I love it when celebs jump on a meme like regular people. This one, where actors and actresses are sharing their first (or old, at any rate) headshots, is pure gold. It reminds us that everyone went through an awkward phase, that we all took photographs we thought were a good idea at the time, and also that the eighties and most of the nineties were truly terrible decades for fashion.
So please, enjoy these 15 favorite old celebrity headshots, and check out more on #oldheadshotday on Instagram.
