Digital Pranksters Create Celebrities In Their Alternate Gender
By Lauren B
Top celebrities have famous faces, by definition. They try to hide from the paparazzi. They shapeshift with makeup and prosthetics for roles. But for the most part, there’s nothing they can do to hide from our prying eyes. Until now, that is! Face filter apps are nothing new, but there’s a silly technology that changes your gender. Jokesters have taken celebs and transformed them into men, women, and back again. Normally, we can recognize these icons a mile away — but this time, you could miss them in a crowd. Men get long hair and women get beards and mustaches. Guys get softer features and gals look rougher and tougher. It’s internet magic! Check out the most confusing gender swaps, next.
Yoo Hoo, Elon Musk
Elon Musk has done it all. He built rocket ships and electric cars. He shocked the world and became the owner of Twitter. For a while, he was the richest man on the planet. But there’s one thing he hasn’t done: He’s never morphed into a woman.
Today, that all changes. Elon has been edited against his will, and we’re giggling. Early in his career, he was balding. He got a hair transplant, but this is the most hair he’s ever had. Those locks are luscious, indeed.
You’re Gorgeous, Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay has made millions cooking and screaming on TV. That’s exactly how we like him, of course. No complaints from us! We are curious if the show would be the same with a female chef. Now, we can visualize it.
Here, Gordon has been generated with long, golden hair. The digital stylist has given him bangs. Not everyone has a face for that look, but it suits him well. The new Gordon may be unfamiliar, but he’s got the same signature rage.
Hey Man, It’s Miley
Miley Cyrus actually started her career on Hannah Montana. But honestly, we barely remember that phase. Since then, she’s developed a career singing edgy songs with her raspy voice. As an experiment: What if she had an even lower voice?
If she had bass in her voice, she might look a bit like this. The new Miley has the same eyes and smile. But her jawline is more pronounced and it’s sprouting hairs. Her mustache is filling in nicely, too.
Eminem Goes Soft
Back in the 90s, Eminem amused the youth and disturbed parents. All these years later, he’s the real slim shady. Online, he’s changing right before our eyes. Some say he is improving! Check out Eminem in soft glam, right here.
Eminem always had an aggressive personality. Some might even say he was hostile. But here, it’s hard to imagine that version at all. His sculpted brows and mascara are just lovely. His hair is enviable and we’d love some tips. Alas, it’s digital magic.
Britney Spears is a Dude
Britney Spears is the pop icon back in the news. In recent years, fans became concerned about her freedom. Eventually, she won all her legal battles. Surprisingly, though, that’s not the weirdest thing going on with Britney. This look is new!
Britney has been transformed into a man, beard and all. It’s a surprise, but we like what we see. This rugged new fellow could be a heartbreaker, if only he were real. He’s not, of course. But we can dream, and we will.
Rihanna, Lookin’ Rough
Rihanna is one of the biggest pop stars today, and for good reason. She’s stylish and sassy, and her voice is instantly recognizable. Everyone wants a bit of her vibe. But now that she is a man, will that continue?
We think so, all things considered. There’s too much talent here to waste. The app has given her a mustache and beard with short hair. Her piercing gaze grabs your attention immediately. We conclude Riri is a star in any form.
Scarlett Johansson is Handsome
There’s a good chance Scarlett Johansson is your favorite blond. She’s beautiful and talented, but we’ve heard she is looking for a new challenge. Maybe her next role can be a gender bender. This could be her look, according to an app.
ScarJo’s hair has been chopped off, but that isn’t unusual nowadays. The real change is in her face. She has been masculinized. Her jaw and forehead are modified, but we see her essence. This it-girl can’t hide from us, even as a man.
The Beauty of Tom Brady
Tom Brady is a football superstar. You know him and we know him. The quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently claimed he was retiring. Then, he came back. Fans gossip: Is Tom confused, or is something else going on?
Recently, he announced a divorce from wife Gisele Bündchen. There was much speculation that his football career might have been the last straw. But if this picture is any indication, there’s way more going on. Tom is a woman, digitally!
Beyoncé Has a Beard
Beyoncé is one of the biggest female artists out there. But she doesn’t like to be put in a box. Once, she asked: “Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything?”
Well, maybe she’s right. As a woman, she is a cultural icon around the globe. Many call her by her nickname, “Queen Bey”. Would she get the same attention as a man? Here’s a prototype of “King Bey” for your consideration.
Cara Delevingne, Still Striking
Cara Delevingne is a British model, and occasionally, an actress. She won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards not once, but twice. She’s on billboards and in magazines. Designers can’t get enough of her striking features. We can’t blame them!
It’s fair to say her eyes and brows are instantly recognizable. Even as a man, we know this is Cara from a mile away. We think she would get work as a model in this state. As they say: When you’ve got it, you’ve got it.
Judge Judy 2.0
Daytime TV went wild for Judge Judy Sheindlin and her no-nonsense attitude. In front of millions, she settled real-life cases under $5,000. This lady was sassy. She taught people hard lessons. But what if a man gave the same lectures?
If you ever wondered, we’ve got you covered. Judy has been transformed into a man right before our eyes. She’s got the same stern look, but now, there’s more beard. Her hair is the same, though. That’s a bit odd!
Stranger Than Winona Ryder
Actress Winona Ryder rose to fame in the 90s for quirky roles. Now, fans who loved her in Edward Scissorhands see her on Stranger Things. We haven’t seen her play a man yet, which might be even stranger. Will she do that?
It’s certainly possible. Winona has already gotten critical acclaim for her work as a woman. Maybe she can explore new things in a new gender. Here is what she might look like if she goes that route. She’s handsome, isn’t she?
Honey, That’s Tom Hiddleston
Tom Hiddleston is an English hunk and a lover of suits. This refined man knows a good cut. On-screen, he plays Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom is a complex guy. Is there even more than meets the eye?
Here, we see Tom as a woman. Can he do that, at this point in his career? According to the actor: “Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination.”
Julia Roberts, Pretty Man
Over her career, Julia Roberts has collected an Oscar and a handful of Golden Globes. She’s played many roles, but she is still probably best known for Pretty Woman. Now, it’s time to see if she would make a pretty man. Does she?
Judging by the picture, absolutely. Julia could be a male star if we didn’t know any better. And we can say one thing conclusively. Those honey-brown eyes are her best feature, no matter her gender. Brown eyes are common, but hers are special.
The New Kanye West
This man is a rap and fashion billionaire. But what is his name, nowadays? You may know him as Kanye West, but he currently goes by Ye. These things seem to be fluid. But so far, he’s consistently been a man.
Here, Ye has taken on yet another form. His new look is considerably more feminine. We never thought he would go this route, but the digital age has many surprises. Is it an improvement? In this case, we say he looks better as a man.
Legally Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon is known for her roles in Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blonde. We can’t forget she won an Oscar for Walk the Line. Thanks to new tech, she has a more challenging role. We’ve made her into a man!
Out of all the females getting this makeover, Reese has one of the best results. Her naturally heart-shaped face is no more. She has been masculinized with a square jaw, but it fits. As observers, we are as surprised as Reese.
Look, it’s Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way since Titanic. He’s an Oscar winner and an activist. But more importantly, he’s a known ladies man. Leo won’t date anyone over 25. What would he look like as a young lady himself?
You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers. Virtual Leo has become a lovely young woman. These days, he sports stubble much of the time. But in his early career, he did have a softer face. That works well with this project. He’s a cutie!
Sorry, Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has sold over 150 million albums worldwide. Girls swoon for him when he sings “Baby”, “Sorry” and “Despacito”. He’s always had a babyface, but now, there’s a twist. Justin is a girl, and he doesn’t look half bad.
Take a look and see for yourself. With just a bit of gloss, Justin is a new man. And by man, we do mean woman. The transformation is not permanent, which he will be relieved to know. But for a moment online, we’re enjoying the switch.
Keanu Reeves is a Fox
Keanu Reeves made it big after Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. He became a superstar in The Matrix and its sequels. Lately, he has reemerged in the John Wick film series. Keanu clearly has many sides. Now, he has a new gender.
If you didn’t know better, you might think this is a colleague at work, a lady at the grocery store, or your own aunt. Though this actor is hard to miss as a man, he blends in well as a woman.
Halle Berry is Hunky
Halle Berry is a top beauty icon. That’s no coincidence: She began her career in modeling and even finished as runner-up in the Miss USA pageant. It’s hard to imagine someone this feminine as a man. But hey, here we are.
But maybe it’s a relief, in a way. Once, Halle shared: “Being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.”
Anderson Cooper Goes Glam
Anderson Cooper is a journalist and commentator on CNN. You may know his nightly show, Anderson Cooper 360°. Staring into his eyes each night, you might not realize the dreamy newsman comes from the Vanderbilt family. Undoubtedly, he has branched out in his own way.
Here, Mr. Cooper delivers the news yet again. He looks different with long, blond hair. But his face isn’t all that different. After the app treatment, we see his beauty cross boundaries. We wouldn’t want our news any other way.
Jeff Bezos is Bewitching
Jeff Bezos is an entrepreneur, to say the least. He started from the bottom with Amazon. Now a billionaire from this little project, he bought into newspaper ownership and even space. The one thing he hasn’t done is embrace his feminine side.
We think it’s a business experiment. Globally, women drive the economy with the most consumer spending. Jeff would know that better than anyone. Today, he tries out life as a customer on the other side. He’s doing okay, so far.
Hey, That’s Nicolas Cage
Nick Cage has had many hairstyles. Fans often question his looks. He claims: “Sometimes people think I’m wearing a wig when I’m not wearing a wig, and then sometimes they think I’m not wearing a wig when I am wearing a wig.”
Today is not the day to resolve that question. Yes, a program turned Nick into a chick. But we are still unsure if there is a wig involved. It might be the app, but it might be fake hair. We don’t know!
Celine Dion is Dashing
Celine Dion is a world-class songstress, without question. You know her songs as soon as you hear them. She sells out stadiums performing her greatest hits. It is no surprise that she is the best-selling Canadian recording artist of all time.
It’s not clear she would make it as a man. Would you want to hear “My Heart Will Go On” in a baritone? You probably wouldn’t even like it in tenor. A deeper voice would make it different, without a doubt.
Vintage Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler was a cast member on SNL in the 90s. Then, he starred in his own comedies. We see him in different genres, these days. But let’s go back to the old Adam. He often dressed as a woman for his skits. Remember this?
We haven’t seen him in a wig for ages. But this app has brought back nostalgia. Who can forget the skits he did with Chris Farley and David Spade? Those greatest hits will never get old, even if they are now firmly in the past.
Johnny Depp is Divine
Actor Johnny Depp has been a looker for decades. Millions of gals wanted to date him back in the day, and many still do. Once, he won the title of sexiest man alive. Jokesters on the net decided to swap this hunk.
Truthfully, Johnny is still grabbing our attention. There’s just something magnetic about this man, even as a woman. In related news, daughter Lily-Rose Depp is getting involved in modeling. Designers love her face, and half of it comes from Johnny.
Lady Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon started as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. We giggled with him once a week. But now, he does this five days a week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Typically, he does that in a fancy suit.
Jimmy is no longer that man. The man we thought we knew is now a woman. Here, he smiles with a shy expression. He isn’t settled in new skin yet. For most females, there’s a phase like that. Poor Jimmy!
Chris Hemsworth is a Knockout
Chris Hemsworth plays Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Behind the scenes, he works out to have a physique worthy of the God of Thunder. He’s a very masculine man, and that makes this Faceswap shocking. He’s a fab female!
His baby blues are here, but much has changed. He lost the stubble and his chin has been softened by artificial intelligence. His nose has shrunk down to a more manageable size. He looks more like a Christine, for now.
Ed Sheeran, Ginger Lass
Ed Sheeran has sold records — a lot of records. So far, the count is past 150 million worldwide. It’s hard for him to go anywhere without being recognized by fans. Privacy might seem impossible now. But has he considered dressing as a woman?
If he hasn’t, this photo might do the trick. Ed has kept his essential features, even under al that hair. He’s got a sweet little smile. As “The Shape of You” plays on the radio, few will recognize his new shape. It’s a win-win, really.
Lady Gaga is a Man
Lady Gaga has too many hits to count, at this point. But “Born This Way” was one of her biggest hits as an anthem for everyone. She sang: “I’m beautiful in my way ’cause God makes no mistakes. I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way.”
It’s a good thing she has accepted who she is inside. Her outside has suddenly changed. Lady Gaga is now Sir Gaga. There were some rumors like that early in her career. But thanks to technology, it has finally come true.
