Then and Now: 20 Mind-Blowing Photos of Celebrities

Have you ever wondered about what your favorite celebrities looked like about 20 years ago? Actually, maybe some of them didn’t even change a bit, but there are quite a lot who just made a 180 degree turn. Whether it was a right or a wrong one, you decide. But don’t forget that they are all humans, just like anyone else. Now, let’s check out their young selves, compared to their current look.

20. Britney Spears in 1998 and now

On the first picture, Britney is 17 years old. It was just 2 years before publishing „…Baby One More Time”. It was the most popular LP published by a teenager. On the second picture, she is 38 years old. In spite of the ups and down she had during her career, she is doing pretty well now, at least we think that according to this, and nowadays’ photos.

19. Angelina Jolie in 1994 and now

She is just as stunning as she was 25 years ago. That sounds a lot, but actually she was 19 years old on the first picture and she is 43 years old now. Unbelievable, right? I think we are all curious about her beauty secrets, or at least her diet, if that’s the way she keeps herself so young.

18. Gwen Stefani in 1996 and now

The first picture was taken in 1996, when Gwen Stefanie was 27 years old and on the second one, she is 49. It’s even more stunning than Angeline Jolie’s comparision. Actually, it’s almost like she looks younger, or at least just a few years older on the second photo. Of course, make up and a professional photographist can make miracles happen, but I am pretty sure these two are not enough for this result.

17. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 1998 and now

The first picture was taken in 1998 and the second one in 2019. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same things about the Olsen twins as in the cases above. Obviously, they grew up, got older, from girls they became women, but considering the fact that they are still young, Mary-Kate looks a „little bit” older than her actual age, doesn’t she?

16. Jamie Dornan in 2004 and now

Looking at the first photo, you might think: can Jamie Dornan get even hotter? The answer is yes, he can. And the evidence is the second photo. The first one was taken in 2004 when he was 23 years old and the second one is a fresh 2018 photo where he is 36. This is how you age perfectly.

15. Macaulay Culkin in 1994 and now

Well, Macaulay Culkin is sure not an example we would like our kids to follow. The first picture was taken in 1994, while filming the famous ‘Richie Rich’ and the second one was shot in 2018. He walked a rough path during his career, had drug problems but managed to get himself together. After all, the hard times are visibly seen on the second picture.

14. Will Smith in 1993 and now

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air just became a mid-age father figure. On the first photo, Will Smith is 25 years old. The second picture was taken in 2017, a few months before his 50th birthday. Of course, we can see that he is older but actually he is just as charming as he was 25 years ago. I think we can say that the prince turned into a king.

13. Jared Leto in 1994 and now

I know it’s surprising, but Jared Leto on the first photo is 23 years old. He looks like a young teenager, but you know what they say: looking younger is not the problem. On the second one, he is 47 and actually, despite the beard, he still looks like a teenager, especially with the red hair. He had to change a lot for his role as the Joker, but we have to admit: it suits him.

12. Daniel Radcliffe in 2000 and now

Daniel Radcliffe is the most famous child actor of the 2000’s, and despite the fact that he’s already grown up, he still lives in people’s memory as a child. On the first photo, he is just 11 years old, and on the second one, he is 29. He is one of those exceptional child actors who didn’t get lost in fame and still actively plays.

11. Ryan Gosling in 1998 and now

This charming man started his career at Disney’s. Unbelievable, right? He is only 14 on the first picture and 38 on the second one. Years passed but he is still as handsome as he was as a kid. The beard is helping a lot though, he would look much younger without it. Almost like on the first photo.

10. Channing Tatum in 1999 and now

The good old Magic Mike is exactly as hot as he was 20 years ago. He was just 18 on the first picture and he is 38 on the second one. I think we all agree that both pictures are stunning. Did he age? Yes. Did he age well? Hell yes! He just got more manly and charming, but that’s it. I am really curious about what he will look like another 20 years later.

9. Christina Aguilera in 2000 and now

Well, we can’t say that she looks bad, but she sure gained some weight during the years. She was 20 years old on the first photo in 2000 and she is 39 now on the second one. If you look closely, you can see the aftereffects of botox and other beauty surgeries. She was a natural beauty, but everyone is doing what they want with themselves, right? It’s 2019.

8. Johnny Depp in 1990 and now

Well, Johnny Depp is another generation, but this is why the comparison is even more spectacular. He was 27 on the first picture in 1990, and he is 55 now in 2019 on the second photo. Time flew by, that’s for sure, but he is actually doing pretty well. Maybe aging just adds a little extra to everyone.

7. Tom Hiddleston in 2002 and now

He caught everyone’s attention (and heart) with the anti-hero role of Loki in the Marvel series, but he is also outstanding, if we talk about looks. From a cute curly blondie, he became a man with a big M. On the first picture, he is only 21 and on the second one he is 37.

6. Rami Malek in 1998 and now

He sure is far from being called „old”, seems like he is not capable of aging. He still has a kid face even at the age of 37. On the first photo he is 17 years old and on the second one he is 20 years older! Incredible, but still true. Maybe another 20 years later, he will look like a 30-something. Good for him!

5. Beyoncé Knowles in 2001 and now

Beyoncé Knowles was born in 1981. On the first picture, she is 20 years old, and on the second one, she is 37. She didn’t even change a bit, actually, she just got more feminine and more beautiful. Maybe celebrities know the secret of eternal youth? Or maybe they just have their own way of keeping themself look young? Either way, she is stunning.

4. Anne Hathaway in 2001 and now

On the first picture, she can be seen in her first significant performance in „The Princess Diaries”. She was 19 while filming that movie. On the second photo, she is 36. Besides the little make up and her hair being done nicely, she looks almost the same. You could say that 36 years are not that much, and it’s true, but she could lie at least 10 years about her age.

3. Avril Lavigne in 2002 and now

Avril Ramona Lavigne was born in 1984. On the first photo, she was 18 years old and on the second one, she is 34. She was the pop-rock idol of many of us in our teenage years. She grew up, but her talent and beauty is the same. She just grew out of her punk phase. Or did she? On the inside, we think that she is still that rebellious and carefree musician as she were before.

2. Jason Momoa in 1996 and now

Jason Momoa, or as he became everyone’s favorite this year, „Aquaman” is now 39 years old. But he wasn’t always as manly as he is now. On the first photo, he is only 17, and although he is kind of handsome, he is far from his future self. On the second picture he is in the role of Aquaman.

1. Pink in 1995 and now

The world-famous singer, Pink is an exemplar for everyone. She is just gorgeous. On the first photo, she is only 16 years old and looks completely normal to a teenager. On the second photo, she is 39 years old but still looks like a wild teenager. Does she age at all? We know that she trains and works hard, but that would be the secret? She could also lie about her age, at leat 10 years for sure.
