Photos: Celebrities – Then and Now

They glitter and shine like the brightest stars up in the galaxy. But did they always look so beautiful? Let us see, shall we?

Beyoncé Knowles1. oldies 1Long before the sexy singing sensation became blond, she was a very cute brunette. It’s easy to see at this young age that she would easily turn out to be the one woman men would lust after and women would long to be like.

George Clooney1. oldies 2Ladies, this was your “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1997 and 2006. Not looking so sexy as a young lad now, was he? You see this THEN picture and ‘sexy’ is most definitely not the word that jumps to mind. What’s the word then? Yep – ‘Geek’.

Jennifer Lopez1. oldies 3Unsurprisingly, JLo was hot to trot even back in her high school days. This Fly Girl was a looker even before she hit it big in Hollywood.

Barack Obama1. oldies 4Somehow, you just know, by taking a look at this THEN picture, that this was the face of a future leader. Obama didn’t look so bad as a teenager.

Michelle Obama1. oldies 5First Lady Michelle Obama was genteel and beautiful as a young woman even back in her high school days.

Brad Pitt1. oldies 6So it would seem that Brad didn’t start breaking hearts in recent times. Judging by this cute high school picture, it’s safe to assume he’s left a trail of broken hearts from way, way back in the days.

Tyra Banks1. oldies 7Years before making a splash as a favorite ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’ model and Victoria’s Secret Angel, Tyra Banks was an undeniable beauty, if lacking all the glamorous trappings the supermodel life would soon present to her.

Tom Cruise1. oldies 8It would have been Mission Unbelievable had Tom Cruise been an ugly duckling back in the days. As is evident here, he really was adorable. And that smile has ‘movie star in the making’ written all over it.

Fergie1. oldies 9Here’s Stacie Ann Ferguson getting Fergalicious in her yearbook photo years before turning heads with The Black Eyed Peas.

Ryan Seacrest1. oldies 10It’s almost painful imagining, from this THEN picture, the torture Ryan must have gone through in high school. Because that chubby, geeky look just screams ‘high school victim’. Well, all’s tough that ends well, seeing as he’s now a TV and radio host extraordinaire.

Lady Gaga1. oldies 11Sometimes, it’s the perfectly ordinary lookers that turn out to glory in a lot of wackiness. Who knew that high school face would later make the art of looking crazy so cool?

Zac Efron1. oldies 12OK, girls scream his name and magazines love his face, all thanks to ageing, the process that perfected that to this.

Megan Fox1. oldies 13She has garnered more ‘Sexiest Woman’ acclaim than most Hollywood females put together. She was even called the new Angelina Jolie, at one time. That pixie smile in the THEN picture just tells you it was all meant to be.
