Jennifer (pictured right in 2023) was said to be ‘puffier’ but still had beautiful hair
The photoshopped image of David (shown left and right in 2022) showed him in an extremely thin frame with barely any hair
The double page reads: ‘Friends: 20 years later! What they will look like. The year is 2024: Do you know who your friends are? Star uses computer magic to predict their future.”
As well as photos of the TV show’s stars, there were also photoshopped snaps of what they would look like in 2024.
And while the actors still have some time before 2024, it doesn’t look like Star’s prediction will come true.
The photoshopped image of David showed him in an extremely thin frame with barely any hair.

It read: ‘Ross: David may be graying at 57, but he won’t lose any of his boyish charm.’
Next, Jennifer was shown with dark gray hair.

Meanwhile, Matt (pictured right in 2022) had gray hair and his face had grown about three times its original size
Luckily, Lisa (pictured right in 2023) didn’t face exactly the same fate as her co-stars, as she sported only gray hair and kept the same facial structure.
The sentence read: ‘Rachel: She will be fatter, but Jennifer will always have beautiful hair.’
Meanwhile, Matt had gray hair and his face had grown about three times its original size.
“Joey: At least Matt will continue to be the ladies’ man at 56,” it read.
2024 Courteney also had the same ‘puffy’ look, but her hair and style remained the same.
“Monica: Courteney will still be stylish in her late 50s,” according to Star magazine.
According to the spread, Matthew will have a receding hairline and gray hair by 2024.
‘Matthew: Behold the Matthew of 2024 – could he be any crazier?’ according to Star magazine.
Finally, it was Lisa’s turn to face the “computer magic.”
Luckily, the Friends actress didn’t exactly face the same fate as her co-stars, as she sported only gray hair and kept the same facial structure.
