Amazing FaceApp reveals older faces of Beatles, Elvis Presley and more stars

Most people try to hide their wrinkles, so it’s something of a surprise to see an app to deliberately age you sweeping the internet - especially among celebrities.

But then again, according to Keith Richards, 71, “some things get better with age. Like me.”

Earlier this week, we showed what lots of stars looked like after being filtered by the infamous FaceApp tool.

But how accurate is it really?

We tested it on celebs such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Elvis to see what they would look like years later, using to pictures from their prime - to see how closely they would resemble reality.

The filtered images of Paul McCartney and Tom Jones certainly had us reaching for our glasses to check if it was the real deal.

Meanwhile the snaps of Elvis and George Best gave us an inkling — or wrinkling — of what might have been.

However, the company has denied any wrongdoing.
