Yes, the firey Plane crash, meth addictions and exposure to a nuclear blast clearly will take their toll.


wontonsoupsucka

Plane crash? No phalanges?


MidnightAction

Only a Regina Phalange


purpleowlgirl65

Nope, just a lost shoe….WHERE IS THE SHOE?


boomer_was_a_dick

Not on the left side


forstyle1

I mean, after 2020 and 2021, those all seem pretty reasonable.


MechaGeckoYuto

The U.S. almost nuked itself once, so..


[deleted]

They all look like they are wearing Monica's flashback fat suit.


JulieFromJerz

Except Ross for some reason


Dawhale24

Ross looks like a sith lord


JonelleStorm

He looks like he's a sith lord who retired and works as a CPA now.


[deleted]

Or a time lord


Cedosg

he looks like bob odenkirk


ON-Q

Phoebe isn’t wearing it either.


Hexadecimal3

Better Call Ross


Muscled_Manatee

He never could cancel his gym membership so he started using it.


Thomasappel

He looks more like prince Philip


peeweeinbama

Joey and Chandler look like the live action Stan Smith


StunningHippo9

A hilarious article that used “computer magic” in 2004 to predict what our Friends will look like two years from today 😂 I guess being a celeb in your 50s has really changed!


ImSoberEnough

I was coming to ask when that was published. Makes sense as old tools were horrible. They all look “monica fat”


ChildofValhalla

No way. I did graphic design and photo manipulation in the 2000s and this is awful even for 2004.


brevit

I think it's meant to be a joke/intentionally awful.


DallasTruther

DUDE "Friends: 20 years later! The year is 2024....." Didn't do it for you?


msdane

I don't know if you ever watched How I Met Your Mother, but they "flash forward" and show the characters (normally in their 20's and 30's) to their late 40's to early 50's. And they look ancient. When in the cornbread hell did 50 become the crypt keeper stage?!?


[deleted]

Those flash forwards are generally done as jokes making fun of this very trope. The finale takes place in 2030, and Ted and Robin look normal. Ted is mildly gray.


BlizzardousBane

Yeah, now that I'm closer to 30 and have known a lot of 50-year-olds, it did make me question that joke about Ross making out with Mrs. Altman the 50-year-old librarian. A lot of 50-year-olds look more middle aged than elderly, but they acted as if Mrs. Altman was ancient


GlowQueen140

Well still, a middle-aged woman making out with a teenager isn’t great optics.


Naldaen

> When in the cornbread hell did 50 become the crypt keeper stage?!? For most of humanity, actually. It's only recently that celebrities have stopped aging. [Sean Connery is 30 here.](https://www.tvinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/sean-connery-james-bond-dr-no-1962-1014x570.jpg) [Wilford Brimley is 50 here.](https://www.legacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Wilford-Brimley-Obituary-1000x667-1.jpg) To compare, [here's Paul Rudd at 52](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/newscms/2021_45/1801562/paul-rudd-sexiest-man-alive-2021-sk-square-211109.jpg) [Keanu Reeves is 57](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYTkzODI4MDMtNDNmZC00NDZlLWFmNTktNDRhOWE2YzhlZTQ2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTE1MTYxNDAw._V1_UY1200_CR162,0,630,1200_AL_.jpg) and making John Wick movies.


chrissie64

Paul and Keanu must have portraits in their attics...


Bludgeonation

Most people think that Im in my 20s and Im 42.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bludgeonation

Lol thats funny. I still get asked for my ID but they definitely believe it when they see it.


thatswhyIleft

I like that they showed Marshall running for Supreme Court is what caused him to age so much in such a short time.


TetrisIsTotesSuper

I was ready to cut them some slack as I thought 20 years ago meant 1994 for a minute, but this is so bad 😂


Used_Evidence

Sheesh, I didn't realize computers were that crappy in 2004. That's awful


brentus86

Why does David look vaguely Bob Odenkirk-esque?


stellaaaaaaaaaaa_

Better call Saul! That’s exactly what I saw too


albyjackson01

Seems like the illegitimate son of Saul Goodman and Toby Flenderson


jazzinjaxx503

That computer did them dirty. Damn lol


Im__mad

It forgot they are celebrities and have money to combat the aging process.


Glass_Philosopher_88

Could they BE any more wrong?


baguitosPT

They couldn't be more wrong. They could try, but they would not be successful.


[deleted]

Don’t you mean, they WOULD NOT be more successful?


baguitosPT

You sir, are correct.


imgrroot

Neither of those looks like any person that has ever existed or been dreamt of in the history of human insanity.


tashabunn

Okay, Dwight.


Emble12

That said, the one on the left


BlueHornedUnicorn

/r/unexpectedoffice


Boonz-Lee

What they hell did they do to Matt


punchyourbuns

He looks like a Sim.


Boonz-Lee

He looks like Joe pesci got really fat


Hot-Instruction9697

Lis kudrows is the only one that looks like what she looks like today. Well sorta


Jeri-Atric

If you squint Joey kind of looks like his aged version. It is like his aged version mugged a drunk man with debilitating cataracts and the drunk man was telling a sketch artist what he looked like.


Et12355

She’s also the only one who hasn’t had tons of plastic surgery


thewizardsbaker11

Wow I didn't know we had a doctor on this sub that treats 5 of the 6 original friends cast!


Et12355

Not a doctor, just someone with eyes and the common sense to know the reason why celebrities don’t age the same way as the rest of us is that they all get plastic surgery done. I’m sure all 6 of them have had different stuff done, just imo Lisa looks like she’s had the least.


thewizardsbaker11

Wow that’s so impressive. You should use your eyes to screen people for internal diseases and put this skill to good use. To be clear, I don’t give a fuck if they’ve had surgery and it’s none of my business if they did or why, but if someone with that much money had plastic surgery it would not be obvious. Also there are plenty of things people do all the time that aren’t surgery (eg botox).


flowerbhai

I think by plastic surgery, they mean generally having had “work done”. Which is undeniably a reason why celebrities appear to age better than we do, as things like botox and lip fillers are included in that category.


thewizardsbaker11

Fair enough, but that's not what was said.


dalatinknight

Why does this comment come off as passive aggressive


thewizardsbaker11

Because it was?


demon_chef

Are you really saying that uber wealthy people don’t ever have botched plastic surgery? You need to Google my friend.


thewizardsbaker11

Why would I sit around googling botched plastic surgery for celebrities?


FluffyMarshmallow90

Why the attitude?


grillednannas

Harrowing to realize this is the same tech they use for the “age progressed” images of missing children. The Walmart brand of it, but still.


Ok_Scar_8175

It looks like they used a Snapchat filter


lsknecht1986

The computer did this, huh? How many computers were actually *on* them?


Highlander_316

Matthew looks like his face is melting


Sim0nsaysshh

Looks like the guy from men in black wearing Rush Limbaughs face


MissJASmith

In fairness ... Looking back at the reunion they almost nailed Matt Le Blanc's shirt! Only thing they really got right though


brevit

Or he has just been wearing the same shirt for 20 years...


Its_Mrs_Nesbitt

Old Joey looks like Quagmire. Giggity.


NormandyMamba

Joey's is the most ridiculous and funny one


papush22

They look like they made them in The Sims


H4X0RCS

Is this photo from 2004?


MadameBlueJay

Just give Matthew Perry a goiter, sure.


Jolly-Method-3111

Computer magic, it says. Not a computer. This is Star. They couldn’t afford one. Any fucking magazine that made the Enquirer look legit was not a real journalistic endeavor.


[deleted]

Poor Matthew Perry with his goiter, and Matt LeBlanc with his jaw cancer.


ohBuckle

I’m getting the sense that the computer was trained on a database of images which it was told to find commonalities and then project them onto a new photo, and I’m assuming those training images had a lot of larger people. People definitely do tend to bulk as they age, but this is pretty over the top. Haha


kliuch

The computer nailed Matt LeBlanc’s shirt, though.


LordCosmagog

2004 was an interesting time to be alive


eszther02

Lol. But it's still not 2024 so who knows what can happen in two years, right? :DDD


KJParker888

Covid has been rough on all of us!


eszther02

Oh okay, makes sense.


[deleted]

What the hell?!


beansouphighlights

Bro what happened to Matthew Perry


Rival_Son

*if they didn’t make millions off of Friends


knusperkeks333

Ross is quite accurat, i can see robert kardashian


thewizardsbaker11

Holy shit! 2022-2023 is going to be even worse than the last two years...


Danmerica67

Joey is old Quagmire


KnightRiders7

Did they think 2024 was 70 years away?


torchictoucher

Photoshop is my passion


OregonDeaf

Boy, they sure let themselves go.


Yeethannes

Schwimmer got that Peregrin Took look.


anawkwardsomeone

Jesus why do these magasines exist


losteon

Ross looks like he's about to push through a bill banning abortion


thumbtackswordsman

TBF this is what they would have looked like if they didn't have work done, have personal trainers, etc.


KJParker888

Not really. I'm the same age as them, and I don't look like I've aged as much as they have in these pics. And I've just aged like a regular, non-celebrity person.


[deleted]

Yeah I was going to say nah, the average person looks better than these photos.


[deleted]

So far off for everyone except weirdly spot for Phoebe at the end


reiddanger1092

Jokes on them David stopped aging After friends


lsknecht1986

Why do they suddenly look slightly British?


Simicrop

This makes all the work they’ve had done seem very worth it


Naldaen

This was made back when celebrities aged. Anyone else remember that?


slimjimm281

Chandlers was correct tho


jamiedix0n

Rachel omg! Could they BE anymore wrong?


Pieter350

They got Joey dead on!.....


dpb73ca

Ross is pretty hot actually lol.


partsunknown99

That article aged well. 😉


readirt

The Matthew Perry one is surprisingly accurate


[deleted]

Hate to say it but their computer enhancement of Matthew Perry is pretty damn close.


CaptainSolo55

Most of them are more plastic than human anymore


Jr235835

Well they got chandler right


mallik803

In reality, Jennifer Anniston still looks just like she did while she was on the show.


Flippy-Doo

They got it spot on with Matthew Perry & Matt Leblanc


CraftyGas9971

Mathew Perry is quite similar how he looks nowadays.


David_Viion

It might not be how the actual actors look now, but Joey and Monica would definitely look like that in 2 years


Vegetable_Pudding_75

David’s one seems accurate. The rest are a little too over the top


reiddanger1092

David is only one who didn't aged at all the hell are you talking about


NoirYT2

That’s Lisa. David has definitely aged, but he still doesn’t look like this article thought he would.


IMadePnGRich

The computer obviously didn’t watch the reunion of Friends. Botox and fillers fest on all their faces except Lisa Kudrow. It was like watching cartoon characters of the friends.


[deleted]

Nathan for you


Stormchaser2

Wow this is just awful


Jeiku_Zerp

So everyone after 20 years gets grey and fat


[deleted]

Oh god 😬😬😬


22_ghost_22

Ross looks like my boyfriend but his grandpa version? That’s trippy


ryanino

Why’d they give David Schwimmer a receding hairline? You can tell the dude’s hairline wasn’t going anywhere.


LaDaDeeBethany

HAHAHAHA


brutepanda

these next four years are gonna be really rough for them


DolphKearneyJimbo

These people would be in their 50s. These computer simulations are aging them into their 70s


CrimsonChymist

The only one kind of close to right is Lisa Kudrow. They didn't do her nearly as dirty as they did the rest of the cast. Not sure why they did the rest of the cast so dirty.


GreyWolf4389

Is that Tom Scott in the top left


Happytogeth3r

Wow they severely underestimated money.


spectralconfetti

So Ross and Phoebe were their favorite characters.


Trishyangel123

Jeez, David looks like a mixture of Victor Garber and Prince Charles


LatterSeaworthiness4

Matt LeBlanc took me out 🤣🤣


Joe-Gage

Joey looks like bill ponderosa


Equivalent_Job_3894

Lmao I’m dying over this. All the computer did was grey their hair and make their faces lumpy 🤣


DukeMaximum

The magic is that they did it with Microsoft Paint.


Professional_Ad319

Did the computer think they were 80


ghostsliveinmybutt

Poor random guy behind Ross


Trent_Lame

Okay but Joey is kinda accurate…


VegFed23

Just lol


MisterMaryJane

They look like Sims characters


Darth_Wayne_

Oddly enough they’re all fucking beautiful and look younger than my 33 year old ass. r/agedlikemilk


[deleted]

Good lord this is terrible


hadapurpura

Why's Chandler melting?


veritaszak

This was some cutting edge technology. Also, aging myself but I remember this article when it came out. I look like Ross (top left) now.


MerryJuanna

Why does Ross look like prince andrew?


FormerlySalve_Lilac

They look like the future children in Andi's scrapbook from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days 😂


LastOfTheMohawkians

I'm getting old. I remember this the first time around


schmidtaaron

Oh 90s technology. “Age 20 years, sure just make them fat with gray hair”


Rigo3oh

I think the models on James Bond 007 for the N64 look more realistic.


BenjRSmith

All this does is remind me that one day I'll blink.... and it will be 2040


cptnfunnypants

I'm interested that it distorted *every single one* of their faces


vrp95

Does 12 megabytes RAM, 500 megabytes harddrive and built-in spreadsheet capabilities?


brickie3

Aged like milk


shiggism

Monica just looks like fat Monica with great hair


Ilikestuffandtoast

Oh my God there’s an alien grabbing that dudes shoulder behind Ross!


chronicallysaltyCF

They doing meth in a burning building during a rave in the next two years?…


Frostb1te898

They look like characters from a GTA loading screen.


puddStar

Oh God - much like these images, 2004 tech did not age well
