From Avengers to Carrie Underwood, A-listers rock wrinkles in epic FaceApp transformations
Much like the rest of the internet, celebrities can't get enough of the FaceApp transformation trend.
From Gordon Ramsey to Snooki to Carrie Underwood, a number of celebs gave fans a sneak peek into what they could look like in a few decades via the iOS and Android mobile app, which allows users to apply filters to photos of themselves that reveal what they might look like in old age. When users add the filter, they can see their selfies turn into elderly versions of themselves – with wrinkles, gray hair and all.
Sharing a photo of himself rocking gray hair on Instagram Tuesday, Drake turned his transformation into a contest for free tickets to OVO Fest this August in Toronto.
"Best caption wins ovo tickets," he wrote on a picture of his aged self looking to the side with his hands in his pockets.
Some entries?
"Ended at the Top," one user commented, referencing the rapper's hit song "Started from The Bottom."
"When she says she’s into older guys," wrote another. "#grandpapi"

FaceApp seems all fun and games, but some privacy and security experts have raised eyebrows over its privacy policy, expressing concerns that users granting the St. Petersburg, Russian-based FaceApp access to photos on their smartphones is a grand giveaway of privacy and personal information.
Users often grant access to their photos – and to their Facebook account – to use the app, but FaceApp's Terms of Service and Privacy notifications don't explain how deep its access may go.
