Once celebrities achieve stardom they often surround themselves with the best personal trainers, personal chefs, and full on glam squads to ensure they look completely out of this world. However, most celebrities started and just like us “normies” and certainly didn’t always look the way they do now! Check out this collection of celebs, sometimes you can actually tell who the person is, but sometimes they look like an entirely different person!

Before They Were Famous, They Were In High School

It’s natural that as you mature over the years and experiment with new styles and different looks, you typically develop an image you are pleased with. These celebrities and public personas (Oprah, Eva Longoria, and Anthony Weiner to name a few), are a perfect example and have come quite a long way from where they once were. Many of the famous faces we know and love today looked markedly different when they were younger. In fact, we’re going to look at some who look almost unrecognizable in their high school yearbook photos. Ever wonder what Alec Baldwin or Kirstie Alley looked like as teens? You’re about to find out.

A Rebel Since A Young Agen

You can see from this old-school (get it?) picture of Madge, that she looked very different as a teen. If we just showed you this photo randomly and asked you who it was, you might struggle. But, knowing itu2019s Madonna you can certainly make out her recognizable features. We wonder if this was one of many looks the singer cultivated throughout high school. Madonna attended Rochester Adams High School in her native Rochester Hills, Michigan, where she was a cheerleader. Despite her good grades and participation in extracurricular activities, Madonna had the reputation of a rebel since a young age.n”,”text”:”

There’s A Madonna For Every Decaden

The Queen of Pop is the master of reinvention. She has perfectly mastered how to reinvent her sound, style, and image to be relevant in every decade. But, she wasn’t always the pop goddess we know her to be today. As you can see from the old photo of her, there was a time when she was just a regular girl with nothing but a head full of dreams to guide her. That regular girl has come a long way since her days growing up in Michigan, earning the title of the best-selling female recording artist and the fourth best-selling act of all time according to the Guinness World Records.n”,”text”:”

This gossip girl was such a cute teenager! In fact, Blake has sort of a geeky look about her. She probably had no idea back then that she was destined to go on to great things. Weu2019ll be honest, we think Blake looks pretty much the same here as she does now, just a little younger. Thereu2019s no doubt she has probably grown in self-confidence, too. The actress grew up in Los Angeles, where she attended Burbank High School. She was reportedly elected senior class president and was on the school cheerleading team.

If you look hard enough, you might recognize this Academy Award-winning actress. This one might be a bit harder as she has recently undergone quite a drastic transformation, although she still looks like the Renu00e9e we know and love.

Zellweger was heavily involved in extracurriculars at Katy High School in Texas, where she was a cheerleader, gymnast, and a member of both the speech team and the drama club.

Yes, believe it or not, this is a young Renu00e9e Zellweger! Renee has always been a blonde beauty and was obviously a knockout even back in high school, as this picture shows. But her recent transformation has been unexpected. She claims it was the result of a new healthy lifestyle, but the world isn’t so convinced Renu00e9e. Zellweger responded positively to the criticism, telling People in 2014, “I’m glad folks think I look different!

Clinton’s musical talents were so great that at one point he even considered pursuing music as a career, but ultimately decided against it after being inspired by law during a mock trial in his Latin class. In his autobiography, My Life, Clinton wrote, “Sometime during my sixteenth year, I decided I wanted to be in public life as an elected official. I loved music and thought I could be very good, …But I knew I could be great in public service.” Bill Clinton changed America when he took office in 1993. Despite all the scandal that plagued his personal life, Clinton managed to become one of the best Presidents the United States has ever had. His third-way politics healed a lot of the wounds in the country at the time and drew support from Republicans and Democrats alike.n”,”text”:”

Wow. The woman in this picture is almost unrecognizable from the actress who shot to fame in the sitcom Cheers. The young Kirstie Alley in this photo looks a million miles away from the Hollywood Kirstie we all know. In fact, we reckon even Kirstie would struggle to recognize herself in this picture. Attending Wichita Southeast High School in Kansas, Alley was known to be a bit of a rebel. According to CNN, “She used to sneak out of the house with no makeup on when she was a teenager in high school in very plain clothes and then change into a vamp in the back of her friend’s car before they would go out to [use] fake I.D.s to get into bars and ride on the back of motorcycles with guys.”n”,”text”:”

It just goes to show that anyone can change their look drastically over time.

Well, there are plenty of Baldwin brothers to choose from, but, many people agree that Alec is the best looking. We think he must have been quite the heartthrob even back in his high school days. Baldwin is an alumnus of Alfred G. Berner High School in Massapequa, New York, where he was elected senior class president in 1976 and was on the school’s football team. To help out his family during that time, Baldwin took on a number of odd jobs which included being a lifeguard and bussing at New York City’s Studio 54.n”,”text”:”

This is the Gwen we have come to know and love! Her style as certainly morphed over the years from ska-punk-pop princess to edgy glamour queen.

She continues to work on music and serve as a host on the popular TV show.

Emma Stone Left High School To Move To LAn

Sassy. Beautiful. Funny. Intelligent. Likable. Talented. Interesting. These are just a few of the adjectives we could attribute to the lovely Emma Stone. She looks a lot younger and more fresh-faced in this picture, but she hasnu2019t changed that much. It is still clearly her, and sheu2019s retained that wonderful natural beauty. Even in this picture she still has the kind of smile that could bring down empires. She attended Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona, which was an all-girl Catholic high school. Her time there didn’t last long as she dropped out after a year to pursue acting, finishing her GED online.n”,”text”:”

Most recently Emma can be seen starring alongside friend and heartthrob Ryan Gosling (we LOVE him!) in the critically acclaimed La La Land. She even ended up winning an Academy Award for the role!
