Please, tell us you also thought that was a baby picture of Harry Potter. We definitely did, but we’re wrong. According to AI, that cutie that looks so much like Boy Who Lived is what John Oliver would’ve looked like as a baby. Do you see the resemblance? We think we do.
The comedian is known for his signature glasses, and baby Oliver seems to be wearing a pair, too. We can see some resemblance in both pictures, but we firmly believe the AI pic looks more like the childhood picture of Daniel Radcliffe.
Marilyn Monroe
One of Hollywood’s most iconic figures, Marilyn Monroe, was an actress, singer, and model. With her pop culture icon status, it isn’t that hard to imagine what she looked like as a child. It gets even easier once you picture the blonde hair and the stunning smile.
In reality, Marilyn Monroe’s natural hair color was light brown, which would have been evident in her childhood pictures. Take away the blonde hair and the makeup, and this might just be a childhood picture of Marilyn Monroe in a different reality. Right?
Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne Johnson is an actor, producer, and retired professional wrestler popularly known as “The Rock.” Looking at this recreated childhood photo of Dwayne Johnson, it only follows that we nickname this baby “The Pebble.” And what a cute little pebble he is!
The Pebble looks so adorable, and we love everything about him. We particularly love the mirth in his eyes, and those cheeks are absolutely pinch-worthy. Do we think this looks convincing as a childhood picture of Dwayne Johnson? Certainly!
Taylor Swift
Are you sold on this recreated childhood picture of the iconic singer-songwriter Taylor Swift? Because we most definitely are! It’s all in the eyes. Those electric blue eyes are the same, and we love it.
No kid would wear this much makeup, but even without makeup on little Taylor’s face, this picture would still be a convincing childhood picture of Taylor Swift. We agree that the hair could be blonder, though. Taylor comes from the South, so maybe it’s considering that she might have been entered into childhood beauty pageants? She’s still gorgeous either way, even in the AI world.
In the past decade, we’ve seen digital artists photoshop photos of celebrities to see what they would look like if they had no makeup on, worked other jobs, or were older. These same artists were inspired to use AI to recreate celebrities as babies, and the results have left us with a range of feelings. Check out some of the most famous celebrities and be the judge of how accurate the recreated childhood pic is.
