Time changes everything and everyone. No one is immune, not even the celebrities, even though some of them have invested heavily in surgical procedures which have altered their appearance beyond all recognition.

But we are not going to talk about them here. No, we are paying tribute to people who have aged with grace and managed to keep their charm.

They aged like wine, and it is more becoming that we say they look more experienced than older. These are the people who shaped our childhood and teenage years – we’ve cried and laughed with them, gone on different adventures, and had great fun.

Unfortunately, some of these wonderful people are no longer with us, and they are dearly missed. Dutch graphic designer Ard Gelinck gives us a new look at how stars change over time by creating natural-looking photoshopped images hanging out with their younger selves.

The “Then and Now” series is very popular and has earned Ard a following of over 301k people on Instagram. The featured celebrities also appreciate Ard’s work, and they love to reshare those photos.

We have chosen 30 of his latest pieces, and we know you are going to love them. Take a look.

Nostalgia overdose is coming...

2. Morgan Freeman

3. Pink

4. Jason Momoa

Ard says that the most popular characters are actors from Friends TV show."They were and still are mega-popular worldwide because this show was aired all over the world."

He also added that his recent post with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez was also very successful. They just got back together, and it was widely covered by the media.

The artist also said that he had to find a "respectful and lovely way to honor" beloved actress Betty White who recently passed away.

Does Ard have favorite celebs? "There are a few," he said.

"For example, I think Harry Styles has gone through a lot of development in music style and his voice. This also applies to Miley Cyrus; she has grown from a child star to a major global star.

Lady Gaga surprised me in a positive way. She was very good in 'A Star Is Born.' But there are so many more..."

We hope you've enjoyed these photos. We know we did...
