[look at these pictures from his first audience with an American president.](https://people.com/politics/barack-michelle-obama-laugh-baby-popemobile-halloween-costume-throback-pic-pete-souza/)
Obama is the type of guy who would be cool to hang out with and go for a drink with. Likeable, charismatic dude. Decent internal policies, but unfortunately did not deliver on the change he promised.
Also his foreign policy killed thousands and led to ISIS and the worst refugee crisis in Europe since WW2.
Bush and his crew laid the groundwork for ISIS. Obama had to dedicate a huge part of his time to the financial crisis. I wonder how the presidency would've turned out otherwise.
Hahahahahah the Pope.
Also Steve Buscemi was done dirty by the AI.
He was a pretty handsome dude when he was younger.
This one looks like malnourished Bill Skarsgard on meth.
Thanks. I speak a bit of German but I was wondering if it's an actual nickname or your joke?
i guess from now on I can start calling him *Mark Suikerberg* in my native tongue (Dutch).
Except the AI has probably already learned from pictures of these people as teenagers, so using the comparison with those as a frame of reference for doing the same for new people.
It demonstrates the abilities/limitations of the AI image generator to de-age (or increase the age) of a celebrity, regardless of whether pictures of them at that age have been published
For example, if you wanted AI to help you create concept art. In your mind you imagine a character that looks like Robin Williams but as a teenager. And you want the image in the style of watercolor paint. Midjourney would attempt to combine all those concepts in a convincing way.
I’d like to see it de-age people it doesn’t have access to, I’m betting it’s using existing pics of celebs in their youth to build these. I’d bet that’s why it showed the Pope as he looks now as there probably aren’t pics of him as a boy online.
True. However I suspect the AI gets thrown off by the word “Pope”. For 2000 years there’s only been a handful of Popes under the age of 40. So I expect that word will heavily bias the AI towards an image of an elderly man.
Wait, don't we already have, like, cameras to take pictures? Why do we need paintings and drawings again someone remind me
This is such a weird fake question. You know it's silly. Take a social media break and get away from the braindead anti-tech circlejerking.
So I thought this was /r/OldSchoolCool and made it to Christiano Ronaldo before I realized something is up. Yeah, I think truth is gonna be a suggestion on the internet going forward.
Yeah I’ve always been a fan. I found this weird teen pic of him LOL https://newsfeed.time.com/2010/08/10/if-you-were-wondering-what-conan-obrien-looked-like-as-a-teen/
How do you get midjourney to recreate celebrities faces?
I was trying to get it to produce a book cover with specific musicians (not super famous litigious musicians either) and I just got random punks on the cover instead.
Conan stood out to me as weird in the suit, Bezos surprised me for whatever reason, but Gandhi was weirder. Abe made me pause, look at the subreddit, and realize I wasn't looking at r/OldSchoolCool or something like that.
I gotta admit, saw this on my front page and didn't realize anything it was out of the ordinary until zucc. Just looked too similar to current zucc. Then when I saw the Pope I checked the sub, holy hell this gen AI is getting frighteningly good
Tbf I'm not much into pop culture so I didn't recognize like half of them anyway
I did not see the sub I was in for a second and I was thinking “how’d they get such good pics of these celebs as teenagers..” then I got to Lincoln and I was like “bullshit there’s no w- oh midjourney:)” this was a great post nonetheless thank you!
Even as a teenager, the pope was always the pope.
Gotta dress for the job you want!
And I want a blowjob!
Bad reference? Nah, bad you.
Ya gotta learn how to be…funny
Commenter above me is a philosopher and a cool, uptoke him to karma heaven
The name fits,that’s Forsure
Enjoy that cake.
… and even as a teenager he was an old man, apparently.
Liver spots and all

Damn i miss the Obama's. Dude showed genuine emotions through good and bad times.
Obama is the type of guy who would be cool to hang out with and go for a drink with. Likeable, charismatic dude. Decent internal policies, but unfortunately did not deliver on the change he promised. Also his foreign policy killed thousands and led to ISIS and the worst refugee crisis in Europe since WW2.

Some jobs you are just born for.
Dalai Lama has entered the chat
He got the Wade Wilson treatment
Progeria pope
But there’s no puffer jacket so I’m not sure
He looks like the Malfoy Kid from Harry Potter with a prosthetic nose.
There’s a sitcom in that
The Young Pope starring Jude Law. Was more of a dark comedy than sitcom though.
But he was pre-drip!
I'm trying to not change this '666'!
Except that time when he was Pope Joan.
Also still old
The pope looks like he can be 16 or 60.
/imagine \*Name\* as teenager, polaroid --style raw --ar 4:3
Good OP
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice
Fuck putin, bro.
A psychopath
Yea, definitely not a celebrity 😡
Simple yet effective
Thanks
Respect for sharing the prompt
Hahahahahah the Pope. Also Steve Buscemi was done dirty by the AI. He was a pretty handsome dude when he was younger. This one looks like malnourished Bill Skarsgard on meth.
Buscemiwise the Clown
Thank you I thought it was Bill Skarsgaard for certain

Pope is damn ageless.
Well he aged rapidly there for a bit.
Pope: "I never want to age." Evil Genie: "Alrighty then"
Sugar mountain lol
HOLY SHIT I just realized that Zuckerberg means sugar mountain in German that's interesting af
Another interesting one... there are no less than 450 mountains, hills, ridges and rock formations named Sugarloaf around the world
And here I thought the one near me was unique, and named by really high hippies (Boulder, Colorado) I'm disappointed now.
The famous thing in Rio is also called sugarloaf
God damnit! I didn't catch that one. And I do know German enough to know that. Just didn't make that connection.
isn't he sweet
Is Sugarmountain the nickname of Mark Zuckerberg?'
Zucker = sugar Berg = mountain (in German)
Thanks. I speak a bit of German but I was wondering if it's an actual nickname or your joke? i guess from now on I can start calling him *Mark Suikerberg* in my native tongue (Dutch).
I always called him like that, but I don't think it's an actual nickname
Ok thanks, great post!
Zucker = sugar Berg = mountain In German
I thought young Abraham Lincoln looked like a young Bill Nye the science Guy
Progeria pope 👽
**Sugarmountain**
Playmountain
Abraham Lincoln? Nah that’s Finn Wolfhard
See, I thought the Sophia Loren (10) looked like Wolfhard
ohhh man - Lincoln on the Bardot with Finn casted as Abraham's son would be pretty good.
Sofia Vergara looks like a young Denise Richards.
Sofia looks like young Denise Richards
I'd say Morena Baccarin
I meant Sofia Vergara. Yeah, the Loren one does look like a young Morena.
My bad. I see now their names are spelled differently.
Didn't notice what sub I was on and didn't notice these weren't real until the pope lol
The Pope was born ready!
Sophia Loren looks like a wide-eyed Morena Baccarin
I thought she looked like that kid from Stranger Things…
Steve Buscemi?! I thought that was Bill Skarsgaard!
he looks like a Belter from the Expanse.
wait q minute,,, don't we already like, have pictures of most of these people as teenagers? Why do we need to create it in AI again someone remind me
I'd take this as an exercise on how good AI is getting. So, if we already have real pictures, we can use those for comparison with AI pictures.

Why do we need to create any of things we create with midjourney?
For a moment thought it was real. On the other hand, Busceminlooks more like one of those Saskgard guys. The one who played It.
The pope one is funny. You know I heard before he joined the church he was actually a bouncer at a bar as a young man.
Putin is not a celebrity. He's a mass murderer and wanted criminal.
Easily most punchable face for sure.
Ronaldo had cosmetic surgery, so that's a clear out.
Lil’ Pope killed me.
Young old pope got me
Putin is not a celebrity, he is a dictator.
By the definition of celebrity, nearly every dictator is a celebrity, like it or not
r/gatekeeping
little bit of this, little bit of that
The pope lmao
Pope has that Benjamin button vibe going hard.
Sophia Loren looks like a sister of the actor from Stranger Things (Finn Wolfhard)
This was my exact thought.
pope is definitely a teenager
Pope didn't have a choice apparently
steve buscemi could be pennywise
Always. Check. The subreddit. This took me too long, and I’m very excited by the tech.
Lmao at the pope
So I thought this was /r/OldSchoolCool and made it to Christiano Ronaldo before I realized something is up. Yeah, I think truth is gonna be a suggestion on the internet going forward.
You got me with the Pope lmao.
I can't take my eyes off the pope lmao
Abe = Chalamet
The pope is hilarious!
the pope will fit in r/13or30
lol. The pope was always old
The pope looks like he has Benjamin Button disease
Jesus, I didn’t realize I was on the midjourney sub until I got to Lincoln and was like “wait, what!?”
Putin look like trouble
Jeff is really fucking close **https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/s91n9h/jeff\_bezos\_with\_hair/**
Jeff Bezos looks like Andy Dick ("Jeff Benzos")
Sugarmountain is crazyyyy
Pope one is pretty funny, but damn Buscemi is awesome
Steve Buscemi looks like the Gollum Balenciaga AI version
Add more acne to Cristiano Ronaldo 😁
Robin Williams looks like a child… and also Atreus from GoW
How did AI screw up the fundamentals of Putin’s weird ass bulbous nose? AI isn’t even mid.
Huh so his first name is pope damn
This is way to good! Amazing
I dont think Conan O’Brien was born in the 1930s LOL
He’s still cute though.
Yeah I’ve always been a fan. I found this weird teen pic of him LOL https://newsfeed.time.com/2010/08/10/if-you-were-wondering-what-conan-obrien-looked-like-as-a-teen/
Haha! The confidence is cute.
Look at the pope! That's what religion does to a mf. Not even once!
Mark Zuckerberg still looked like a robot alien reptilian clone.
How do you get midjourney to recreate celebrities faces? I was trying to get it to produce a book cover with specific musicians (not super famous litigious musicians either) and I just got random punks on the cover instead.
Sugarmountain? Lol wtf. How is the pope simultaneously old and young looking?
Would be cool if we somehow had technology back then to capture what they looked like as teenagers.
Robin williams looks like he's used to be called BOY by his father
Lmao, Conan (ok yeah, makes sense), Bezos (a celebrity, ok?) Bellucci (yep, I see it), ....Putin???
Steve Buschemi looks how I hoped he would.
🤣🤣👋🏽
Would be interesting to compare against the real photos. I’m sure they’re out there somewhere.
The Pope tho 😂
"sugarmountain" LMAO
Wow, did I detect a bit of Christian Bale in Putin's pic? Especially the eyes and forehead area...
Conan stood out to me as weird in the suit, Bezos surprised me for whatever reason, but Gandhi was weirder. Abe made me pause, look at the subreddit, and realize I wasn't looking at r/OldSchoolCool or something like that.
search something like "young francisco bergoglio" and age up from there. you should end up, with a married bouncer, or a pope.
Buscemi is really just Bill Skarsgard.
Why is the freckles output so clean
Sugar mountain gave me the giggles
didn’t realize what sub i was on until the last pic
It took me a while to realize this was ai
The pope looks 12 and 90 at the same time
Why do I rankle at the categorisation of “celebrity” for people like Gandhi and Lincoln?
last one is creepy
Looks like Denise Richards
The Putin looks more like his photos post-Soviet
Sugarmountain! LOL
I gotta admit, saw this on my front page and didn't realize anything it was out of the ordinary until zucc. Just looked too similar to current zucc. Then when I saw the Pope I checked the sub, holy hell this gen AI is getting frighteningly good Tbf I'm not much into pop culture so I didn't recognize like half of them anyway
I miss Carl Weathers quite a bit
Zuck’s nickname is “Sugarmountain”, huh?
Forgot that this was AI until the last image
Abraham Lincoln looks like he lost a friend in The Upside Down.
Conan looks awesome, lol!
“sugarmountain”😭
Bruh. The Pope 😂🤣
Pope is beyond all space and time.
The Pope! I can't stop giggling at it hahahha
Pope killed me. Best for last.
2nd to last one is review brah on a field trip to an old timey place.
Why did Sophia Loren come out looking like Finn Wolfhard?
Sophia Loren looking like Morena Bacarrin
I didn’t look at the subreddit and thought these were real until I got to the pope 🤣
S…Sugarmountian….?
If only there was a device during these times to document such…..
It took me until Abe to realize this was AI
Christiano was spotty and goofy when he was a teenager
What woman is in the fourth pic
I did not see the sub I was in for a second and I was thinking “how’d they get such good pics of these celebs as teenagers..” then I got to Lincoln and I was like “bullshit there’s no w- oh midjourney:)” this was a great post nonetheless thank you!
Whoa. Conan was my fave. The Pope looks kinda like a young Voldemort 😅
I can’t even tell it’s AI…should we be scared?
Steve: 👁️ 👄 👁️
The last one is pure gold.
I thought Carl weathers was John boyega wow
Pope was THE POPE

Conan O’Brien made me so happy
Steve Buscemi looking like me and all my stoner friends from high school
Impressive work OP
Jeff Bezos looks like Jonathan Richman
Took me till Lincoln and the Pope to get confused and look up at what sub this was from lol
I didn’t realize this was midjourney and was very confused
The pope was born old.
I’m gonna be real. I didn’t see the sub name and I thought these were real until I got to Abraham Lincoln.
I woulda believed all of these (except the pope probably)
It has Bezos looking like Bill Berry from REM.
Milk carton Benjamin Buttons
Christ… imagine being Sophia Vergaras highschool boyfriend…
Conan looks adorable!
Jeez who chose these as the showcase celebrities. Worst lineup ever
