Ah, zoom OUT (19 photos)

#7, #15, #19 are the scariest… BUT.. pictures this close is never a good idea. Not even for "celebs".

Poor Vanessa Paradis' gap. It gets no respect…

#17 looks a little jaundiced

Wow this post makes me feel beautiful!

Would be more interested if they weren't super over sharpened. Even a great photo of a beautiful person looks creepy when sharpened this much.
And Jeff Bridges looks awesome. Some of these people look great still, even close up. Just because they are celebrities doesn't mean they are photoshop perfect in real life

Oddee had this posted yesterday..feeling pretty good about myself

Funny, had no idea who half these were until I saw the thumbnails in the comments. This is exactly why I try to avoid using my 20x magnification mirror.

Who is #15

[...] ever having a bad day or whatever, or feeling down about your self-image, just take a look here for a compilation of what many of your favorite celebrities really look like close up. [...]

I think men won this one

#15 VANESSA?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! WTH????

These should be captioned so we can tell who they are.

its just HDR affects that burns the images… most of them aren't that bad.

Photoshop > HDR Toning > Unsharp Mask > Contrast Correction et voilà everybody looks like shit.

[...] Celebrities are not as beautiful as you may think- The Berry [...]

#19 UGLY close or not!

this is fucking terrifying

#11 fuck that i want it as my iphone background

This is ridiculous. If you take anyone's picture and then over-saturate it and sharpen it, they will look like leather.

How dare these people be human and age and have imperfections?? They have a lot of nerve!!

They look like the FBI TOP FUGITIVES CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN…….PEDO BEAR APPROVED! AND LORD HELP ME…..#7 AND #13 HAVE THEIR RAPE FACE AT FULL THROTTLE

#3 LOOKS LIKE A SHAVED BALL SACK!!!!

#9=the very last scene of 'Death Becomes Her'.

IMO, Kenny Rogers (8) looks better up close than at a distance.
But the best of the bunch was Jeff Bridges (11). Most of the rest are downright scary! =:-o

Bottom line is quit putting celebrities up on a mantel of godliness, they are human like me and you. They just have more money, and more people kissing their asses.
