Frankly, I’m super glad to not have grown up in a digital age – my awkward stage and all of those glorious (read: hideous) 80’s and 90’s fashion trends are much more likely to stay in the past where they they belong. Which is to say, someone would have to dig up actual photos of me in yearbooks or bribe them off my friends or parents in order to see them.
Which is exactly how we’re getting most of these great little peeks into the not-so-dissimilar pasts of these 10 celebs. Sorry, guys. You’re famous, so you don’t get to hide that hair and glasses.
