In Hollywood, beauty often takes center stage, and these four actresses are no strangers to that. They have been named the world’s most beautiful women and graced the covers of many magazines. But with the advent of AI, how would they look as men? Continue reading to find out.
1. Julia Roberts

In 1991, Roberts was named People’s Most Beautiful Woman at 23. She impressed not only the public but also prominent models of that time, like Eileen Ford, who said, “She is one of the few new great beauties.”

Over the years, Roberts’ appeal has not waned. In 2017, she was once again named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman by People, and has made the list five times!

However, the actress had a very humble reaction to it as she said, “I am very flattered.” She was told she surpassed her good friend George Clooney, who was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive twice. To this, the actress joked that she planned on mentioning her achievement in her Christmas card to the Clooneys.

Her repeated recognition highlights that Robert has captured the world with her physical beauty and her ability to connect with audiences through her genuine charm.

So, in a creative exploration of gender and appearance, if we were to imagine Roberts as a man, it would have to involve an artistic reimagining that maintains her characteristic smile and expressive eyes.

This is what an AI-generated photo imagined the actress would look like if she were a man. However, despite being named the world’s most beautiful woman multiple times, the 56-year-old has gone through a journey of evolving from her awkward years and finding her confidence as she gets older.
2. Demi Moore

Demi Moore is well-known as an actress and is now adding her personal stamp to fashion. She was featured in People’s list of the Most Beautiful Women in 2004. Over time, Moore has embraced every stage of her beauty and challenged conventional norms around age and attractiveness.

After dedicating half a decade to family life in Idaho, Moore made a return to Hollywood in 2002. At 41, she captured the media’s attention when she dated the much younger actor Ashton Kutcher. The media was also fascinated when she showcased her incredible physique in “Charlie’s Angels.”
Her producing partner, Suzanne Todd, revealed the secret behind Moore’s stunning appearance. She remarked that Moore focuses not on how she looks, but on how she feels.
Moore turned 60 in November 2022. When she reflected on entering this new decade, she said, “It feels very liberating.” She looked back at when her grandmother was 60, and it seemed like her life had stopped, but the actress was excited to live and explore more. “I feel, in so many ways, more alive and present than ever,” she added.

Just like Roberts, imagining the 61-year-old actress as a man would likely include emphasizing her intense eyes and defined jawline.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is another award-winning actress whose beauty has captivated audiences worldwide. She was recognized as one of People’s 50 Most Beautiful Women in 2001. However, she admitted that being named one of the most beautiful women has come with its own challenges and pressures.

The actress expressed that she found it intimidating when a script emphasizes a character’s beauty with descriptions like “beautiful, stunning, gorgeous.” She confessed, “Personally, I would never consider myself a great beauty, but my mother always told me to make the best of myself.”

On the other hand, her stance on anti-aging treatments is straightforward: “I am all for whatever makes you happy,” she said. The actress added that many cosmetic treatments can still maintain a person’s natural beauty.
But, in her opinion, the key secret ingredient to beauty is confidence. “Inner confidence is very empowering for women. Whatever that takes, do it,” emphasized the actress.

As her career progresses, Zeta-Jones, 54, is more intentional about the roles she plays. She now wants to stray away from characters who are defined by their physical appeal for ones with more depth.
She explained, “Most of the more interesting roles are not glamorous. For many years now, I’ve shied away from pretty roles, hoping for much more fleshed-out, real, warts-and-all characters to play.”

However, if we were to imagine Zeta-Jones as a man, it would need to involve translating her distinctive elegance and commanding presence, and this is what an AI-generated photo of her as a man imagined her to look like.

Catherine Zeta-Jones‘ reflections on beauty and aging, alongside her evolving preferences for character roles, indicate that she is consistently working on shifting boundaries and keeping her audience entertained.
4. Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is another beacon of talent and beauty in Hollywood. She was listed as one of People’s Most Beautiful Women in 2002. Around this time, the actress had a lot going on in her life. She had just survived her highly-publicized divorce from Tom Cruise, won a Golden Globe, and received an Oscar nomination for her role in “Moulin Rouge.”

This period not only marked a significant turn in her career but also solidified her status as a film industry icon. Despite these successes, Kidman has openly discussed the challenges of feeling invisible as one age in the industry. To get through this she advised, “Support each other and surround yourself with friends that you can talk to.”

From a beauty perspective, Kidman’s approach to maintaining her self-confidence is refreshingly grounded. She stresses the importance of physical activity and connection with nature as the few important things of her well-being. “I like to work out. I do something physical every day and I have to get outside,” Kidman reiterated.
