Celebrities Painted by Van Gogh

J. LO

J. LO

Jennifer Lopez is instantly recognizable, even as a Van Gogh painting, particularly with those signature cheekbones. So many, centuries apart, Van Goghe never quite had the privilege of being able to paint the living legend himself, but had they been alive in the same century, AI shows us just what a painting of her might have looked like. 

Jennifer Lopez started her career as a dancer on the sketch comedy series In Living Color before she landed her first major acting role playing legendary singer Selena. She went on to pursue a somewhat successful movie career in the '90s before turning her focus to a music career after her debut studio album in 1999. With a cumulative film gross of $3.1 billion, and 80 million records sold, J. LO has become a living legend.

Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken

The prolific and eccentric actor Christopher Walken is one of the most talented in Hollywood, known for his, unique delivery, of lines, where he pauses, to emphasize, certain phrases. There's no one quite like him and there never will be again. Having over 130 film credits to his name, he's certainly left his mark on cinema, and right now, he's leaving it on Broadway too.

Christopher Walken's unique facial features are captured perfectly in this Van Gogh-style portrait. A face that has served him well in numerous villain roles over the years without the need for makeup, is a face we've come to truly adore. But what else does this portrait need? It needs more cowbell!

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks

Known for both his comedic and dramatic roles, Tom Hanks has one of the most relatable personalities in Hollywood, making him the perfect everyman in each role. The two-time Oscar winner may not have the physique of an action star or the dashing good looks of Hollywood's typical Hollywood stories, but we love him nonetheless.

Here we see Tom Hanks immortalized as a Van Gogh painting, and boy does it work well. If any celebrity out there has undoubtedly earned this, Mr. Hanks is one of them. It's certainly about time someone painted a portrait of him. You may not have ever expected to see Tom Hanks as a Van Gogh painting, but hey, life is like a box of chocolates!

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon

Born Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, you know her just as Reese Witherspoon. She's the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. Her bubbly personality and winning smile made audiences fall in love with her as she became America's Sweetheart and as her talent evolved, we loved her even more.

Van Gogh may never have had a chance to paint her but this portrait gives us a chance to see just what that might look like. We certainly recognize that chin anywhere and those bright blue eyes too. This is unmistakably Reese Witherspoon. 

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston skyrocketed to fame with her role in Friends. As she began to progress her film career, she became one of the highest-paid actresses in the world. Over her career, she has won multiple awards, including two Screen Actor's Guild awards, a Golden Globe award and a Primetime Emmy Award. 

This Van Gogh version of Jennifer Aniston is certainly spot-on. From the Rachel haircut to that nose and long facial structure, this captures Aniston's most alluring features. This would undoubtedly be a celebrity that Van Gogh would cut off his other ear for. 

Too soon?

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian

And here we have the most famous of celebrities, who is famous simply for being rich. From her prolific marriages to her media blunders, we are always wondering what Kim Kardashian is up to next. Some people still tune in to her reality show as indulge in every minute of her antics.

If Kim Kardashian were alive in Van Gogh's time or vice versa, there'd be no way he could have avoided painting her. Surely someone would have commissioned that painting, that is, if people even knew who he was. Right now, she's probably more famous than Van Gogh, although she has the advantage of being alive.
