When Snapchat's gender-swapping filter went viral last year, we tested it on 28 political leaders

Now that FaceApp is going viral for the same reason, it is only fair that we do the same to 18 political leaders of the new Cabinet line-up, along with three other famous figures.

FaceApp is a photo editing app developed in Russia. Its latest feature is able to process a photo of a human and turn them into their opposite sex more convincingly than Snapchat's filter could.

In the spirit of fun and sheer curiosity, here are 21 gender-swapped political and famous figures:

1. Prime Minister - Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
