Freddie 69th aging picture

A few years back i saw some pics of Freddie at a older age, photoshopped or something.
But i never saw any good one, except the one i attached.
Are there people here that are good in aging photo's of people ?
What year, maybe 1989, was the last year that Freddie didn't look sick ?
Would that be a starting point of aging him ?
Too bad i suck at manipulating photo's

Ehhh yeah I could see him looking like that kind of..

Hmm, that's actually pretty good. He could look like that in my imagination. Always like the beard he grew around 1988/1989.

This one is capable of nightmares:

The one OP posted is actually decent, though.

He would never had grown a goatee, not his style.
Unless he was swayed by this..

pretty sure would have gotten some botox or plastic surgery done.. a la Cliff Richards... that would have given him the appearance of the earlier post in this thread. Otherwise, he'd probably go the way of the latter.

God, That's hilarious! Belongs on a t shirt.

Although ya gotta admit at least the person put an effort toward real aging

To be honest I think if you wanted to know what Freddie might have looked like aged 69, I always thought that in the Brits 1990, he looked well over 43 - in retrospect it's clear to see that he aged very quickly between the Magic Tour and the Brits, and I think by 1990 if you'd told me he was in his mid to late 50s, I'd believe you. By Days of our Lives, he looked like a frail old man trying to recapture his youth. Now, I KNOW that wasn't the case, but I'm not the first person to have noticed this.

Also, he looks quite like his father, so his father in pictures around 1977 (I think there's one with his parents taken in his London flat, right?) would probably show accurately how Freddie might look now if he wasn't a rock star. Since he was a rock star and would probably like to keep himself in shape, quite possibly dye his hair, and possibly have a little filler here and there, and a nip and tuck, I bet he'd look like he did in say, Headlong or Days Of Our Lives, but with more weight, and deeper wrinkles.

Maybe there are some fans here that can make a accurate aging picture, maybe with some professional aging software ?

One thing's for sure - he'd be bald. Most of the photos I've seen just show him with a receding hairline. He already had a receding hairline and a balding crown in 1990 - so by now it would be much more than just receding.

Ah yes, of course, the "Aging" function in Photoshop. It's so easy!

/\ HAUHAHAUHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAAHHAAHAHAH

Not sure he'd be bald, to be honest, his father still had hair in the pictures we have seen of him - even the photo in 1978, Bomi was older than Freddie would be now.

I know you've all seen them before (well most of you will have), but it's worth another look, except that one that seems to be a paparazzi shot...

I think Freddie would have experimented with hair pieces to be honest.

It's true that Bomi had hair at least up till the 1980s. But male baldness doesn't follow the paternal line for the most part. It's a combination of genetic factors, but the most important genetic factor is the mother's father - i.e. Jer's dad. That said, you can find two brothers, one of whom is completely bald, while the other has hair.

Freddie's hair started receding at the temples around 1984 - in most photos you can see that his previously very thick hair at the front had thinned out. It became more noticeable around 1986. Then by 1990 he'd receded quite a bit more. His crown was balding even worse - he himself maintained he had a 'double crown' and that he wasn't balding - like most men he was sensitive about the matter.

Now it's possible that his receding hairline would have progressed very slowly. Take Jude Law for example, he's had a receding hairline for at least a decade, but once it reached a certain (very noticable) point, it has since receded very slowly. Others might progress very quickly, and lose all their hair in a few of years (e.g. Bruce Willis).

I think Freddie would have progressed slowly - especially since at 45 he still had a decent hairline all things considered (him being sick probably made it worse). But by now I'm pretty confident his hair would be similar to how John's looked in that recent (2015) photo somebody snapped of him getting into his car.
