Unless someone has a secret time machine, the Oldify app is the best way to see dramatically aged celebrities. It envisions what currently youthful people will look like in 60 years. While some of these pop stars and actors look absolutely ludicrous with their drooping cheeks and sallow skin, other renditions are eerily believable, to a certain extent.
Overall, however, these images of dramatically aged celebrities are good for a laugh and nothing more. Unless, of course, someone is brave enough to put their own image through the ringer to see what turns up. Those over at Mashable thought it would be safer and more entertaining to stick with public figures instead. Most others will agree.
