Can any person ever claim to have confused 23 year old Emma Watson for 41 year old Sofia Vergara?
It seems that they can-The two stars Emma Watson (Noah, Harry Potter, Bling Ring) and Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) have become part of one of the most bizarre GIF's to trend in the web.
The GIF, there is also a video entitled, "Emma Watson Unmasked" (which was posted last Wednesday on Imgur by user SleepingPill) shows the merging of the two stars, taking a turn into crazy town-horror territory when Emma Watson, looking as lovely as always, proceeds to take off her own face only to reveal Sofia Vergara underneath. Yes it sounds weird, you can only imagine how it actually looks.
Emma Watson and Sofia Vergara, you can think of them as the most unlikely couple to be paired ever in history of this world- It's totally out there and that's exactly what makes it work.
Showing what the mix of randomness, boredom, having extra time on your hands and basic CGI knowledge can do- resulting in pure gold-that it can result in good things.
The GIF has since garnered 80,000 views on the site and has been featured on other sites Huffington Post, Celebuzz and Yahoo Movie UK to name a few.
It's all quite daunting the seamless transition between not only the faces, but the body types as well. (British, elfin, pale, skinny Emma Watson quickly becomes curvaceous, Columbian bombshell Sofia Vergara) You seriously cannot tell where Emma Watson begins and where Sofia Vergara ends.
Inspired by a Youtube video "Susan masks and unmasks" released in 2011 which showcased a woman named Kerry Johnson demonstrating the application and removal of a full head and torso silicone mask. She's been selling and distributing those kind of accessories for twenty years now.
The effect is achieved through some computer manipulation work and facial overlay.
