From a daily skincare routine to Botox and face lifts, some people will do almost anything to turn back the hands of time.
Now, some actors are going one step further and using a controversial technology to digitally ‘de-age’ their appearance.
In his latest film, Tom Hanks, 68, and his Forrest Gump co-star Robin Wright, 58, use AI to play the same couple at different stages in their lives.
Hanks says: ‘It’s a great tool, because the super computing means you do not have to wait for post-production to do the purely technical visual view of it.’
There has been growing concern over the use of AI in cinema, with many actors worrying that the technology will force humans out of the film industry.
However, both Hanks and Wright have defended the use of AI, saying it removes the need to cast younger actors.
If you want to de-age your photos, you’ll be happy to hear that you don’t need a Hollywood budget to give the technology a try.
