Better Call Saul De-Aged: Jimmy, Chuck and Mike When They Were Young

[@justinchookasezian2082]

De-aged Jimmy looks really good. The fact that it’s in low lighting really helps it from looking too uncanny. De aged mike looks a little weird tho lol

[@bgbupkiss8466]

I think its just because its a much older actor.

[@guatquins]

Skin looks great on Mike but the old man droopy eyes hold it back

[@juanjoyaborja.3054]

True. Compare the de-aged Mike to Johnathan Banks when he was younger, and you’d notice that the de-aging doesn’t actually fix his eyes all that well. He has had that bored stare look for more than 40 years, but his eyes were still different before

[@christopherbowen1836]

In fairness, Mike’s a pretty weird guy who’s been through a lot of tough times, so there may well be parts of his appearance that would have appeared older than his biological age.

[@oddmanout4256]

That aint mike, thats Vin Diesel.

[@thomasalvarez6456]

Mike looks too young. It’s only a few years, maybe he should look like that in the Philadelphia flashback.

[@bentaylor8299]

even the Philadelphia flashbacks were only about 8 months before BCS began

[@Pllayer064]

People seem to forget that Mike was already in his early 50s by BCS timeline.

[@joeymejia794]

@@bentaylor8299 was it even 8 months? Bc wasn’t he still bleeding from his injury before he met the vet? I remember like episode 1 he grabbed tampons out of the train station to cover his wounds and stuff. So it must’ve been only like a few days at most right

[@macafromthewired]

@@joeymejia794 well the vet part is still a flashback isn't it?

[@musicaleuphoria8699]

I've always thought Mike was just that kind of old man that stayed the same age for an entire decade or two.

[@basedbattledroid3507]

You can't make Mike young because he has that thousand-yard stare of someone who's seen like 60+ years of serious shit

[@SleepyAdam]

Whoa that's the first time I've felt like Chuck actually looks like Jimmy's brother. Never realized how similar their voices were too.

[@JacquesMesrine94]

What a sick joke !

[@kasm7870]

Chuck is like, 10-something years older than him, if the abysmal Slippin Jimmy cartoon has any amount of canonical relevance.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

[@madgavin7568]

@@kasm7870 Almost 20 actually.

[@mxbx307]

Mark Margolis (aged 82) and Jonathan Banks (aged 75) were the oldest actors in the entire BCS/BrBa universe until just last week when Carol Burnett (aged 89) rocked up. The late Robert Forster (i.e. Ed the vacuum man) was 78. Bryan Cranston is 66, Bob Odenkirk is 59 and Rhea Seehorn is 50. Aaron Paul is 42 and even R J Mitte is 29. Hard to believe BrBa kicked off 14 years ago.

[@desireandfire]

14 years.. wow

[@buddric5672]

Rhea Seehorn is 50?! Seriously 😳 she’s aged like Scotch, she’s better looking then many women who are half her age.

This is beautiful I love watching the charachters like this

[@Celebok]

They needed to de-age Hank and Gomez. And Don Eladio.

[@truestorytyp]

Hank and Gomez strike me as those kind of guys that have looked the same since they turned 30 and then stopped aging both ways

[@mappingshaman5280]

In breaking bad don eladio was shown to look the same as he does now when he was in the 80s

Mike needs a little bit of work. He still has the face shape and eyes of an old man.

[@benedictjones6369]

still a good job.

[@mkko1510]

Since he was like 5 he has that look in the eyes

[@UDreviews]

His face seems to always have been this shape 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JoeMama-dt4jg]

This was only a few years before the events of breaking bad so he can’t look TOO young

[@benedictjones6369]

@@JoeMama-dt4jg Yeah true, but it could work in a movie about Mike before bcs? If this guy can make it look that good imagine what a good budget from Vince and Peter could do.

[@alexjustalexyt1144]

I really wish we can get a series re-edited to de-age the cast

[@Max-ke3ty]

This makes me appreciate Mike' eye acting that much more, it's completely lost in CGI. Jimmy looks terrific though - props to the show's make-up people for doing so much with just the haircuts.

[@_MaZTeR_]

Mike looks like his eyes are melted into his skin

[@tinidor08]

De aged chuck looks like a rockstar. Just make his hair long and it's good.

[@gamerman7276]

Watch This Is Spinal Tap lol

[@daph0307]

Jimmy looks good too. Typical handsome young man.

[@CurseEnforcer]

It's crazy cuz the actor played a band member in this is the spinal tap

[@JacquesMesrine94]

You can de-age Mike, but you will never shrink his ears...

[@gerardoreyes9888]

I absolutely love seeing them like this.

[@hasanhaitham276]

De-aged Mike looks like Frank Fontaine from Bioshock 1

[@klaojungwiwattanaporn6927]

First one's awesome. Mike still has uncanny quality to him, though.

[@joejones8776]

The scene between Jimmy and Chuck is so good it could have been in the show.

[@the19thgoomba38]

Saul looks like he's from a square enix game

[@phazoneatermetroid77]

Oh shit.... until this vid i didnt realize that Mike said that phrase first

[@NekoEnforcer]

I refuse to believe Mike was ever young

[@shadowprince101]

I just noticed, Jimmy himself repeats Mike's line here to Kim in s6.

[@nelsoncorreia7293]

Smooth Mike

[@sanjayraju988]

This looks like a videogame cutscene.

[@RudyBoy]

Incredible work, please do more of these

[@rikiishitoru8885]

That's what Mike looked like in the 80s Fr though watch Beverly Hills Cop, Johnathan Banks plays one of the main lackeys and that's exactly what he looks like, sans facial hair and baldness

[@engineergaming_tf]

For some reason, De-Aged Mike looks like an L.A Noire Character

I've gotten so used to old Mike seeing this is a shock

[@takakocaesar579]

middle aged man named finger

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

How? He looks like a stereotypical Italian American gangster, which fits a lot better than his 120 year old self we see in BCS.

[@HorseJoint]

De-Aged Finger is fucking terrifying. Ugh

[@Herr.P]

Mike is right "one day you just gonna wake up and think I haven't thought about it".

[@sippy1sippy]

I always never saw it when people told me Bob Odenkirk looked like Patrick Wilson but yeah... I see it now.

[@NebMunb]

Mike looks younger than when he was in Sanford $ Son

[@chaelmavik]

An artistic triumph in storytelling vs if MCU casted the actors for BCS.

[@Paraprax]

Great work. As good as anything on the big screen right now.

[@joewhite22]

Mike looks younger here than Pinkman does in the flashback Better Call Saul scene

[@ShahaanPunk]

These are actually pretty Brilliant.

[@ColdFuse96]

De-aged Chuck looks like Trump with that hair 😂

[@ShrimpG16]

Jonathan Banks eye acting is too advanced for de-aging technology I'm sorry, still impressive attempt

[@olderbrotherssistercousint2243]

I dont think thecynicalproductions got them from gdatyler since the quality of their most recent work seems better than gdatylers work, with the deaging being a lot cleaner. (Also the fact that TheCynicalProduction has done scenes that gdatyler hasn't)

[@yaboil5217]

de-aged Mike lowkey looks like a discount Joe Bastanich

[@grammarofficerkrupke4398]

Awesome job! I'd love to see this done with the entire show. I wish that I hadn't already seen everything and could start off from scratch with BCS first and then BB.

[@lemonynora]

this is incredible, they should hire you todo special editions

[@SodaPopBot]

When it comes to all other scenes, I think it's fine as is, wasn't distracted then, but the young Jimmy in jail + Chuck, yeah I appreciated the digital touch lol

[@ZombieWarfare200]

De-aged Bob Ofenkird reminds me of the actor Will Arnett.

[@BrandonTheOverthinker]

Mike looks uncanny

[@theAEDan]

One thing that de-aging can’t encapsulate is the subconscious regret that all human beings hold, of having made the wrong choices. They try to impart that wisdom on the next generation, but they know better. With time, they too will shoulder that burden

[@13metal1]

Uhuh

[@Hemphempmind]

Dude how are you doing this better than the ones who make the show?

Wow wait a minute .. "You're gonna realize you haven't thought about it " is what Jimmy says to Kim after Howard's death ... also this quote appears in the teaser for episode 11

[@realQuestion]

since they had limited money, I can understand why they didn't choose to spend it on CGI de-aging. Nevertheless, an interesting thing to see.

[@simonjack9699]

If you want to see Mike with hair just go watch Beverly Hills Cop one he's the guy who killed Axel Foley's best friend in Detroit yeah he used to have black hair. Same goes for 24 hours he played the detective that was killed by James AKA Harry Morgan from Dexter

[@boxparody9788]

[@kogerugaming]

Mike looks like the guy from "Oh shit, im sorry" video. If you know what I mean.

i think mike is TOO de-aged. some of the blemishes can be removed, but i think keeping some wrinkles would make it look better (eyes and forehead especially)
