Most of us probably have a very vivid picture of how a US president looks. However, before men become the most powerful people in the free world, they are regular guys just like us. For example, Harry S. Truman was a timekeeper in the railway, while Andrew Johnson was a tailor.
To illustrate that one day they were just like us, Bored Panda has collected a list of portraits of US presidents when they were young. You can barely recognize them, and if you think presidency is an easy job - take a look at how presidents look before and after their terms in office.

Theodore Roosevelt, Age 20
John F. Kennedy, Age 21 And 20
Gerald Ford, Age 18 And 20
Abraham Lincoln, Late 30s (Earliest Confirmed Photo)
It is also suggested that he might of had Marfan syndrome. That's where you grow abnormally tall and your bones elongate. If he wasn't shot there was a good chance he would have died an early death anyways because with Marfan syndrome the heart has to overwork causing an early death.

best pic of lincoln i've seen. he always looks so stiff. back problems or just the way photos were taken back then?
He's the only one I see here without a "he was so hot" comment. Aww
I find him the most interesting looking President of US. Very deep and beautiful eyes. The rest are just typical

Calvin Coolidge, Between 19 And 23 Years

The others have a certain brightness in their eyes, or a special composure.. he just looks goofy, a daddy's boy

It's really interesting to see these people at an age before they ever knew they'd directly shape their country's path
Without exception they look clear eyed, rested and healthy. Think the fact it was be4 drugs permeated every institution from 9th grade up?

Explain to me why Obama's photo has a photoshopped cigarette in his mouth? And why Trump photo is the only one without historical context behind it? This makes it look like Obama was a pothead and Trump was in the military both false statements.
It’s not photoshopped. He smoked from a very early age on... he quit his first year in the whitehouse. But it was just a cigarette, not pot! And as far as Trump, he was in the military academy as a student. That’s as far as he went! I don’t think it shows what you think. To me it shows Obama being a real person who understands all aspects of American life. He wasn’t some rich kid with a silver spoon in his mouth... he is relatable and “normal”. Trump, was a wannabe who had his best years in a school his daddy paid for and although he wore a “uniform” in college, he never amounted to anything but a trust fund baby who paid doctors to give him excuses to avoid the draft while he played sports and spent daddy’s money. Maybe you have to already know their backgrounds to appreciate the irony of the pictures. Obama went on to be a lawyer and worked his way up through the ranks legitimately - Trump used his daddies money to fail at businesses at his whim and did nothing for anyone.

Seriously? You find a suited pic of all the other presidents and you post this one Barack Obama?! You're telling me, you could find no other pictures? And if so, why not find casual pictures of the other Presidents? I'm done.
Exactly what I said. Obviously, a biased post. Interesting how images and articles like this are still being used to push an agenda. I googled "young pictures of Obama" the were MANY without a smoke in his mouth. Just sick.

The early presidents had life masks showing what they really looked like but not young.
Interesting....only two Presidents look like filthy punks. Can you guess which two?
Interesting - at 29 Ronald Reagan was just PRETENDING to be a famous Notre Dame football player (George Gipp) while Gerald Ford at 20 WAS a Michigan football player (without a helmet?) and Jimmy Carter was in the Navy ROTC and eventually headed for Annapolis.
At 29 Reagan was pretending to be a Notre Dame football player (George Gipp), Meanwhile a younger Gerald Ford was playing football for Michigan and a younger Jimmy Carter was in ROTC and headed for Annapolis and the Naval Academy.

The only one that wasn't dressed distinquished was Obama. He was born in Africa. I guess they didn't have suits or military uniforms there.
Yeah, i noticed that. Obviously, a biased post. Interesting how images and articles like this are still being used to push an agenda. I googled "young pictures of Obama" the were MANY without a smoke in his mouth.

I would be nice in the future if they could include a sentence on what they did before they became president, for those that don't know.
So that was the only picture of Obama you could find at that age? What about his high school or college graduation pictures? And the cigarette looks a little fake. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't but it looks that way.
love how that picture of trump isnt accuarate cosidering he never fufilled any form of military service EVER soo yeah how could that picture of trump in a marines uniform be true if he never served
He went to military school. You don't even know the person you hate.
