When Aging Goes Wrong: The Worst On-Screen De-Aging Disasters

Digital de-aging, rubbery old-man masks, and the haunted CG face of baby Renesmee—this week on A.J. Chat, we’re counting down the absolute worst attempts to age characters in movies and television.

From The Irishman to Twilight: Breaking Dawn, these aging effects didn’t just miss the mark—they erased it completely. Whether it’s bad makeup, VFX nightmares, or questionable casting, we’re looking at every time Hollywood aged someone up (or down) and made it weird.
