Even people who are constantly photographed can be unrecognizable.
15 Early Celeb Photos That Don't Look Like The Same Person

Part of celebrity life is the constant photographs. They're literally constantly on camera, and we've seen them from every possible angle, and in every possible situation. Sometimes, in the case of the Disney Channel, it's like that from an uncomfortably early age. Yet somehow, sometimes celebrities can still be utterly unrecognizable in their early photos.

From scruffy to dapper. From military fatigues to Awards Show host tux. From chunky to “what you picture in your head when you envision white guy handsome.” It's hard to even say these are “Ugly Duckling” stories, because most of them were always beautiful swans. Sure, some of them are “Ugly Duckling” stories (or the reverse), but we're not here for aesthetic judgments. No judgment, here, man. We're here just to marvel at the passage of time and what it does to people. 

Case in point: These celebrities who look absolutely nothing like they did in these early photos.
