If it were artificial intelligence, its stuff would actually be smart, now we have to settle for stupid people pretending to be artificial intelligence
He looks like one of those old guys you see everyday, puttering around, and then one day you actually start talking in depth with them, and you realize they've had one intense life and been in more important moments in history than you could ever imagine.
They originally wanted to cast tim curry amfor this roll but the takes he did ended up being too terrifying so they went with Christopher Lloyd... I wish we got to see those curry takes
I love back to the future movies. My late father took me to the movies as a kid and was a great memory for me. Everytime I seed those movies I feel close to him.
After reading some of the comments, I suppose the left and bottom right could be legit photos with much more pixels, considering the other two were taken in the 80's
Not AI. Left is him as King Lear in a stage production in Lenox, MA, while bottom right is him as a "grampire" in R.L. Stine's Haunting Hour TV series.
He still looks weirdly waxy with wrinkles that are just way too deep. Both are at least AI upscaled because it does kind of remind me the nightmarish AI 4K upscale of True Lies.
They were probably real photos then sharpened with AI. The faces have the telltale AI enhancements of shiny smooth areas between unnaturally dark creases.

Man's been 60 since his mid 20s.

Man... time can really change people. If you showed me his current photo alone, I wouldn't know that that is Christopher Lloyd!

I would never know that was him. He looks very good for his age

The character of Dr Emmett Brown was one of my key childhood role models. The future is what you make it.

I used to talk with him on Facebook. (We had a mutual friend.)

They wanted to remake them. Director Robert Zemeckis said absolutely not.
cytherians
Yeah, there's no point. They're just too good as they are. Especially the first one.
Plus... I mean, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are so tightly bound to that franchise. It would be an insult to remake them.

Could've sworn the one on the left was Alan Moore.

Can't be Alan. The dude in the photo is smiling.

If this exchange wasn't here as an iconic bit of his acting, I was going to be so disappointed with this community, Odin bless y'all.

The left and bottom right look like AI...

After reading some of the comments, I suppose the left and bottom right could be legit photos with much more pixels, considering the other two were taken in the 80's
AgamemnonsMemes
THey kinda all have that overly smooth, sort of blurry AI look.
VaclavUrbanek
I hate how suspicious I feel I have to get about these things, but I think you're right.
onepinksheep
Not AI — see my other comment.
SaturnineCult
This is basic social media crap now. I wonder if they're using AI images just to dodge photography copyright rules?
onepinksheep
Not AI. Left is him as King Lear in a stage production in Lenox, MA, while bottom right is him as a "grampire" in R.L. Stine's Haunting Hour TV series.
onepinksheep
Also, you do realize he's an actor, right? High chances that photos of him that look different are just him in character.
VaclavUrbanek
He still looks weirdly waxy with wrinkles that are just way too deep. Both are at least AI upscaled because it does kind of remind me the nightmarish AI 4K upscale of True Lies.
VaclavUrbanek
Looking at it now, they all could be AI upscales, just the other two aren't as noticeable.

It is correct. I did a reverse image search and found the original

Imgur won't let me attach the picture for some reason so here's the original: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/rlstinesthehauntinghour/images/8/89/Grampires01.jpg/
AI upscaling really looks like garbage.
Horsebatteries
While the originals look absolutely fine. @op, why the heck would you not use the originals?
