Our Favorite Celebrities and Adorable Childhood Photos (Photo Gallery)

[New Sancai Compilation First Release] Except for a few Hollywood child stars such as Drew Barrymore and the Olsen twins, celebrities all had ordinary childhoods just like us. Recently, photographer Ard Gelick cleverly stitched together some photos to magically take photos of these celebrities with their younger selves. This is really an interesting way to play. Let’s get to know a few famous figures and the cute little faces next to them!

△ Emma Watson: Emma, who is only 11 years old, became famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" series of movies. We have come to know and love this talented actor. While becoming a very successful actress, she also earned a bachelor's degree from Brown University. What else can't she do?

△ Leonardo DiCaprio: Leonardo started his acting career very early, when he was only 15 years old. Many people remember him for his roles in Romeo and Juliet and Titanic, but he had a number of other film roles before that. Over time, Leonardo became one of the most famous figures in Hollywood, and as of 2019, his films have grossed at least $7.2 billion worldwide. As an ambitious kid, is this his ultimate career dream?

△ Macaulay Culkin: After Culkin said the words "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!" (Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!) in the movie, the world fell in love with this actor As a child actor, his film career also began to take off. To this day, some people still like to watch Home Alone during the holidays. However, since then, his acting career has stalled. Culkin is one of the few people who has the reputation of being a child star and wears it as a badge of honor.

△ George Clooney: From an adorable, goofy boy to a silver fox stallion, Clooney is one of those people who gets better with age like fine wine. As a teenager, Clooney suffered from Bell's Palsey, which left half of his face paralyzed for most of his freshman year in high school. He found ways to laugh at himself, which helped prepare him for future fame. Between the movies Ocean's Eleven and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, we don't know if Clooney wanted to change his career. He might have told his younger self that everything would get better. Fortunately he grew up to be what he is now.

△Julia Roberts: Roberts always seems to be in the spotlight because her career is timeless. It all started when Roberts was a child, and her parents co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers Studio, which sparked her love of acting. Moreover, she was already a Southern belle even as a child. When Roberts grew up, she was named the most beautiful woman by People magazine seven times! Her iconic appearance and roles in major films such as Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich made her a household name.

△ Sylvester Stallone: It’s fun to see tough guy Stallone turn into a baby-faced boy. Doctors cut a nerve when Stallone was born, leaving him partially paralyzed, but that didn't depress him. This also created a character for him as he was always growling and had slurred speech. Although his facial issues made growing up difficult, Stallone never gave up. It took him a while to really break into acting, but he eventually made it, and now he's one of the most well-known actors in Hollywood. If he could go back in time, Stallone might give his childhood self the "Believe in Yourself" motivational speech from "Rocky."

△ Kevin Costner: Movie star Kevin Costner has been a household name for decades, starring in some of the most high-profile movies of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Dances with Wolves. with Wolves), "The Bodyguard" and "Who Killed JFK" (JFK), etc. In fact, his directorial debut "Dances with Wolves" in 1991 won both the Academy Award for Best Director and the Best Picture Award. His most recent credits include multiple seasons of the hit TV series "Yellowstone," starring the veteran actor. It's no secret that anyone who's been in Hollywood for 50 years has to have something special, and Kevin Costner is certainly no exception. There's a reason why his face was as clear 40 years ago as it is now.

△ Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was born in California. Before the age of 17, he was arrested many times for fighting, theft and check fraud. If The Rock could talk to his younger self, he might advise himself to do better and stay out of trouble. Incredibly, he had a lot of hair as a child and today he is bald. There's no denying that his rocky road turned out great, with movies like the Fast and Furious franchise and Moana to prove it.

△ Conan O'Brien: Although O'Brien didn't switch to his signature swoosh until recently, he's been rocking his red locks since the day he was born. O'Brien grew up in Massachusetts. Throughout high school, he showed his writing talents in many aspects. After graduating from Harvard University, he joined the writing team of HBO. From there, the business flourished and became what it is today. Even though O'Brien announced that he's leaving the late-night talk show for HBO Max, thankfully this isn't the last we'll see of the red-haired comedian.

From his adorable days at Hogwarts to this day, he's still a fantastic actor. While we've always hoped for another Harry Potter movie in the future, the chances are slim to none. Today, Radcliffe works primarily in independent projects and theater. We can't wait to see if he returns for another Blockbuster movie.

△ Drew Barrymore: Barrymore first became famous when she starred in "ET the Extra-Terrestrial" when she was 7 years old. Barrymore also played a woman who becomes a zombie in Santa Clarita Diet. If you haven't seen it yet, we highly recommend it. When she was a little kid, she probably never imagined how big her career would be, but decades later she's still a household name. She also successfully owns her own cosmetics company called Flower Beauty.

△ Cristiano Ronaldo: As one of the most famous football players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved success that no one could have predicted. Growing up in Sao Pedro, Portugal, he started playing football at an early age and quickly attracted the attention of many teams. As Ronaldo rose through the ranks, people began to believe he could succeed in the professional leagues. Nowadays, people compare him to stars such as Lionel Messi and Pele. That sweet little boy has grown into one of the most beautiful men in the world.

△ James Corden: Who would have thought that this cute little British boy would grow up to date some of the biggest stars in Hollywood? James Corden was born in London and did not enter the television industry until graduating from high school. Corden started his career on the BBC morning show and gradually had his own show through his own efforts. Now, he's revolutionizing late-night talk shows with "Carpool Karaoke." His charismatic personality and adorable British accent make him the perfect combination for a talk show host, and he's just as adorable as a kid.

△ Jodie Foster: In the picture above, little Jodie looks cute in a skirt and matching bow. Foster grew up in California, where she had a privileged childhood and began her acting career early. Her mother quit her job to manage Judy's career, helping the young actress achieve success quickly.

Since 2014, Foster has retired from television roles to focus on her film career, and she has several projects in the works.

Sheeran grew up in England, singing in local churches and learning to play guitar at the age of 11. Everyone who knew him said he was a natural actor. Today, Sheeran has sold 58.3 million singles and continues to set new records for chart-topping hits. While he still has bright red hair, he definitely has a more mature appearance. Even though he's taking a break from his music career, we can't wait for him to return and release a new album.
