These 50 Old And Recent Celebrity Photos Are Proof That Time Waits For No One (New Pics)
Photographs, in a way, make time travel possible. They’re our portals to the past that instantly take us back to a precise moment preserved forever.
These images also capture a person’s evolution as years pass. Digital creator Ard Gelnick has been doing this for a while, collecting “then and now” pictures of celebrities and pasting them side-by-side.
His Instagram archive consists of stills of A-list actors like Bruce Willis and Heath Ledger and renowned musicians like Lady Gaga and Tracey Chapman.
If you enjoyed our previous pieces covering Gelnick’s photos, you may like this one, too.

Before-and-after photos like the ones on this list show progress, how ever much of it happened. In 2015, Vox featured a similar gallery that showed the different transformations of landscapes around the world.
These are NASA-captured satellite photos in a series titled “Images of Change.” One picture shows the state of Rondônia in Western Brazil between 1975 and 2009 when vast forest lands were turned into farms and pastures.

I am not and was never a Harry Potter person, but I love how he grew as an actor after, I love so many of his movies. He’s just really good
Another photo shows the transformation of Cancún, Mexico, between 1979 and 2009. The before-and-after pictures show the rapid urbanization after the city became a tourist hotspot in the ‘70s.
However, the economic boom from tourism came at a cost, as the expansion and gentrification led to pollution and loss of diversity.

Need the pic of him in the mesh shirt from 50 First Dates. That cracks me up.
Before and after photos may indicate advancement but may also serve as harsh reminders. According to National Eating Disorders Association director Chelsea Kronengold, it may trigger an unhealthy comparison, especially among those with body dysmorphia issues.
“The impact of before and after photos lend to social and body comparisons, which can cause harm to anyone — especially people struggling with body image and eating concerns,” Kronengold told HuffPost.

He seems to have found both joy and peace in his life, and I am glad of that
However, before-and-after photos aren’t all bad. As entrepreneur and Social Triggers founder Derek Halpern points out, they can also be a way of creating connections with people.
“Showing your prospects where others came from and where they are now helps prove to them, ‘this can work for you, too,’” he stated.

The best/saddest part was finding out, after he died, how many amazing charitable things he'd quietly done, behind the scenes, whilst insisting he remain anonymous.

I know it can be annoying when people make the same comment on almost every photo, so I made a supreme effort to refrain from squealing "the little cheeks!" and "the little teefs!" on most of child photos

I’m American, and I easily recognized absolutely everyone on this list. I also doubt I’m the only one. Seems like more of a generational gap than a geographical one.
