Technology Used: A.I./Photoshop
One artist, Hidreley, was curious to see what celebrities who died too soon would look like if they had aged into 2021. He used A.I. and Photoshop to accomplish this feat, and the results were quite interesting, if a little sad. One beloved, late celebrity that he aged was Steve Irwin.

Irwin would have been fifty-nine years old in 2021, and he’s pictured here, looking tanned, a little heavier, but still up for an adventure. The famous Australian zookeeper was known for chasing deadly animals around the world. Sadly, he died in a freak accident, when he was attacked by a stingray who, while normally calm, was incredibly poisonous.
42. Peter Dinklage

As one commenter said, “[Peter Dinklage’s] awesomeness increases with age.” This FaceApp’d photo of Dinklage, who became famous for his role as Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones, shows the Hollywood star as he would be in his seventies, complete with grey hair and wrinkles.

Even at that age, we have no doubt that Dinklage will be still captivating us onscreen with his wide range of roles. As Tyrion, Dinklage showed us both his villainous and compassionate side. Though Lannister could be compassionate towards other people, he could also be unbelievably cruel to his enemies. Check out Dinklage in his most recent role, the Netflix film I Care a Lot.
43. Emma Watson

Let’s hope Hermione knows an anti-aging potion to stave off these wrinkles. While the gray hair is actually not a bad look, the skin needs some work. Emma Watson became famous for her role in the Harry Potter movies, making millions each movie for her portrayal of Hermione Granger, the smart, quick-witted heroine who saves the day in pretty much every book.

So, what’s Watson up to now? Luckily, she’s not aging like this. The thirty-one-year-old Brown University alum is focused on her film career and activism. According to Republic, there’s talk that she might be joining the M.C.U.’s Doctor Strange 2 as Clea, though that has yet to be confirmed either way (fingers crossed!).

This photo shows her decades into the future, and there’s no telling how many more awards she’ll have racked up by then. The best-selling artist got her start as an actress. She starred in Victorious, a Nickelodeon show, from 2010 to 2013, followed by Sam & Cat. Her hit songs include “7 Rings,” “Thank U, Next,” and “Side to Side.”

Chalamet might be in his mid-twenties, but this FaceApp’d photo shows him decades into the future. He, like some of the other celebrities on this list, bears a mild resemblance to Paul McCartney. Though grey around the gills, his black suit and dotted tie still look very sharp.
46. Billie Eilish

Back in 2019, every celebrity around was doing the FaceApp challenge, which artificially aged them decades into the future. Billie Eilish jumped on the trend, showing us what she would look like in her sixties. Of course, she kept her green hair in the picture (she wouldn’t ditch that until her 2021 blond bombshell look for the cover of Vogue).

Eilish is just nineteen, but the singer-songwriter has made a huge impact on the music scene. She became famous in 2015 after uploading her hit song, “Ocean Eyes,” to SoundCloud. Interscope Records’ Darkroom caught wind of the song and signed her to a deal, re-releasing the dreamy single.
47. Tyler, The Creator

Thirty-year-old rapper Tyler the Creator looks three times his age in this FaceApp creation. The chart-climbing artist, in this edited photo, has gray hairs, yellower teeth, and way more wrinkles. The musician is also a very prominent visual artist, so he probably greatly appreciated the realistic nature of this FaceApp’d Christmas Future.

Those of us who have been waiting for new music since Igor dropped in 2019 might be in luck. A$AP Rocky, Tyler the Creator’s creative partner, is expected to release a new album in 2021, and A$AP hinted that Tyler’s album, though currently unnamed, would also get a release this year.
48. Sam Smith

Singer Sam Smith went along with the FaceApp challenge a few years ago, posting this photo, complete with a diamond earring, white beard, and model-like pose. The English singer-songwriter became famous in 2012 when they were featured on “Latch” by Disclosure. The UK single created a buzz around Smith’s career.

Since then, they have released “Too Good at Goodbyes,” “Stay with Me,” “I’m Not the Only One,” and a host of other hits. Judging from the photo, Sam will be in good shape if they age this well. The London native just made headlines in May of 2021 after they reached 30 million in record sales.
49. The Jonas Brothers

Technology Used: FaceApp
The Jonas Brothers got a boost into the future with this FaceApp’d photo. Out of the three of them, it’s safe to say that Nick aged the best, though Joe and Kevin aren’t far behind. The Jonas Brothers became famous from their Disney Channel appearances, and they have remained a fan favorite ever since (even when they briefly disbanded).

The band has been around for sixteen years, releasing new singles like “BURNIN’ UP,” “Sucker,” and “Cool” from their 2019 comeback reunion. Recently, there was talk that The Jonas Brothers will be collaborating with BTS, a project that will no doubt go supernova, thanks to the dedication of both fan bases.
50. Drake

Drake will clearly be aging like fine wine, according to this FaceApp’d photo. The “10 Bands” rapper is able to pull off gray hair and laugh lines with grace, and he’s aging way better than pretty much every other celebrity on this list.

Judging from his career trajectory, Drake will be blasting out of our speakers and headphones for another thirty years. The rapper has a net worth of $180 million, and pretty much every song and album he releases tops the charts within a day. The thirty-four-year-old Toronto native’s upcoming album is his sixth, titled, “Certified Lover Boy.”
