For most celebrities, there was a time when they weren't quite as attractive as they are now. Even the hottest celebrities from the 2000s had completely different appearances than they do now, and that's not exactly surprising.
They must cope with the pressure of having to look great and act right. Their physical appearance is always under observation. Famous women, especially, suffer from the spotlight, drawing remarks on their age or weight. This is also the reason why they never stop changing and becoming more perfect. In addition, famous people also often change themselves to portray their roles. While some people must sacrifice their physique to gain weight, others have to diet for months to properly lose weight. Well, it's really not easy becoming a famous actor.
So, let's take a look at the changes these female stars have gone through in the side-by-side photos below. One thing's for sure, they've become so much better and more successful than they were in the 2000s.
