From Johnny Depp to Taylor Swift, this makeup artist turns into Hollywood icons faster than a movie trailer

A 24‑year‑old Chengdu artist—known on social media simply as Bobo—has lit up the Internet with a jaw‑dropping transformation video that goes from Johnny Depp’s pirate swagger to Taylor Swift’s sun‑kissed sparkle, with Scarlett Johansson’s iconic “Lucy” look in between. In just a few minutes, she swaps mustaches, wigs, contact lenses and a toolbox of facial artistry to become three of the world’s most recognisable faces.

The clip kicks off with a meticulous Johnny Depp makeover: a rugged goatee, a weathered moustache, and a black‑coat silhouette that could belong on a Caribbean deck. Mid‑video, she ditches the stubble for Scarlett Johansson’s sleek “Lucy” vibe, capturing the actress’s sharp eyes and confident smirk. Finally, she shifts gears into Taylor Swift—soft pastel tones, a flowing wig, and a bright smile that could light up a stadium. Each transition is timed to a catchy beat, leaving viewers gasping at the flawless detail.

Other than these looks, one can also see the artist transform into ‘Joker’, ‘Rose’ from Titanic and ‘Mia Thermopolis’.

The video has racked up millions of views across Douyin, Instagram, and beyond, pushing Bobo’s follower count past 5.7 million on Douyin alone. Fans call her work ‘magic’.
