Given this age gap, one curious netizen wondered what Pique might look like at 46. Using AI-generated imagery, the creative internet user posted the result to Instagram, to the surprise of many. In the image, the viewer can distinctly see that a decade has come and gone in the face of Pique. But his key features remain relatively unchanged.

However, his scalp is far from its original brown hue—instead, it has given way to gray strands. The thickness of his beard has increased. His forehead is also no longer as smooth and bright as it was in his younger days; but wrinkles are now beginning to emerge, etching their way onto his brow.
