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 crush) on these Disney characters will definitely love them, but even if you don’t, it’s interesting to see these characters in real life. Väätäinen stayed true to their original tone while making sure they seem totally lifelike and believable.
If you like Väätäinen’s interpretation of these famous characters, be sure to visit his website, where he’s given the same treatment to Disney’s iconic princesses and female cartoon characters as well!

I dated Prince Eric in college. At least that's what my daughter calls him. Still friends. He's still hot, I'm not.

Prince Eric takes the cake. Hercules, while classically handsome, looks like he's pondering 1 + 1.

Agree! And unfortunately we saw his real face only in the end of the movie. I'd like to see how Prince Adam would look as a beast in real life :)

Use to date Tarzan. Everyone calls me Jane. Guess I should have stuck with him!

It's crazy how much of a resemblance he was able to make from a cartoon character! This is pretty cool. Being the Disney fan that I am, I'm loving his interpretation of what they look like.

You're already editing photos, why not make them more accurate? Get the hair and eye colors right.
RichardNickerson 8 years ago
You're using photoshop, you can be more accurate. Get the hair and eye colors right.
LauraRobsonCannon 9 years ago
I think most of them are accurate, except Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty. I think it's his hair. It just doesn't look right to me, and perhaps his face it too long. The others are fantastic.

Prince Eric looks SPOT ON. Prince charming should have a little more of a baby face, his hair isn't the same style, and his eyes are dark not blue. Aladdin looks pretty spot on, I guess I just imagined him.. more hansom. He was always my favorite... I think it's the lips and chin that's bothering me with that one. Beast's hair should be redder, less brown. Tarzan's hair should be more brown, less blonde. Also he has green eyes, not blue. Prince Phillip looks all wrong, his face should be softer and kinder, not stoic and chiseled. Also his hair should be redder, less blonde and brown. John Smith is SPOT ON. Hercules's hair should be redder, less blond and brown, but other than that I'm really impressed with these. I like how they made Hercules's nose look like those old Grecian paintings and statues.

Hi, don you know, are these all pure Photoshop works, or were there any cases when the artist used photographs of real models? If yes, I want to date Prince PHILLIP :D

Hello, is this all Photoshop work, or there were some real models too? So realistic! :O

And I bet they sell margarine and pose for romance novel covers when they take a break from being princes. :) They are all just too good looking. One can dream, though!

It's neat how they have diverse, unique facial features. Too bad all the Disney princesses look the same except maybe Pocahontas.

I think Jake Gyllenhaal pretty much looks like Aladdin - see Prince of Persia.... And where's Li Shang from Mulan? Cause I can think of several Asian actors (like Godfrey Gao...or Siwon...or MY personal fav - Lee Jae Yoon) who look like him :D

Soooo, they're all gay? Don't get me wrong they're all hot, but come on, really? Guys this hot usually aren't available to women except as "best friends ".

Blargh, and now they're ruined. Most of them looked fine as cartoons, but the real life versions just look too much.. pretty-boy.. Ohwell, Aladdin actually looked better than the cartoon. And Tarzan would be fine if they hadn't made him look so soft or whatever. And John Smith is nice, definitely the best of these. Oh, and just btw, I always thought Prince Adam looked hotter as the Beast. Actually got offended when he turned into a human when I watched the movie as a kid. :p
