Beauty influencers try de-aging Robert De Niro using selfie apps, and you know what? Not bad!

Here’s a true “damn, I wish I’d thought of that” moment: MEL Magazine took one 3.5-hour long look at The Irishman and thought, “I wonder if FaceTune would have done a better job than Industrial Light & Magic?” The answer, while not definitive, is damned entertaining, and what more do you want, really?
MEL asked five beauty influencers—FaceTune experts, VSCO girls, YouTube vloggers, you get the idea—to take a single still from The Irishman and let their powers fly. The moment in question (a funeral) arrives late in the film, and as such, Robert De Niro is not playing a much-younger version of himself, but instead, looks like what he is—an old dude.
They did not have millions and millions of dollars. They had FaceTune and other everyday selfie-editing apps. And the results? Not bad at all, comparatively.
