35 Well-Known People We’re Not Used To Seeing Young
3.2Mviews
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!

Maggie Smith
Ian Mckellen
Helen Mirren
Morgan Freeman
He looks very handsome in his youth photo. Now, he just looks distinguished.
Betty White
Angela Lansbury
Colin Firth
Ralph Fiennes
Patrick Stewart
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???
Anthony Hopkins
Christopher Walken
Hugh Laurie
Angela Bassett
Samuel L. Jackson
Bill Murray
Willem Dafoe
Bryan Cranston
He looks like he was probably just as funny when he was young as he is now.
Ricky Gervais
Daniel Day Lewis
Idris Elba
Liam Neeson
Bill Nye
Jack Nicholson
Charles Dance
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.
Some of us old farts remember some of those old farts just fine from when we were ALL younger.
Agreed from one old fart to another.
Same. Feeling old remembering some faces.
yup
ditto
Just what I was thinking
Exactly!
I'm older than some of these old farts.
Agreed, my good man. I recognised the younger ones more often than the older ones
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 fuck them. They can't talk shit now.
Ivan Bolitekurac, what an amazing retard...

Supporting rapers and pedophiles is pure class now.Wow
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
Don't forget Christopher Lloyd.
and Brad Dourif
Thats not bette midler thats mayim bialik playing bette midler in beaches
It's definitely not. Mayim Bialik did play young Cece but that is NOT her.
Lea's right, Emma. That's not Mayim. That's definitely Bette Midler.
That’s because they corrected the photo and replaced it. It was originally Mayim Bialik.
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.
Some people are just meant to look old
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!
Is so good that I love old movies so I can see the people that are my parents age and more. And I love Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Day Lewis, they are a bit older than me but great actors and handsome.
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.
Maybe people don't know the younger version of some artists that became famous at an older age (very few cases), but for the rest their photos are out there.
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!
white people age like milk
Why not Michel Jackson? He changed a lot....
We need to do one of Tom Felton!!!!
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
Amazing. Some look better now, some look better then and some haven't changed a lick! Hollywood, who can figure it out?!?!
I love this. What beautiful people.
Paul Rudd. Keanu Reeves. Tom Cruise. Will Smith. No one can ever put their names in this list.
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.
This post makes me feel old.. it seems like Ralph Fiennes looked like that. Speaking as a Gen Xer.
Time has a lot to answer for

Sorry. Garbage post. Most of these young images were when they were in their teens or early twenties. Few people are working or stars at that age. Do your research. Many of these were performing at a young age. Bill Murray was a STAR at 25 o n SNL. Julie Andrews was performing as a child. Do your homework on the rest before making up fake posts.
