Remember that awesome video of Chris Hadfield singing David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” aboard the International Space Station? You should. It was kind of the best thing ever.
But photographer Christopher Wahl didn’t think his transformation went far enough. When he was asked to do a photoshoot with the returned astronaut, he decided it was time to blend Bowie and Hadfield into one. Check out the transformation in the video below!
Wahl took time to make up Hadfield as David Bowie’s iconic Aladdin Sane, getting a cover shot for Maclean’s that is a dead ringer for the album cover it mimics. Look at that flawless makeup job!
Chris Hadfield is made of awesome, and I can’t wait to read his book coming out later this month (the cover with the atronaut in space riding a skateboard is pretty fantastic too).
