Michael Jackson is one of the greatest musicians of all time and if there’s one thing that perhaps damaged his legacy, it’s that he became so weird and messed up in the years leading up to his death.

One of the weirdest things about him was definitely the fact that he had so much obvious plastic surgery, even completely changing his skin tone. I haven’t really ever thought about what he would look like if he hadn’t fiddled with his features, but now that it’s been mentioned of course I want to know.

The Daily Mail managed to come up with this picture by taking a photograph of him back in the day and using some kind of high tech jiggery pokery to update it to the present day. And this is what he would have looked like:

Hmmm. Kinda weird right and doesn’t really look anything like Michael Jackson in his old age does it? I suppose that’s kinda the point though – to show just how drastically the plastic surgery messed up his face. If that’s not a reason to never get plastic surgery then I don’t know what is.
