All celebrities are beautiful to us, aren’t they? Under glitzy spotlights and in gorgeous gowns, it’s hard to imagine them one day switching out their high heels for orthopedic shoes or their thousand-dollar suits for cozy robes and slippers. Thanks to AI, we don’t have to wonder what age looks like paired with beauty; we can know here and now! Check out these celebrities now alongside what AI predicts these beloved pieces of our culture will look like when they’re old and gray.

Robert Pattinson

From our first vampire heartthrob to Bruce Wayne stalking criminals in the night, Robert Pattinson has done it all. And now, he’s “aged” well too. It seems like that eternal vampire skin did him some good!

Black really is his color, isn’t it? Maybe his career as a vampire in the Twilight series to Batman means that black is a staple for this guy. We’re rooting for you, Robert Pattinson! Whatever your next movie role, we’ve got your back!

Emma Stone

This sweetheart’s sweet smile just gets better with time, doesn’t it? Emma Stone just has that friendly warmth to her that makes you want to sit down over a hot cup of tea and share all of life’s secrets and complexities.

Miss Emma, in her old age, just takes that warmth to the next level. All of us need a person that greets us with an Emma Stone smile. Honestly, we’re excited about this life stage for Emma. It looks good on her!

Ryan Gosling

Ryan, oh, Ryan. That smirk just doesn’t ever get old – even when he does. Ryan first stole our hearts in The Notebook, and he kind of just kept them. He’s done a little bit of everything in his acting career, and it all seems to work for him.

Whether he’s singing our hearts into heaven in La La Land or playing a sneaky CIA agent in The Gray Man, Ryan has done it all and looked good while doing it. Let’s just say that the turtleneck works for him.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa makes all of our favorite disco-pop music, and even in old age, she’s rocking it! How does she keep her skin so dewy and glowy, her hair so silky, and her eyebrows so well-shaped? Dua Lipa, give us your tips!

Some musicians don’t age well because the performance industry can take a toll on the body. But if this is what Dua Lipa has to look forward to, she’s going to be owning the stage for years to come.

Harry Styles

Harry Styles just seems to be everyone’s favorite performer, influencer, advocate, and voice to represent all of the things we wish we could say. He’s got the style to match his joyful personality, and it seems that his kind eyes age with him.

From his gorgeous curly hair to his boldly patterned suit, we’re loving Harry’s 30+ years from now look. His salt-and-pepper hair just seals the deal. Move over George Clooney, Harry’s in the house!

Cristiano Ronaldo

This one will surely cause some division – are you Team Ronaldo or Team Messi? Regardless of your preferences, we’ve got to admit that Ronaldo is looking good a few decades from now!

(Left) Shutterstock // Stefan Constantin 22 | (Right) Instagram // @alperyesiltas

Although he won’t be playing football anymore (probably… right?), we hope that we still get to have glimpses of Cristiano on our screens every once in a while. After all, look at this legend!

Lionel Messi

For those that aren’t team Ronaldo… here’s Lionel Messi! As one of the best athletes to ever play soccer, Messi doesn’t mess around with his aging. If he looks anything like this a few decades from now, he’ll be the heartthrob of that generation.

What do soccer players do after their career on the field, anyway? Whatever he’s doing 30+ years from now, it seems to be working for him!

Billie Eilish

Although we love Billie for her music, she’s so much more to us than just a musician. As a style icon, ethical advocate, and influencer in the younger generation, we hope that Billie never loses her confidence or boldness.

(Left) Shutterstock // Kathy Hutchins | (Right) Instagram // @alperyesiltas

With such a broad platform and prominent voice, it’s no wonder this young musician has caught the attention of so many people. We’re excited to see what she brings to the world stage in years to come.

Greta Thunberg

Talk about a world changer! Greta Thunberg took the world stage a few years ago at age 15 as an activist and hasn’t turned back. Honestly, the world hasn’t gone back to the way it was before her.

(Left) Shutterstock // Antonello Marangi | (Right) Instagram // @alperyesiltas

We love to see that Greta’s still smiling, and it looks like her old eyes have seen a thing or two. It’s no wonder! With boldness and authority like hers, we’re sure that the next decades of life will be full of beautiful things – just like her.

Justin Bieber

As a huge influencer in modern-day popular music, and an advocate for so many marginalized people, it’s hard not to like this guy. A few extra decades still look good on our favorite JB!

(Left) Shutterstock // Featureflash Photo Agency | (Right) Instagram // @alperyesiltas

As his hair grows gray and he gets wrinkles along the curves of his face, we’ll never forget teenage JB! We all know that “Baby” was one of our first love songs and anthems of adolescence.

Chris Hemsworth

We’re loving how older Chris seems to give off Pierce Brosnan vibes. Even in old age, it looks like Chris could do some damage in a fistfight. But then again, when does he not look like that? No amount of wrinkles or gray hair could weaken this lord of lightning!

(Left) Shutterstock // Tinseltownl | (Right) Ethics // Matthew Beard

Chris is a heartthrob now, and it seems that he will be in 30 years too. We believe they call men like these silver foxes. Watch out Elsa Pataky! This one is going to have women chasing him for many years to come.

Gordon Ramsay

We all know that Gordon Ramsay is a total beast in the kitchen, but we’re having a hard time believing that he’s still going to be hosting MasterChef in season … 50? Surely, the pace in the kitchen will be much slower by then!

(Left) Instagram // @gordongram | (Right) Instagram // @gordongram

They say that high-stress environments like Michelin-star kitchens make you age faster; we guess MasterChef has that same effect. Don’t worry, Gordon – we know you’ll still be commanding the kitchen 30 years from now!

Lady Gaga

Why does Lady Gaga get to stay so fierce and beautiful, even after getting wrinkles and aging a few years?! Life doesn’t seem to deal out the beauty cards evenly. Lady Gaga has commanded the music industry and changed the way we view entertainment.

(Left) Shutterstock // Fred Duval | (Right) Pinterest // Samm

As an actress, performer, musician, and absolute image icon, Lady Gaga has done it all and then some. It seems like whatever work she’s had done on her po-po-po-poker face has served her well. Lady Gaga, you’re still a queen – even 30 years from now!

Terry Crews

Just when you didn’t think Terry could get any bigger or more intense… Old Terry is still just as terrifying! We never doubted that Terry would keep his muscle tone until he went to the grave, but old age seemed to make Terry Hulk-up!

(Left) Instagram // terrycrews | (Right) Facebook // Terry Crews

Whether you’re currently in the best shape of your life, or not so much, Old Terry is a good reminder that growing old isn’t for sissies. Now we see that it’s possible to be in literal tip-top shape when all of your old people friends can’t even lift up their cane to yell at the neighbors’ kids.

Kevin Hart

Why the long face, Kevin? Our favorite comedian is looking good with that silver facial hair! Kevin Hart started as a stand-up comedian and transitioned into Hollywood films, and we sure are glad he did!

(Left) Shutterstock // Jaguar PS | (Right) Facebook // Kevin Hart

He’s brought laughter and authenticity into our homes for years, and we hope he continues for years to come. We hope to see that gorgeous silver hair and big smile a few decades from now, too. Whatever comedy turns into in the coming years, we want Kevin to be in the middle of it.

Peter Dinklage

Well, it seems for Peter Dinklage that his awesomeness increases with age. We’re not sure how we can get to that level one day! As an actor and advocate for people that have walked through similar life experiences, we support Peter and are excited about his future.

(Left) Pinterest // Tinseltownl | (Right) Instagram // @peterdinklage

We’re excited for Peter to continue sharing his story and building bridges for people like him – people that have been marginalized, discriminated against, or dismissed because of a condition. Keep sharing, Peter! We’re behind you!

Pharrell Williams

Okay, okay… we all know that Pharrell doesn’t age – but IF he did – he still wouldn’t look very old. Pharrell has done everything there is to do in the music industry and beyond. From record producing to singing to even designing clothes!

(Left) Pinterest // NetworthReveal | (Right) Instagram // @pharell

At age 49, Pharrell can still fit in with the young crowd – not only in style and profession but in looks as well. Pharrell, we wish you well and are excited to finally (hopefully) see some wrinkles on your face in the coming decades.

Adam Scott

Although the name Adam Scott may not ring a bell, we’re sure that Ben Wyatt does. Adam entered our homes and stole our hearts as Ben from Parks and Rec, and we don’t think that’ll ever change.

(Left) Pinterest // New York Magazine | (Right) Instagram // @mradamscott

With this picture of Old Adam, we can picture Ben and Leslie growing old together in the city of Pawnee until the end of time. He’s still got that crazy-hair look to him, and it just seems fitting. Keep it up, Adam! Your look is iconic!

David Guetta

Honestly, David kind of seems to be giving off the Dos Equis commercial guy vibes. This DJ and music producer still seems to be living the life of young people, even at age 70+. Whatever keeps you young, David!

(Left) Pinterest // @Stefano Moraschini | (Right) Facebook // David Guetta

At this rate, we imagine him at age 75 on his yacht somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, serving upscale drinks with 25-year-old women having a dance party around him. Does this seem accurate? Yeah, we thought so.

Tyler, the Creator

This iconic rapper and record producer has been bringing joy to our long road trips and gym sessions since his debut in 2011 with his album Goblin. We’re glad to see that he’s still smiling big and being a troublemaker even into his late age days.

(Left) Shutterstock // Kathy Hutchins | (Right) Twitter // @Complex

We can just imagine Tyler, the Creator, stirring up mischief at the nursing home and pulling pranks on his old buddies. This smile means that he’s up to no good. We hope Tyler keeps his iconic smile and presence in the decades to come.

Rhett and Link

Anyone who thinks that talk shows are dead clearly hasn’t watched these two guys on the big screen. Rhett and Link are still kicking 30+ years from now, and we have no complaints! This comedy duo better still be best buddies in their nursing home!

(Left) Facebook // Rhett and Link | (Right) Twitter // @Mythical

Any morning is a Good Mythical Morning when you’re hanging out online with Rhett and Link. We’re excited to see what these funny guys are up to, and the status of their bromance, as their friendship ages.

Sam Smith

Sam’s musical talent and soulful voice have taken over the world, and his platform has extended beyond making and producing music. He’s challenged norms and fashion trends, and it looks like that’s what he’ll continue to do 30 years from now.

(Left) Twitter // @samsmith | (Right) Facebook // SAM SMITH

Although we aren’t sure about keeping the star earrings in his accessory kit for a few decades, his AI transformation is still uniquely Sam Smith. From “Latch” to Gloria, we’ve seen Sam’s style evolve and change. We’re excited to see what’s to come!

Marques Brownlee

From ultimate frisbee professional to tech whiz, Marques Brownlee does it all, doesn’t he? His technology-focused videos and reviews have blown up across YouTube, and we aren’t mad about it!

(Left) Twitter // @MKBHD | (Right) Twitter // @MKBHD

As Marques looks at technology from the past, present, and future, we love seeing what his future holds. Marques seems to keep his iconic look and will probably be the man to save us all if this thing goes south. His knowledge of technology, paired with that gray hair, makes this man unstoppable!

Kanye West

No one really knows where Kanye West came from, nor do we know where he’s going… but at least we know what he’ll look like in 30 years! This man reinvents his style and image with each new album he produces.

(Left) Shutterstock // Everett Collection | (Right) Instagram // @nssmagazine

Kanye keeps us on our toes. You never quite know what he’s going to do or say next, but this man has talent – that’s for sure. He’s received 24 Grammy Awards, for goodness sake!

Casey Neistat

This YouTuber, filmmaker, vlogger, and internet personality has done just a little bit of everything in the private film industry. His videos are eye-catching, and so is he! It’s good to see that Casey will still keep his fun personality 30 years from now.

Casey Neistat

It’s quite amazing how YouTube videos can blow up and take videographers to the world stage after just one viral video. We hope that we can keep tabs on Casey’s life through his fun vlogs and clips for years to come.

Travis Scott

This rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer has changed the music industry and concert scene for musicians all around the world. Seeing his AI image of Travis Scott 30+ years from now just makes sense.

(Left) Shutterstock // Ovidiu Hrubaru | (Right) Instagram // @nssmagazine

From his braids to his pose, everything about Old Travis Scott just seems to align with the Travis Scott that we know and love today. We’re excited for him and his family’s future and wish them the best!

Jonas Brothers

The Jonas brothers brought us “Burnin’ Up” back in 2008, and they’ve been doing just that since then! These brothers have changed throughout the years, in all aspects, from acting, careers, music style, and lifestyles. Let’s just say that we’re excited about their look down the road.

(Left) Instagram // @jonasbrothers | (Right) Twitter // @jonasbrothers

All little girls had their favorite Jonas brother back in the day – which is yours now? When these brothers grow old and gray, they’ll still be the heartthrobs and first loves of girls across many generations. We love you forever, Jonas brothers!

Taylor Swift

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE Taylor Swift, but she’s for sure going to be a coupon lady at all of her local grocery stores – and we think that makes us love her even more! T-Swift has been an icon in the music, mental health, and fashion industry for years.

(Left) Shutterstock // DFree | (Right) Pinterest // Samm

We’re excited to see that her raw beauty and natural look age well. Don’t you just want to curl up with a ball of yarn and talk to sweet Taylor for hours about her career? What an icon!

Drake

This beloved actor, singer, and rapper has taken the world by storm, and we think his looks will continue to do that 30 years from now. Just look at that jawline and gorgeous fade!

(Left) Shutterstock // Kathy Hutchins | (Right) Icon // Rebekah Clark

Drake is an influencer in popular music, specifically hip hop, and we’re excited to watch him hip hop along with his silver hair and classic style. Drake – your iconic look will never grow old, even when you do!

Paul Rudd

Although it may be a bold assumption that Paul ages (after all, look at that baby face!), we’re loving what a few extra decades does for Paul. He still seems to have kind eyes and be the kind of guy you want to have around as a best friend.

(Left) Shutterstock // Tinseltown | (Right) Twitter // @yashar

Paul will always be one of our generation’s sweethearts. Even a few decades from now, we’re going to need people like Paul around to keep us grounded and remember our humanity. We love you, Paul! And we don’t think you look too worse for wear either!
