Robert De Niro and More Movie Stars Who Have Been Digitally De-Aged
One of the first films to attempt the computer-generated de-aging process was X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006 for a flashback scene starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Two years later, the visual effects team behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button followed suit in order to make Brad Pitt’s title character age backward multiple decades.
Several other superhero flicks have also digitally touched up actors, such as Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Michelle Pfeiffer in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018).
