Photos of celebrities from those times when hardly anyone knew them.
1. ALAN RICKMAN
Did you know that a young Alan Rickman once played a terrorist in “Die Hard” with Bruce Willis? I recently rewatched it and was amazed when I recognized him there.
But his later roles are quite well known. “Love Actually,” “Perfume,” and of course, “Harry Potter,” where he played the infamous Professor Severus Snape.
2. NICOLAS CAGE
How about Nicolas Cage in striped pants and a red jacket? It looks strange, doesn’t it? We’re more used to seeing him in a more ordinary look without any unexpected bright details.
3. WINONA RYDER
What a beautiful young Winona Ryder! So youthful and fresh. Although she’s still beautiful, she’s not as carefree anymore.
4. GÉRARD DEPARDIEU
This fellow, who out of greed decided to change his French citizenship for Russian (because France introduced a 75 percent income tax for those earning over 1 million euros), was once quite something.
5. MARILYN MONROE
Seeing Marilyn without makeup is rare. Most fans associate Marilyn with curls, blond hair, and red lipstick. But she was actually an ordinary woman, so sometimes she looked like in the photo on the left.
6. RUSSELL CROWE
Once upon a time, Russell Crowe even played in his own rock band. And he rocked it!
Now he’s a serious guy with a beard, but he’s still a well-known actor and director.
7. MICK JAGGER
Just look at how cute young Mick Jagger was!
And now his face is covered in wrinkles, but each of them is like a furrow of experience, reminding of events and emotions lived through.
8. PAMELA ANDERSON
Remember Pamela like this? It’s from before the famous red swimsuit, which everyone recognized her for after “Baywatch.” And her hair was just slightly highlighted back then; later, it turned into platinum blonde.
Now Pamela is again at the peak of popularity, only now she’s saying goodbye to makeup and shocking the public by appearing with a clean face in front of the cameras.
9. RALPH FIENNES
Ralph Fiennes in his youth and now. You have to have such a look that you can easily play a politician, an English aristocrat, and even the One Who Must Not Be Named.
10. SARAH JESSICA PARKER
Look how little Sarah Jessica Parker looked — button nose and an open smile. A stunning girl. Hardly anyone could have thought that she would grow up to be a style and fashion icon and the star of the most popular female series of all time.
11. SYLVESTER STALLONE
Young Sylvester Stallone was quite the fashionista — probably had to compensate for his slightly distorted face somehow. And it must be said, he succeeded quite well. A good example to follow.
12. HELENA BONHAM CARTER
The strangest and most mystical actress of our time — Helena Bonham Carter — was a very lovely girl in her youth. At what point she decided to become a stylish urban eccentric, I don’t know, but for many years now, everyone has known her exactly like that.
13. SHARON STONE
Young Sharon Stone hardly expected to become famous after the scene of crossing her legs. But despite the director’s assurances that nothing extra would be visible, she made the most of the situation and became one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood.
14. SEAN PENN
How young and innocent Sean Penn looks. Nowadays, who knows, maybe he’ll give his Oscar to someone for no apparent reason or do something else unpredictable.
15. ANDIE MACDOWELL
Andie MacDowell looks almost the same in her youth and now, maybe just a little more gray hair and a few more wrinkles. But compared to many others, she has aged very well.
