In the novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' the portrait ages for him and remove all the corruption he done so he say handsome. Until he looks at the painting and stabs it.
"the league of extraordinary gentlemen" ring a bell by chance? It was a relatively recent movie that did something similar - the guy had eternal youth and perfect immortality, except that his only weakness was looking upon the portrait containing his true image, or something.
