This Instagram Account Points Out How Much Celebrity Faces Have Changed Over The Years And Here Are 30 Of The Transformations
You know those good old visual puzzles where you have to spot the differences between two similar images? The Instagram account celebbeforeafter is something along the lines of that, though the side-by-side pictures are always of famous celebrities, showing how they looked then and how they look now.
We've gotta admit, there's something oddly satisfying about looking at pictures like these and trying to find all the little things that have changed throughout the years. Especially when we're talking about famous celebrities, since they are often associated with all kinds of plastic surgeries. The appeal of games like this must be real for many people—the account currently has almost 200k followers.
Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to look through some of the before and after photos of these famous celebrities.

Keanu Reeves
Under each of the photo collage, the account gets hundreds of comments of people discussing the changes of these celebrity faces and speculating about possible plastic surgeries that might have been done. People seem to be quite enthusiastic about this whole thing.
Robert Downey Jr.
I miss him... Tony will forever live in my heart... *Internaly screaming* WHY DID THEY DO THAT!?!?!?!
Jennifer Garner
Michael B. Jordan
Leonardo Dicaprio
Hilary Duff
Professional teeth whitening. I wish things were normal so I could go to the dentist too
Rihanna
She's gorgeous in both, but it looks like the 2020 shot is edited to smooth out the pores etc, unlike the "now" pics of other celebs, so...?
Dakota Fanning
Reese Witherspoon
Her mom took care of my newborn in Vanderbilt hospital in 2007. She works in the nursery.
Jared Leto
Courteney Cox
She has had a lot of surgery, which she admits too. Most of it hasn’t been for the better. Shame as she was the nicest looking of the 3 female Friends characters.
Note: this post originally had 50 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
am I the only one who cringes at those horrible fake lashes in many of the pics?
WhiteFluff ikr
Madison Lam yes
WhiteFluff no
I can't take seriously comparing photos of people who are now younger than 35. People just don't change that much between 19 and 29 or 20 and 30. Some of these people are so young (like Zendaya) it's ridiculous to search for any aging and compare photos. Also, it's ok to age. I love how Sharon Stone still looks amazing but lets her beautiful face shows age. Though, some older people in this list I admit have amazing bone structure.
Zendaya is 24 and they were comparing her to a picture at 14. That’s a huge change.
So...They all just wear more makeup and/or grew some facial hair now compared to then?
Yep all rest stayed more or less the same, e.g. Downey Jr over 30y and some addictions. This topic seems to prove the opposite of what it set out, "oh how time changes all"...

So in 10 years people started hating thin eyebrows. Am I the only one not knowing half of these names ?
No, some people are just worldfamous in a very small area of the world.
...and the point of this is what exactly? To show how makeup, photoshop & fillers can help you defy aging?
And plastic surgery!
Apart from Tom Hardy, I mostly see a lot of Botox 😨

I feel like so many had what I will now forever think of as "baby noses" not surgery, just their noses grew up.
no Kylie Jenner one? hahahaha
Who ?

A transgender attention figure.
I think you mean Caitlin Jenner.
They should put Ryan Reynolds in here... gorgeous man
Makeup is a helluva thing.

😍😍😍😍😍 ｈｏｗ ｃｏｕｌｄ ｙｏｕ ｆｏｒｇｅｔ？ salma-haye...a01086.jpg
Everyone's teeth got whiter, that's pretty much it.
I know right! It seems like in the early 2000s ppl could have normal teeth, the whitening fad spiralled pretty fast
Shocking news no one is telling you! People age!
I do not understand the changes in eye colors. Contact lens? Most look better after 30 years
Could be the light when the photos were taken, maybe.
It would have been interesting to see more child vs adult pics instead. (At least I think so since I like to draw and I like to imagine that it would be nice to learn how to draw the same imaginary characters at different ages.... not that I ever do....) But basically this shows that make-up fashion changes. Period.
So, they've aged. I didn't notice anyone that had extensive surgery. Age, make-up. I know there are actors that have had so much surgery that they are hardly recognizable to their younger selves and they were not included in this array.
UGH I CAN'T WHY ARE THEIR EYES SO PRETTY?!? Especially Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon's eyes T__T
Amazing what good makeup and photography will do.

most look as good or better, with exception of a few guys. but i wish the beards would fall out of fashion especially the 3 day old stubble and there is an age with women there face changes from grown up girl to a woman, and most look great
Do the people on here really not understand the concept of "plastic surgery"? "She hasn't changed one bit!" Yeah, and has no wrinkles whatsoever! I'm sure that's all natural aging...
Teeth whitening helps people look a lot younger
None of these photos show the neck or the jawline, where aging hits hardest. I know people like Keanu and others are really youthful, but this is dumb.
is it just me or is it slightly unsettling that all the photos are zoomed in so far
These kinds of threads bring out the worst in people.
yeap, photo editing has evolved through the years..!
From younger to young didn’t do it for me. How about a post of young and much older?
I kind of love these... Also, Taylor Swift should've been higher up, and why are y'all saying bad things about her she is an ICON
I thought I would see people who really changed their face or something. I just saw the same people with almost no difference.
Dang did they have to zoom in so close I mean dang!
I love seeing all these natural, imperfectly perfect noses in a business where many women feel the need to get nosejobs.
Tiari what
I don't know who half of these people are. But I do see lots of teeth whitening and VERY heavy foundation. Some of them look so false they look like they're computer generated..
This is stupid

nice to see so many who've not had major plastic surgery. too much makeup on some women for me. plasticy ... free the freckles!
You're kidding, right? Because almost all of them have had lifts and tucks and buckets of botox. The only reason you don't see wrinkles on most of them is that they haven't been able to move their faces for 20 years.
