

    Perhaps he discovered a betrayal.

    Or perhaps he created a plan designed to continue even after he was gone.

    A person like Brennan would understand the importance of preparation.

    He may have believed that leaving behind information was the only way to ensure the truth eventually came out.


    Carly Must Decide Who Deserves To Know The Truth

    One of Carly’s biggest challenges will be deciding how much information to share.

    Keeping secrets can create problems, but revealing the wrong information can also be dangerous.

    If the letter exposes someone powerful, Carly may need to consider the consequences before making her next move.

    She may consult Jason.

    She may involve Sonny.

    Or she may quietly investigate on her own.

    Carly has always been willing to take risks when protecting her family.

    But this time, the mystery may be bigger than anything she expected.

    Here's What GH Fans Think Carly Should Do About Jack Brennan - Soap Opera  Digest


    The Letter Could Expose A Larger Conspiracy

    In true General Hospital fashion, one clue often leads to an even bigger mystery.

    Brennan’s letter may not only explain what happened to him.

    It could reveal connections between multiple storylines happening throughout Port Charles.

    The message could expose hidden alliances.

    It could reveal someone’s betrayal.

    Or it could point toward a person nobody suspected.

    A single letter could become the evidence that changes everything.


    Other Characters May Be Pulled Into The Investigation

    If the information in Brennan’s letter becomes public, many residents of Port Charles could become involved.

    People who were connected to Brennan may face questions.

    Those who benefited from his disappearance may become suspicious.

    And those who believed the mystery was over may discover that the real story is only beginning.

    The investigation could create new conflicts and force characters to confront uncomfortable truths.


    What Fans Can Expect From General Hospital’s Upcoming Episodes

    The upcoming episodes promise suspense, emotional confrontations, and major revelations as Carly tries to uncover the meaning behind Brennan’s final message.

    Fans can expect:

    • Carly receiving Brennan’s mysterious letter
    • Jason helping investigate the hidden message
    • Sonny questioning Brennan’s intentions
    • New clues about Brennan’s final days
    • Possible betrayals being exposed
    • A larger mystery developing in Port Charles

    This storyline explores classic General Hospital themes: trust, secrets, loyalty, danger, and the search for truth.


    Conclusion: Brennan’s Letter Could Change Everything For Carly And Port Charles

    Carly receiving Brennan’s letter before his death could become one of the biggest turning points in the current Port Charles mystery.

    For Carly, it is a responsibility she never expected.

    For Jason and Sonny, it is a dangerous puzzle that must be solved.

    For everyone connected to Brennan, it is a reminder that secrets do not disappear simply because someone is gone.

    The question now is not only what Brennan wrote.

    It is why he chose Carly to receive it.

    Because in General Hospital, a final message can reveal hidden truths, expose dangerous enemies, and change the lives of everyone involved.

    Though her time on Earth spanned only a few short months, RheaVyn Nichol Lunsford left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Born on February 21, 2026, she immediately became the centerpiece of her parents’ lives and a cherished little sister to her loving siblings.

  • At 81, Michael Douglas Finally Revealed the Decision That Changed His Family Forever — Few Fans Knew the Full Story

     

    At 81, Michael Douglas Finally Revealed the Decision That Changed His Family Forever — Few Fans Knew the Full Story


    For decades, Michael Douglas has lived much of his life in public.

    Movie audiences watched him become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, winning an Oscar and building a career that stretched across generations.

    But behind the success was a family story that became increasingly important to him as he grew older.

    And it involved a decision that changed the way Douglas approached his life.

    After years spent chasing demanding movie roles and navigating the pressures that came with Hollywood success, Douglas began placing far greater importance on something fame couldn’t replace:

    time with his family.

    His marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones and the arrival of their children gave the actor a different perspective on what he wanted the next chapter of his life to look like.

    Douglas has spoken over the years about becoming a father later in life and how that experience affected his priorities.

    The contrast was especially meaningful because he already knew what it was like to balance fatherhood with an enormously demanding career.

    His eldest son, Cameron, was born decades before Dylan and Carys, giving Douglas an unusual opportunity to look back at the kind of father he had been — and consider what he wanted to do differently.

    As the years passed, the actor became increasingly protective of the time he could spend with the people closest to him.

    Hollywood was still important.

    But it was no longer the only thing defining his life.

    For an actor who spent decades measuring his calendar in movies, premieres and performances, that change may ultimately have been one of the most important decisions of his career.

    Because eventually Douglas discovered something many people don’t realize until much later:

    You can make another movie. You can’t get the years with your family back.

  • At 65, Johnny Whitaker Finally Reveals the Truth About Brian Keith — The TV Father Figure Who Changed His Life

    At 65, Johnny Whitaker Finally Reveals the Truth About Brian Keith — The TV Father Figure Who Changed His Life


    For millions of viewers, Family Affair was a symbol of warmth and comfort.

    The wealthy bachelor.

    The three children he unexpectedly raised.At 65, Johnny Whitaker Finally Tells the Truth About Brian Keith

    The loving household that became one of television’s most memorable families.

    At the center of it was Brian Keith as Uncle Bill Davis and young Johnny Whitaker as Jody Davis.

    On screen, they played family.

    But years later, Johnny revealed that their connection went far beyond acting.

    Brian Keith was not simply his co-star.

    He was a mentor.

    A protector.

    And someone who gave a young child stability during one of the most important years of his life.

    Johnny Whitaker was born in 1959 in Van Nuys, California.

    Like many child actors of his generation, he entered entertainment at a very young age.

    Before Family Affair, he had already appeared in commercials and television projects.Here's What Happened to 'Family Affair' Actor Brian Keith Before, During  and After the Classic TV Show

    But his life changed when he was cast as Jody Davis in the CBS sitcom that premiered in 1966.

    At only seven years old, Whitaker suddenly became part of a major television production.

    Millions of people watched him every week.

    The audience saw a cheerful child actor.

    But behind the scenes, he was still a young boy trying to understand a demanding industry.

    Long hours.

    Scripts.

    Cameras.

    Adult expectations.

    That environment could have been overwhelming.

    But one person helped make it easier.

    Brian Keith.

    By the time Family Affair began, Keith was already an experienced actor.

    He had a reputation for professionalism, humor, and a grounded personality.

    Rather than treating Johnny as simply a child performer, Keith treated him with patience and respect.

    He understood that a young actor needed more than instructions.

    He needed encouragement.

    Keith helped create an environment where Whitaker could feel comfortable.

    He joked with him between scenes.

    He offered advice.

    And he helped him understand that acting was not about pretending.

    It was about honesty.Brian Keith Career Highlights: Early Days, 'Family Affair' and More |  Woman's World

    The famous relationship between Uncle Bill and Jody worked because there was genuine warmth behind the performances.

    Audiences felt the connection.

    And according to Whitaker, that feeling was real.

    Brian Keith became a kind of father figure during those years.

    Someone who protected him from some of the pressures that came with childhood fame.

    But when Family Affair ended in 1971, Johnny’s life changed dramatically.

    The structure and attention he had known disappeared.

    Like many former child stars, he struggled with the transition away from early fame.

    Finding an identity outside the character people remembered became difficult.

    Over the years, Whitaker faced personal struggles, including battles with addiction and depression.

    The bright young face from television was dealing with challenges that audiences never saw.

    But even after the show ended, Brian Keith remained someone important in his life.

    Their connection continued beyond Hollywood.

    Keith checked in on him and remained supportive during difficult periods.

    It was a reminder that some relationships created on a television set can become genuine human connections.

    Brian Keith himself carried private struggles.

    Behind his successful career was a man who experienced personal pain and difficult moments.

    In 1997, Keith passed away after battling illness and facing deep personal hardships.

    For Johnny Whitaker, the loss was devastating.

    He was not simply mourning an actor from his childhood.Brian Keith | Movies, Of Course!

    He was mourning someone who had helped guide him through a difficult chapter of his life.

    Someone who had shown him kindness when he needed it most.

    Looking back decades later, Whitaker wanted people to understand the man behind Uncle Bill.

    Brian Keith was not only a television star.

    He was someone who made a difference in the life of a young actor.

    The legacy of Family Affair remains powerful because audiences believed in the relationships it portrayed.

    And perhaps the most meaningful relationship was the one that continued after the cameras stopped.

    A child actor found guidance from an older performer.

    A television uncle became a real-life source of support.

    A friendship lasted long after the final episode aired.

  • At 80, Henry Winkler Finally Told the Story He Couldn’t Bring Himself to Tell for Years

     

    At 80, Henry Winkler Finally Told the Story He Couldn’t Bring Himself to Tell for Years


    For millions of Americans, Henry Winkler will always be The Fonz — confident, cool and seemingly untouchable.

    But the boy behind that famous character felt very different.

    Growing up, Winkler struggled terribly in school. He didn’t know he had dyslexia, and the adults around him often interpreted his difficulties as laziness or a lack of intelligence.

    Even his parents, who had escaped Nazi Germany and built a new life in America, struggled to understand what their son was going through.

    Winkler has recalled being punished over his schoolwork and carrying the feeling that he simply wasn’t good enough.

    He wouldn’t discover the real reason until adulthood: he was dyslexic.

    The diagnosis finally gave a name to something that had followed him since childhood — but it also brought anger over all the years he’d spent believing something was wrong with him.

    Behind one of television’s most confident characters was an actor quietly carrying those wounds.

    Now 80, Winkler speaks openly about that painful chapter, hoping children struggling today hear the message he needed all those years ago:

    Difficulty in school doesn’t determine how brilliant you can become.

  • King Charles and Queen Camilla’s huge royal engagement after Prince Harry’s return

     

    King Charles and Queen Camilla’s huge royal engagement after Prince Harry’s return


    King Charles and Queen Camilla have revealed their royal engagement since Prince Harry returned to the UK.

    Moving back from across the pond, Prince Harry has made a comeback to the UK with his wife Meghan and their two children. However, they will not return to their royal duties, it is understood.

    Royal duties for King Charles after Prince Harry returns to UK

    It is business as usual for the royal family. The King and Queen, who have returned from Balmoral, will host Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.

    It is for a special viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry. Brigitte Macron, the French president’s wife, will also join them.

    The King is credited with helping secure the tapestry’s loan to Britain. His state visit to France in 2023 played a part. So did hosting the Macrons at Windsor Castle last year.

    The group will walk the full 70-metre length of the artwork at the British Museum. Andy Burnham and his wife, Marie-France van Heel, will join them.

    It’s a landmark moment for the tapestry, which depicts the Norman conquest of 1066. The piece has returned to the UK for the first time in almost 1,000 years. It is on loan.

    Curators to guide King and Emmanuel Macron through key scenes

    The tour won’t be a quick walk-through. Curators will stop the group at significant moments in the artwork’s story.

    Meanwhile, they’ll cover Harold Godwinson’s coronation and the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Curators will highlight the disputed depiction of his death by an arrow.

    Afterwards, the King and the French president will give speeches at a reception in the museum’s Great Court. Schoolchildren from both Britain and France will attend, along with figures involved in securing the loan. Museum director Nicholas Cullinan and chair George Osborne are also expected to greet the royal and presidential parties.

    Bayeux Tapestry ticket sales smash British Museum record

    Public appetite for the tapestry has been huge. When general tickets went on sale last month, the museum recorded its single biggest day of ticket sales ever. It took more than £2.4million in 24 hours.

    Tickets are currently sold out until December. A further batch goes on sale on October 21, with later months to follow.

    Around 7.5million visitors are expected before the tapestry returns to Normandy. It will go back once the Bayeux Tapestry Museum reopens after renovation.

    Andy Burnham pushes for closer UK-EU ties

    Emmanuel Macron is the first European leader to meet Andy Burnham since he became Prime Minister. The visit follows the Prime Minister’s recent trip to Kyiv.

    There, he said “greater co-operation” was needed across all areas. It’s seen as a continuation of his predecessor Keir Starmer’s push to reset relations between Britain and the EU. The shared moment over one of history’s most famous artworks adds to that diplomatic effort.

    Meghan makes announcement

    It comes as Meghan made her own exciting announcement on Wednesday.

    A photograph of a sparkling wine bottle was shared on the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand As Ever’s Instagram account.

    As Ever had already teased a new product launch ahead of the family’s UK move, showing her business plans continued despite the relocation.

    The caption read: “A new chapter to celebrate. Introducing our Reserve Brut. Crafted in the traditional Méthode Champenoise and sourced from Napa Valley, this elegant sparkling wine was made for gathering, toasting, and savoring life’s beautiful moments. Available 9/3 at Wine.AsEver.com.”

  • Tim Curry’s Final Public Appearance Was With the Cast That Made Him Famous — Looking Back at It Now Hits Hard – Topcat

     

    Tim Curry’s Final Public Appearance Was With the Cast That Made Him Famous — Looking Back at It Now Hits Hard – Topcat

    For generations of movie fans, Tim Curry will always be remembered as the unforgettable Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And in a fitting final chapter to his public life, Curry’s last known public appearance brought him back to the people and the film that helped make him a legend.

    In November 2025, Curry appeared as part of The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, reuniting with original co-stars Barry Bostwick, Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell. Entertainment Weekly reports that his final public appearance came during the anniversary tour in New York, only months before his death at age 80.

    It was an especially emotional sight for longtime fans. After suffering a major stroke in 2012, Curry used a wheelchair and made public appearances far less frequently. Yet his famous sense of humor remained very much intact. During the 2025 anniversary celebrations, he joked with audiences while looking back on the strange little movie that became a cultural phenomenon.

    Rocky Horror had changed everything for Curry. His fearless performance as Frank-N-Furter turned him into an international star and opened the door to an extraordinary career that later included ClueAnnieHome Alone 2Muppet Treasure Island and his terrifying performance as Pennywise in It.

    But there was something beautifully appropriate about seeing him return to Rocky Horror near the end.

    There he was, surrounded by familiar faces from a movie they had made half a century earlier. The costumes and wild nights were long behind them, but the affection between the cast—and from the fans who had followed them for decades—was still unmistakable.

    At the time, it was a celebration.

    Looking back now, it feels much more like a farewell.

    Tim Curry died at 80 in August 2026, leaving behind nearly six decades of unforgettable performances. His final public chapter didn’t need a dramatic Hollywood ending. It simply brought him back to where so many fans first fell in love with him.

    And somehow, that feels exactly right.
