Michael Jackson's cosmetic surgery and its subsequently boorish results were perhaps more of a point of fascination than his long standing, splendid career, and his alleged paedophilia court run. We're talking about a man who helmed the title of the King of Pop over a career spanning decades; untouched, unmatchable and a true prodigy unto himself. The man who gave you everything from Thriller to Smooth Criminal. Yet, he was a mysterious character. One, whose true intentions were misunderstood and often skewed for benefits he never received. But it was truly his fascination and pursuit towards what we believe he imagined the perfect face would be, that caught everyone's attention. The time you remember him as the cute little mascot of The Jackson Five. While The Jackson Five sky-rocketed to fame as one of the first all African-American musician band to have gained international reputation for their music, the band of five brothers pretty much pinned their hopes and relied on Michael Jackson - the youngest - as the pallbearer of the band. It was MJ that anchored the band together for years since their debut in the '60s.

The obsession continued, as Michael slowly became more and more unrecognisable.

In 2015, a documentary released a CGI image of a reconstruction of Michael Jackson's face in present day, had he not undergone the surgeries.

The 10 Faces Of Michael Jackson was a documentary film released in January, 2015, delving into the life of the pop star who died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50 of a heart attack due to prescription drug overdose. The documentary computer generated an image of the musician and what he would've looked like in present time with all of his facial surgeries removed and nullified.

Here's what he would have looked like:

Taking images of the musician from before his surgery and ageing them using a computer algorithm, the film was able to create what could be a fairly accurate representation of the artist's face in present day.

A difference that is worlds apart.

RIP Michael Jackson.
