What celebrities looked like as teens

There's no mistaking him for anyone else.

"Please purse your lips more prissily... there we go..."

I'm a big John Lithgow fan.

You know who...as a fresh-faced teen ingenue.

John Lithgow, exercising the well-known 'Smell a Fart' face taught at the famous Joey Tribbiani School of Acting...

Here ya go

Mel Gibson age 19

R7 - wow

1) JLC looks like a man in drag.

2) Did Jason Bateman get a nose job?

3) HBC - no fucking way. Did she get plastic surgery too? She looks horrible and nothing like her. Nose job and other stuff?

The majority of those people in that link were already stars and well known in their teens - not exactly earth shattering.

Young Mel. Yum.

Vivien Leigh

Ava Gardner

Elizabeth Taylor looks almost middle aged.

Keira Knightley

Winona Ryder was giving off baby dyke vibes as a teen

Kate Hudson

I’ve never liked his music much but Elvis was a really hot guy…until the fatness

Keira looks like ReviewBrah.

Stephanie Nicks

Pamela Anderson was pretty but that was some awful hair

The Pat Benetar was popular in the early 80s.

Belinda Carlisle

they looked like blue SQUARES

Kate Hudson is incredibly fortunate that Goldie paid foe a nose job.

Clint Eastwood

Audrey Hepburn

That list at R7 is so lazy. Yes, there are a few stars like Jack Black that became famous as adults, but it feels like so many of them are just regurgitating pictures of people who were once child stars.

It's not interesting to see a picture of a young Drew Barrymore. She has been famous since age seven!

I guess it shouldn't be surprising how many actors had nose jobs (Keira Knightly, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson...)

R7s link is the greatest thing ever!

So much to notice in every pic

(Jason Bateman's 14 year-old photo looks like a youthful 35 year old cosplaying)

Madonna and Paula Ciccone

R7 loved those pics! Austin Butler is adorable with blonde hair, and Ron Howard is actually cute.

General Jim Mattis as a teen looked like an old Eminem. He loves the comparison!

And had those ears pinned, R24.

Elvis looks like he had really bad skin.

He does r33 but his features are so great

[quote] 1) JLC looks like a man in drag.

Poor JLC. DL never cuts her a break.

R15 Winona looks like Boy George.

I didn’t know that John Lithgow invented resting bitch face,

No wonder he got into Harvard,

Tammy!

Gene Tierney

Bette Davis went to my school but moved away before graduation. I bought a 1928 Newton High yearbook on eBay

My partner was at Scarsdale High with Liza. She was only there from 1961-62 but he bought yearbooks for every year he was there, even as an underclassman. Here she in in the 1962 yearbook being Anne Frank with the drama club. (No he didn't get her to sign it, because who knew?

Linda Lavin

The always-repulsive Bonnie Franklin

La Bomer

Gabrielle Carteris

I think Ron Howard looks ugly as hell. I'm surprised he was able to work as an actor.

The Howdy Doody effect

R47 - to be fair, there wasn't a single looker on the Andy Griffith Show or Happy Days. Most of them were unfortunate looking, to be kind.

In comparison, he looked above average. Those were two ugly casts.

The photo of Ron Howard in the above link isn't a good one. But I always found Ron Howard to be attractive. This one is more indicative of how he looked around age 19-20. Like most men, the early thinning of hair starting by age 30 did impact his looks though.

MISS Helen Lawson

Demi Moore was so gorgeous when she debuted on GH. Has been ever since. There’s just something about an actor who makes that kind of impact right out of the gate.
