29 Celebrity Photos Of How We Know Them Today Vs How They Looked In Their Youth

Margot Nolan

We’re used to perceiving celebrities as eternally youthful; no matter how much time passes, they all seem to stay the same exact age in our favorite films. For example, most people associate Marlon Brando with his performance in The Godfather, thus when they think of Brando, they envision him as he appeared in the Godfather era.
When we look at them, we often forget that they aren't superhumans and that they, too, are powerless to stop the relentless march of time. And even though they are now older than they were in the past, many celebrities still remain as magnificent as they were in our favorite movies. 
These photos from their youth also give a glimpse into the traditions and habits of a bygone age while also telling vivid stories about their prime times. We get a sense of how these superstars have matured compared to the past.
We've gathered 29 photos of celebrities then and now, see their amazing transformation below.
