Your old photos won't go away. And even if you delete all of them from your hard drive, your mom still treasures an album where all your awkward phases are documented in hilariously funny pics. So suck it up and own your vintage self. To show you how it's done, a-list actors, musicians, and other famous people are posting their black and white photos from the early days.

Funny hairstyles? Check. Questionable wardrobe choices? Double check. The hashtag #OldHeadshotDay brings out the forgotten sides of the popular celebrities we are so used to seeing, and we can't get enough. Hopefully, more will follow in the footsteps of Ryan Reynolds, Emma Watson, and other beloved faces, surprising us with more ridiculously cute actor headshots. Scroll down to check out the young celebrities and upvote your favorite then and now photos.
