Last year, Bored Panda wrote about famous people who made it only after they hit 30. Naturally, we're not used to seeing these people when they were young adults, but it only makes us even more curious, because, well, haven't you ever wondered what Morgan Freeman looked like in his twenties? Because we sure did. Therefore, Bored Panda has made you a short list of people that we haven't seen as young adults and teenagers before. So scroll down below to vote for the ones that you like and that surprised you the most!

Helen Mirren
Morgan Freeman
He looks very handsome in his youth photo. Now, he just looks distinguished.
Betty White
Angela Lansbury
Ralph Fiennes
Judi Dench
That's Dame Judi Dench, and well deserved! She is so stunning!!
Meryl Streep
Julie Andrews
Almost EVERYONE has seen Julie Andrews young....umm, "Sound of Music" or "Mary Poppins" anyone???
Willem Dafoe
I went to a movie premiere back in 1995 in NYC, I forget the picture now. He arrived with his wife and son, and my god. Photographs didn't do him justice. He was an absolutely beautiful man. He may photograph weird, but he was so hot in person, I did a double take. And his wife looked at us all gawping at her man like the cat who'd gotten the cream.
Bryan Cranston
He looks like he was probably just as funny when he was young as he is now.
Liam Neeson
Did not really change a lot. The question now is: Does he still look young or did he always look old?
I think he looked really mature even at a young age

One of my faves!!! Fabulous actor, super handsome in an Irish sort of way!! So sad how he lost his beloved wife!!! Wish someone had insisted she go to the hospital!! Brain injuries are so insidious, and so deadly left untreated!!!
If you haven't already, you simply must check him out in Excalibur, which also featured a young, already-bald Patrick Stewart.

Google "liam neeson young" and you'll get a picture a lot younger than the one on the right
would have liked to see a picture of him really young, this one must be late 30'ies ?
Rumor has it that in the movie ROB ROY, when his character walks out of the ocean fully nude facing the camera, the scene was darkened in post-production, because audiences gasped at the size of his penis and never recovered focus on the film.
And now that you have told us, we will never look at him without wondering, eyes straying to the zipper area... Must go have cold shower now.

Martha Stewart
In every other picture I can easily see the connection between the older and younger versions. I cannot, for the life of me see it here with Ms. Stewart.
Whoopi Goldberg
Bernie Sanders
I had to LOL at the '60s pic - straight out of Central Casting! I'll vote for whoever our candidate ends up being, but Bernie's my first choice.
Joe Biden
Oprah Winfrey
Some of us old farts remember some of those old farts just fine from when we were ALL younger.
I'm old enough to remember young Meryl Streep. Pure class. A Golden Age actress in the modern age.
She was pure class until she went SJW. Also, why is ivan downvoted so much? Most of the Hollywood biggies know about lots of these Harvey's and Epsteins and said nothing and did nothing so f**k them. They can't talk s**t now.

We should get away from stating that someone ages “well” or “badly”and stop adding shame to the aging process.
So people age exactly the same and looks mean nothing? Evolution and natural selection would like to have a word with you.

Tom Felton has morphed into Jonathan Price, right before our eyes.

Thank you for putting them so all we had to just scroll down and not click and click and click.... so THANK YOU. I AM A FAN of bored panda.com
Bearing in mind that more than half of these people have had a sh!t load of cosmetic surgery along the way...
Martha Stewart's nose. There is no way someone's nose changes like that purely with age 🤣

Even young people have probably seen Mary Poppins surely? I don't think there is a British person who hasn't seen Blackadder either!
I feel like SOME of these folks we haven't seen much of young, yes, but many of them have been in movies forever. Sometimes I get very annoyed at how "young focused" Bored Panda is, like y'all think no one over 35 comes to your site. There are plenty of us "old farts", as Jo Choto said, here. Keep that in mind, BP. Don't slip over into ageism.
some of them have always been old, but many were young when I was, and thus I'm more surprised by how they look today than how they looked back then
Me too. I'm afraid I might also look like they do - which is, of course, impossible!

I used to hear the saying.."youth, divine treasure"....now i know what it means.
What's with this kind of post? It's like the 5th time some site does it with the same people and very same pictures!
Amazing. Some look better now, some look better then and some haven't changed a lick! Hollywood, who can figure it out?!?!
