A picture of Gackt from high school compared to him as he is today. The first response that anyone has to these pictures is “ZOMG he’s had tons of plastic surgeries”. But something’s not right here another photo of Gackt was also released to the public.
Unlike the first high school picture the second picture looks just like Gackt.
A side by side comparison makes this even more evident. So if this is true then why does the first comparison look so different from Gackt? Well lets take a look at the after shot when compared to any picture of Gackt that isn’t photoshoped.
Notice something wrong here? See how his skin is glowing like a light bulb. Its been baddly photoshopped. Just compare this photo to any Gackt photo without photoshop.
Notice how in everyone Gackt’s face looks glaringly different? The after shot is so heavily photo shopped it barely resembles the real Gackt.
Now lets move on to the next subject double eyelids. Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that adds a crease to the upper eyelids ,and just like every other surgery, Gackt has been accused of getting it. So lets see some examples of Gackt’s face.
No eyelid crease.
But in this picture you clearly see an eyelid crease?
Since both pictures are from the same photo shoot this could only mean one thing. Gackt has superhuman plastic surgery powers! Wait a minute that doesn’t make any since. There must be something going on here. Well heres some facts 50% of all Asians have double-eyelids while the other half fits into two groups people with single eye-lids ,eyelids that don’t have a crease, and people with hooded eyelids eye lids with a crease set too close to the eyelash to be seen except at certain angles. In other words
When Gackt looks up or forward no crease
When Gackt looks to the down or to the side creased.
Thus solves the mystery of Gackt’s “double-lids”. Sure I can’t prove Gackt hasn’t had any plastic surgery ever. But I have plenty evidence that he hasn’t had the purported tons of surgery that people like to claim on blogs and forums. Why would he, if he didn’t even bother to get the comparatively common double-lid eye surgery. Why would he bother with the more expensive more invasive surgeries?
Here is my personal opinion on the subject of Gackt and whether or not he's had plastic surgery. Considering Gackt Camui has been in the public eye since 1994 and about to turn 40. If he's had plastic surgery .... WHO CARES!? He looks good and he's an amazing talent. I was hooked by his talent before I ever saw his face. If all you can care about is someone's looks and not see the rest of the person. Then you are simply part of the problem. Appreciate him for what he is and that is a very gifted artist.
ReplyDelete-clapping- Well said!
Delete...Can I hug you? Seriously, I've been working on collecting pictures to show comparisons because so many people claim "GACKT has had tons of surgery!" Then I find your site here. There are so many forums and blogs that have that first, infamous picture of high school G and "beautiful model" G - and only one blog which points out that the comparison picture isn't even a good choice FOR comparison. What's up with that? (I too was thinking that Kenshin would make a good comparison actually.) Thanks for being the voice of reason.
ReplyDeleteYour second comparison picture is perfect and I love the extra jab you make at the double eyelid surgery. The more pictures I see of his face, the more I think: "He just really DOESN'T have double eyelids. It's more like... the eyelids drooping to his eyelashes. Which isn't what a double eyelid does at all." Hooded eyelids-- that's the expression I was looking for!
It's not that I'm trying to defend him because of the he-can-do-no-wrong mentality. I just think that if you're going to attack, at least use quality evidence. Similarly, if you're defending, have something to back the defense and not simple fangirl adoration. So again, thank you for a well-written blog post!
i saw gackt @ internet and thought"he's very flashy, he must had been series of plastic sugery". and ur post prove it right. thabks dude. great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is nice :D
ReplyDeleteAlso there's a lot of make-up here (in Japan) to make your eyelid look like it's double.. My VK boyfriend uses plain eyelash glew and gets it into a double eyelid haha XD I think for Gackt it's mostly the power of makeup and regarding pictures: angles and photoshop, just like every other celeb/model whatever on this planet. He might have had some few touch ups over the years but to be honest, Asian men age so well :'D It's insane XD Some don't though obviously but a lot of Asians age really well up to a certain age.
