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
When she was even younger than the picture posted, she was an absolute bombshell! I recently saw a (much) younger picture & she was killing it!
She's still someone I would want to be best friends with then and now.
funny that if you're as old as Betty, you had the same hairdo when you were young, because that's what the style was some 50+ years ago.
Betty white is OLDER than sliced bread. So everything else is "the best thing since" HER!
Good lord! Some ppl look good young, some look better older; never both! THEN YOU HAVE BETTY WHITE OVER SLAYIN' BOTH LANES LIKE NO ONES BUSINESS!!
Of course not; the image on the right is black ink on canvas rendition by a protege of Rembrandt.

And we can still tell her she is still gorgeous. Those Blue Eyes!!! And Dimples to boot...
well, we did see her years ago in the "Betty White Show" . I believe that was the name of it.
She looks exactly the same. Also, when she passes, the country needs a day of mourning. She is a gem!
With any luck, she's immortal! She is cute enough to be a wee fae!

I love her love and respect for animals AND her wicked sense of humor.
It is Betty White. You can tell by her nose. Jane Wyatt's nose is slightly more narrow.
Load More Replies... 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.
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 just watched One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and apart from a young Jack Nicholson, a 28 year old Danny Devito was in it, too, and it just seemed so wrong lol

It's definitely not. Mayim Bialik did play young Cece but that is NOT her.

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?!?!
