Chris Pratt
I know it’s like a sign that he was “MEANT FOR THE ROLE”...
Load More Replies...I know right... that’s some hot sh*t right there! 😍

Misha Collins
Mark Hamill
No wonder they changed the character name from Starkiller to Skywalker :)
Bless you Mark Hamill. You've been through so much, it's good he's still around for lots of inspiration.
Ryan Reynolds
I don't see a brick Motorola anywhere in this photo. Dead giveaway.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I had chubby cheeks like this when I was a kid too! Trouble is I still do and I'm 43...
Reese Witherspoon
Ben Stiller
Zach Braff
Natalie Portman
Emma Watson
She's like 12 in this photo. Not her first picture, she was already a world famous star by age 12 in the Potter films
Don't know why your comments are hidden. She was good as hermione but when I saw her play belle all I saw was hermione without magic. She is overrated. She is an okay actress.
Load More Replies...Viola Davis
Viola has the most glowingest skin in Hollywood/Broadway. Always luminous.
Beautiful photo! Amazing actor! You can feel her sincerity and her authenticity just by looking into her eyes. She hasn't changed a bit. Just gorgeous, inside as well as out.
Minnie Driver
What a beautiful picture! Love her curly hair and fresh face. I can't stand all the heavy makeup that seems popular today. Makeup always made me feel like I was hiding something. As if anyone saw me without makeup, they might see the real me, and that was a scary thing. I wish more women would love themselves without all the makeup, and embrace themselves for how beautiful they really are!
Warwick Davis
Lord, they're still common in some parts of the American south...
Load More Replies...Chloe Grace Moretz
Sofia Vergara
Somebody get me a time machine and a lot of charm to 'woo' her, please.
I was so mesmerized that I had to look her up on Google images. About a third of the way down, I saw some pictures of her without makeup. Thank heavens for makeup. 00-OMG-5ae...032f5c.gif

Looks almost identical to his days as He-Man! 910LPGPV8d...518fa3.jpg
Dolph Ziggler looks exactly like Dolph Lundgren in that photo. That is both awesome and scary.

Dan Pasternak a writer/producer... he must have worked with Patton Oswalt somewhere along the line. Glad he shared this!
Did you not read the comment under the photo?!

Load More Replies...Josh Charles
Angela Kinsey
Nick Jonas
Busy Philipps
People please, I love Busy Phillips as much as the next girl, but the shirt, the hair, the ridiculous pose...it's embarrassing. I'm pretty sure that's the precise reason why she shared it.

So true. Plastic surgery ruined her, as did bad dye jobs.

Well . . . I guess it's time you learned the truth. Abigail Spencer is your real mother. I'm sorry you had to find out this way . . .
Load More Replies...Jake Short

Load More Replies...Gino Chouinard
Please don't include any of the rest of humanity in with the jackass shenanigans you alone have pulled all over this list.
Load More Replies...I have a serious question. Can anyone explain to me why someone would look at old pictures of celebrities rather than at new pictures of Samoyeds? (Or two times at the Samoyes, if you are done already.)
I guess if you really like certain celebrities, you would want to see what they look like predebut to see how much they’ve changed. I often do this with music groups and it’s crazy how much people change after only a few years, sometimes good other times concerning
Load More Replies...i even want to google their names to be sure but i am so lazy for that :D i don't know 90% of these ppl..
Load More Replies...I cant believe there aren't some more like of demi lovato the sprouse twins miley cyrus or asa butterfield
Warwick Davis - Sara Michelle Gellar - Mark Hamill - and Natalie Portman - recognized and loved - dearly - who the hell are the others for the love of the Lord - WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY DO
