Frankly, I’m super glad to not have grown up in a digital age – my awkward stage and all of those glorious (read: hideous) 1980s and ’90s fashion trends are much more likely to stay in the past where 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.
#10. Steve Jobs
The photo on the left is Mr. Steve Jobs is a middle school electronics class and the snapshot on the left is from a few years later. You gotta ask yourself is that teacher on the left had any idea that his student would transform the entire world.
Jobs grew up in Mountain View and Los Altos, California, right smack dab in the middle of what we now call Silicon Valley. Jobs loved electronics from a young age and spent most of his time tinkering with devices and befriending neighborhood engineers to talk shop. The rest, as they say, is history.
