Sometimes performers need to be aged up for a role. For occasions like this, special makeup effects artist Kevin Yagher will create prosthetic pieces and makeup.
For “Bill & Ted Face the Music,” Yagher made Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter look like they were 95 years old. To do this, he first took lifecasts of the actors to see where wrinkles and droopage were beginning so he could then accentuate them. He then sculpted deep wrinkles while making sure parts of their bone structure were visible. Then he airbrushed tiny pores onto the skin and meticulously painted on broken capillaries and liver spots. He also realized he could make the two actors look older by giving Winter a pair of contact lenses that give off the appearance of cataracts while adding fake eyebags to Reeves.
Thank you to Kevin Yagher for speaking with us and providing us footage and photos. Check out more of his work here:

How can I apply for your training school?
I saw an Article on Rick Baker in Life Magazine in 1981. I've been a special effects makeup artist for over 35 years because of that. It's the best job that I could have ever imagined because every project is something different. I love it when I first walk onto the set with the actor in the completed makeup, and the Director sees something that he only dreamed of, right there, standing in front of him. That never gets old for me.
Ma keanuuuuu è bellissimo anche da anziano ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To put foam or silicone on Keanu’s face to age him is the point where Man did what Nature can’t do.
So cool!!
I heard somewhere that they would use this with Utkarsh Ambudkar for the live action series of Avatar: the last airbender.
AmAazing!!!

I think the most difficult parts of the face to make it look convincing are the eyes and the area around the mouth. There are many movies where you can clearly see its fake, but these ones were really well made
That's talent! Absolutely wild! 😊
Totally fascinating. Much much and much respect. 😎😎😎
