Glasses can change someone's entire appearance, and this includes our favorite stars. Even though some celebrities, like Tina Fey and Zooey Deschanel, are well-known for wearing glasses, other people rarely wear glasses to events or when walking the red carpet. So when they do, they're almost unrecognizable. For instance, we were completely unaware that Justin Timberlake wears glasses because the legendary former boy band member rarely wears them when performing.
While some people only use glasses as a fashion statement, many people need them to see and read. Another choice for those with short sight is to get Lasik surgery. However, it carries some risk, so they prefer not to use it.
It's fascinating to see these stars in a new way. We're so used to seeing their faces in movies and TV shows that we enjoy it when they put on glasses in real life. A list of 20 famous people who wear glasses has been compiled. Scroll down to read more.
