Rob Deniros curb stomp scene in The Irishman is hilarious because of this. A 75 year old actor made to look 40, supposedly beating up the store owner, but looks like he’s trying not to break his hip as he shuffles around.

The de-aging prevented me from understanding the story.
It was the scene at the gas station where Joe Pescis character says to De Niros character something like "what's your name kid?" that made me laugh out loud. De Niro literally looks like a 50 year old.
They went so technically heavy with IR cameras (Watch the making of) and some dude on YouTube made a better de-ager with a deep fake. Not marginally better, but dimensions better.
The Irish Man is just comically bad.
