15 Rare Celebrity Childhood Photos: Can You Guess Who They Are?

It’s easy to think of celebrities as these gods and goddesses among people, who’ve always looked ready to take on any event and look great doing it. Red carpet appearance? Easy! Impromptu fan gathering? Just say the word. Some random kid’s birthday party? They got you! But guess what? Once upon a time, these superstars were also regular rugrats with crazy haircuts and fashion choices that scream, “My mom dressed me.”

Even though today they’re all stylish and serious, it’s good for one’s soul to travel back in time and look at their childhood photos—little time capsules, giving us a peek at who these stars were before the fame, fortune, and overzealous fan squads. From goofy grins to oversized glasses, these snapshots remind us that even the most stunning A-listers had their share of awkward phases.

Some photos look eerily similar to their younger selves, while others have changed so much you’ll do a double-take. Try to play a little game and see if you can tell who you’re looking at without reading their name first. Or don’t; we’re not your parents. But it’d be more fun if you accepted this challenge.

1. Can you believe this guy’s hairstyle basically hasn’t changed since he was 6? And now he is a stand-up comedian. Tiny Eric Andre is totally adorable!

2. Straight from sunny California comes this little kiddo, who grew up to be a rising Marvel star. Can you guess who she is? You got it, it’s Hailee Steinfeld.

3. Who’s this future badass model with some of the most cringey family drama on this planet? If you said “one of the Kardashians,” you’re very close. It’s Kendall Jenner!

4. You’ve probably binged the show where she has “friends,” and they get into all sorts of shenanigans. Of course, it’s Jennifer Aniston.

5. This nerdy, innocent kid has grown up to be one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood. You can already tell it’s Sydney Sweeney, right?
