Not only do you have this issue, but some of Hollywood’s biggest stars were once small, indistinguishable individuals. Today, let’s enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane and attempt to recognize these famous individuals from their early pictures!
Anne Hathaway
The young girl with the infectious smile who later became the resilient Fantine from Les Misérables and the queen of Genovia in The Princess Diaries is the first to be introduced. Yes, that is Anne Hathaway! Even as a small girl, it was evident that she would eventually join the elite of Hollywood.
Tom Cruise
The following picture shows a young youngster who barely resembles someone who would ever be able to pull off risky exploits for the TV show Mission: Impossible. Anyone like to speculate? Indeed, this little child changed into the stunning Tom Cruise, whose smile could light up a room or an action-packed movie screen.
Meghan Markle
As she grew older, this stunning young girl with a twinkle in her eyes and dreams of becoming a princess matured into the Duchess of Sussex. Are you familiar with her? Meghan Markle had celebrity power even before she wed Prince Harry.
Tom Hardy
This young man looks like he’s been in some real difficulty. This little man would grow up to be a tough leading man in Hollywood, a leading man in tragic roles. Please give it to Tom Hardy!
Lady Gaga
Look at this cute individual! Could you envision this lovely toddler revolutionizing popular fashion, music, and film? It’s none other than the woman who was always going to get noticed: Lady Gaga.
