10 Actors DE-AGED For Huge Movie Roles

10. Paul Reubens - Pee-wee's Big Holiday (2016)

Pee-wee's Big Holiday proves that has-been comedy characters can make a bold, road trip-shape return to the big screen and still come up trumps, despite what Mr Bean's Holiday (2007) has to say about it. But it couldn't have been done without Pee-wee actor Paul Reubens committing to the bit.

Reprising his role as quirky oddball Pee-Wee Herman nearly three decades on from the last cinematic appearance of his character in Big Top Pee-wee (1988), Reubens had to look the part. Rather than take the sad-and-broken-old-man Indiana Jones/Obi-Wan approach, director John Lee would settle for nothing less than the original Pee-wee on full, youthful, flexible form.

Reubens certainly still had the slapstick sensibility, and the physicality to match, but his face told another story... Even on someone as preternaturally youthful as Reubens, 30 years takes a toll.

To combat some of the lines, wrinkles and general road-wear, the actor was de-aged and de-wrinkled digitally in post-production, with it taking the effects team around five months to edit the 63-year-old's appearance in every single frame of footage. But it's hard to argue with the subtle and pretty much seamless results.
