So, yeah, I've always found celebrity childhood photos to be mildly entertaining, thought maybe a thread on them might bring up some lesser seen shots. Recently happened across a number of them that I'm posting here. I'm not including any of the names, though, just the ages each person is in the photo (hoping I got all the ages right). Also, I know that a number of them aren't childhood, by any means, but figured they looked different enough from how we are used to seeing them.
Some are immediately recognizable, some are fairly well circulated photos, but one or two stumped me. Also, putting quote tags around everything, partly for size, but also so it's easier for people to quote and answer...

[Devolution]

Dude still looks like a child how are you so sure.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Adding 6 more for fun, most of these are pretty obvious, though. Starting the count at 13, so as not to confuse.


13. Age 21


14. Age 8


15. Age 22


16. Age 22


17. Age 19


18. Age 7

15. Christopher Walken
18. Madonna

13. is the Michael Stipe

14. Probably Sarah Silverman?

 

[Jarmel]

He looks young but come on. That looks like an eight year old at best. I mean even the 12 year old shot of Eminem looks older.

6. Clint Eastwood. (He even looks cool in short shorts.)
7. Stephen Colbert
8. Leo "No Oscar" DiCaprio
11. Bruce Willis
12. Russel Brand?

 

[Broder Salsa]

I could only guess DiCaprio cause that one is obvious.

 

[Fritz]

16 is totally Drew Carey.

Well, I trust you on this because I have not the faintest idea who D. Carey is.

 

[AMUSIX]

So only #14 is left unguessed? Suppose that's not surprising.


And, yes, DiCaprio is 16 there.

 

[DerZuhälter]

12 is Matt Damon. At least that's my guess. And goddamit, Chris Walken was one handsome man back than.

 

[Trent Strong]

It's kinda crazy how much a young Madonna and her daughter look alike.

 

[Camp Lo]

Holy Crap, mostly right, but those are her tits, not her ass.

corrected. Goddamn, she's aged so well.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Is 14 Amy Whinehouse?

Yep. Recognised her straight away!

[AMUSIX]

corrected. Goddamn, she's aged so well.

[Camp Lo]

OMG I can't believe I missed 7. I knew I knew...

 

[Trojita]

For real. This was what I was thinking. Helen Mirren is damn fine.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

?

 

[AMUSIX]

That's an awesome one...but being part of Rock Band GAF, I recognized it....still, perfect example of the topic

 

[leadbelly]

Christopher Walken had a bit of meat on him at 22. In a lot of his films he's as thin as a rake.
