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.
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
Dr Phil
Is it me or has his head *literally* gotten bigger?

pathetic excuse of a "psychologist". He exploits people on his show who are desperate for help. It's more of a jerry springer trash exploit now
They ask for his help KNOWING they'd be on TV. How's that exploiting them if they’re signing up for it? If they didn't wanna be on TV they shouldn't sign up.

Douche, it’s spelled douche. Try to spell correctly when disrespecting others.

I used to love watching his show until he jumped on the "let's make 'em cry first" tactics; there is a better way to help people. You can actually help people without humiliating the entire family. It used to be a great learning opportunity, but now it's just a cheap shot show. I still love the guy, but damn...
Even in that pic it looks like he gave unsolicited advice like around high school or something.
I once heard him say, "Children tell on their parents. You can tell a lot about parents by how their kids turn out." His son is a drug-addicted creep living in one of daddy's mansions that he packed full of terrible "art" -- except for the dining room, where there is a display of two-dozen military-grade assault rifles on the wall.
What a bunch of COMPLAINERS and INSULTS toward Dr. Phil !!! How many FULL shows have you watched, as he seriously helps the obese, the OCD's, and lots of other health/mind issues others have... kinda' like all the ones listed below.... EXCEPT FOR ME!! What's going on and if you never sat down to watch a few shows, this is why in HIS show, unlicensed as a counselor on purpose (can't be sued!) he's able to truly help many others suffering from their "insides." Give him a break, and stop following the one before you on comments. I don't care what you say about me personally. But NO one has shown any interest, unless they love harassing them on tv. UGH.......
I don't have a problem with him, but I do have a problem with his wife. Does being married to a dr. make a person all knowing best?

Is it just me? or does his head on the left picture, look a lot like the DIY experiment. Rubberbands around a watermelon ? just about to burst :D #cantunseeitnow
is it just me or does his head on the left, look a lot like the experiment with rubberbands around a water melon=? just about to burst xD :D
An old boss of mine from when I lived in the DFW area told me some pretty interesting stories about the Doctor. He's not as squeaky clean as he'd lead you to believe......
So his eyes changed from brown to blue and his nose looks completely different.. bullllllll
wow. I can't stand him. my family loves him. using other peoples problems for fame isn't right even if they do volunteer.
Woh! He grew chipmunk cheeks as he aged! Carry a lotta nuts in there...
Left: That annoying uncle from the south who thinks he knows everything Right: neonazi planning a school shooting.
Young Dr Phil looks like the high school's jock from teen movies.
WOW this one shocked me. He needs to get rid of that awful moustache.
I'm old enough to remember all of them from when they were young. (Oh god, how sad is that!)
Not uncommon. And with hazel eyes it's very common, they often also seem like different colors in different lights. But many people change eye color a bit during life.

So there was a time when his head wasn't shaped like a figure 8. Interesting.
Uh... Dr. Phil... How's that workin out for ya? Not for me, and I'm FROM TX...
He had a "reverse" nose job...his nose is bigger and of course his eyes look like a botched plastic surgery job, now.
Can't explain exactly why - I just don't like him. Not even the young "him."
His eyes were creepy then, and now the rest of his face has caught up.
His unfortunate legacy is unleashing Danielle Bregoli upon the world.
Maybe not run your mouth with rumors what aren't true ...

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.

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?!?!
