If you’ve ever wondered what Disney’s princes might have looked like in real life, Jirka Väätäinen, a Finnish artist and designer in Melbourne, has answered that question definitively with his series of real-life Disney prince illustrations. They don’t call him ‘prince charming’ for nothing!
Anyone who had a childhood crush (or still has a desire) on these princes will love them, but it’s interesting to see how they might look even if you don’t. Väätäinen stayed true to their original characters while making sure they seemed life-like and believable.
If you like Väätäinen’s interpretation of Disney’s characters, be sure to visit his website, where he’s given the same treatment to Disney’s iconic princesses and female characters!
