There appears to be nothing you can't do with Photoshop, and trends about [photo manipulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realphotoai) have been buzzing of late, be it "real life Homer Simpson" or the what celebrities really do look like.

I came across this set of images where photoshop has been taken to the max - but in reverse. Someone has taken the time and effort to make the world's most popular celebs look like the [walking dead](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterlife-generator). Love it. There are over 20 featuring everyone from Brad Pitt to Madonna. Is it just me, or does Madonna look the same?

I have to say, I much prefer the UK domestic violence campaign which made celebs look like they were victims themselves - though to be honest, I am not sure if this is [make up or photoshop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign).
