Do You Recognize This Face?


If you don't, it's OK, because this face does not exist. It's an age-enhanced childhood picture showing what Michael Jackson would look like now if he'd never had cosmetic surgery or other physical alterations. The picture was made to accompany a Daily Mail article on Jackson as he turns 50 years old today. Link -via mental_floss

Not exactly>>>>

The hair is still died black in this illustration.

A more realistic photo would have him naturally gray.

Also, if he is in fact affected with a skin condition that de-pigments - he would still have the same coloring as he does now. That is something no one can control when it happens!

@PR New York: Actually, the condition he allegedly has only depigments in splotches. The whole deal is that he bleaches the rest of his skin to match the splotches.

It does look like they figured in the strange skin pigmentation..just not to the extreme we're used to. Pretty neat..I've always been interested in historical/scientific recreations of historical faces who lived when there were no cameras around. The fact that MJ can be thrown in with the pack says something about his strange existence.

They depicted him "smiling" and happy in the rendering. (instead of slack faced which would be easier to work with). As if to say that he would be a happier guy (as in his young images) if he hadn't morphed himself.

I could never really understand why his plastic surgeons went so far. I suppose the obvious answer is money but I think at some point, extreme plastic surgery must violate the hippocratic oath.

He should have sought therapy instead of surgery

I read an interview with a plastic surgeon that tracked MJ's surgeries as a hobby, keeping every photo of him he could find. While MJ claimed that he'd had something like four surgeries, the surgeon said it was more like 40, and that he could show pictures showing at least 30 distinct changes. My numbers may be slightly off, this was about five years ago.
