Every time netizens spot a celebrity doppelganger, the Internet goes berserk. Well, if you are one of those who always fancied looking like a celebrity, and enjoy some fifteen-minutes of fame, there’s now an app for it. Yes, an app which has taken social media by storm as it identifies your celebrity lookalike and the results are quite freakish if not baffling.
As people online were just trying to forget the viral FaceApp and its ageing filter, a photo-editing app called the Gradient is going viral and has left all in a frenzy online. The steps are pretty simple to find your celebrity lookalike and renders four-step process that transforms the original photo into a celebrity photo.
Many who tried the app thought it was hilarious, and couldn’t take multiple chances to look like their favourite celebrity crush. From Mark Zuckerberg to Scarlet Johnson, be whoever you want!

And after FaceApp received backlash online for the security concerns, Gradient, in its policy highlights, “does not claim ownership of Your Content that you upload or stylise through the Service” and it doesn’t “collect, store, share or transfer the Face Data off the User devices”.
