30 Celebrities Photoshopped Side By Side With Themselves As Kids Show How Aging Has Changed Them
It might be a surprise to you, but for the most part, celebrities weren't always famous. With the exception of some extraordinary examples of when kids were put in the spotlight from a very early age, such as Macaulay Culkin, Haley Joel Osment, or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, famous people were kids like everyone else. And they surely have some goofy and extremely adorable photos of themselves in their family albums. And if you are as curious how celebrities looked as kids as we are, you came to the right place—graphic designer Ard Gelick gives us this opportunity with his awesome twist!
Ard Gelinck has taken us on a trip down memory lane with a modern time machine called Photoshop several times before here, here, here, and here. He's well-known to netizens for putting iconic celebrities side by side with their younger selves, but this collection we've put together is by far the cutest! Gelinck photoshops celebrities with themselves from years ago and it looks as if they had just met themselves as little kids to hang out.
Disclaimer: Some of these "then and now" celebrity photos mashed together might make you feel old.

Extremely sweet photograph. I'm not from the United States, but I truly miss Obama's presidential leadership-- he stood for change, tolerance, diversity, and kindness.

These composites are remarkably well done. Simple side-by-side photos would have made the point, but the creator expended a lot of love and care in matching not only the photographic and emotional tone of the subjects but also in positioning the subjects together as if they were actually interacting. Bravo!
