15 Formerly Hot Celebrities Who Lost Their Looks

Even though things like plastic surgery, anti-aging treatments, and makeup exist, it's still impossible to prevent all the symptoms of aging. It's completely unrealistic to expect that we'll look the same at age sixty as we did at age twenty, even though we'd all like to stay forever young. Being rich and famous sometimes allows you to afford beauty treatments that normal people would never be able to get, but other times, it can make you look even older.

Even though we've been taught from a young age that drugs, alcohol, and stress can do a number on your appearance, it hasn't been enough for many people to stay away from toxic substances. Maybe that's why so many of these stars look nothing like they did in their old yearbook photos! It might be common sense to assume that all of us will eventually become old and wrinkly, even if we once looked as good as these celebs did in their old photos, but some people end up looking even worse than you'd expect as they age.

Check out these celebrities who were once totally hot, but have seriously gone downhill in the looks department in recent years. Whether it's due to plastic surgery gone wrong, substance abuse, or something completely out of their control, there's no denying that their days of being heartthrobs are long gone. I used to have the biggest crush on #5, but I didn't even recognize him in his more recent pics!

She went from the cute little girl in The Parent Trap, to the pretty new girl in Mean Girls, to the woman who was suddenly more famous for her drug problems than her movies. Between the drugs and what is almost certainly a bit of plastic surgery, the actress looks nothing like she once did…and I wouldn't say it's for the better, either.

The lead guitarist of  The Rolling Stones was once extremely handsome, but years of drugs, alcohol, and stress completely transformed him into a shadow of his former self.

Can you believe the cute guy who played Luke Skywalker is now 63 years old? Unfortunately, age hasn't been the only thing that took away this actor's good looks. Years ago, a car accident fractured his nose and cheekbone, but what aged him more than anything was the large amount of weight that he gained after his days of being a Jedi were over.

She was once known for her work on the soap opera Knots Landing, but these days, Joan Van Ark serves more as a warning symbol for what happens when you go overboard with plastic surgery.

Val Kilmer certainly doesn't look as bad as many of the stars on this list, but there's no denying he's come a long way from the heartthrob we fell in love with when he played Batman. He's gained a lot of weight since his days of being a superhero, and there have even been rumors that he had a severe drinking problem.

Thanks to his work in 9 1/2 Weeks Later, Mickey Rourke was a definite sex symbol in his younger days. At one point, he turned to boxing, which resulted in multiple injuries… and a serious decline in his looks.

The wife of the late Kurt Cobain was once a wild and beautiful woman, but after the death of her husband, she began to become more and more dependent on drugs. Between her substance abuse and stress, Courtney Love's poor health choices have become apparent through her appearance.

When he starred in The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment was pretty much the cutest little boy in Hollywood, and just about everyone expected him to grow up to be a super handsome gentleman. However, it appears as though the actor let himself go as he grew up, often appearing overweight and with awkward-looking facial hair.

Remember that cute kid from Home Alone? Well, he doesn't look like that anymore. The child actor is all grown up, and while it seems like he hasn't been doing much acting recently, he has been performing in a pizza-themed parody band called "The Pizza Underground." Unfortunately, he hasn't had much success with the band or his appearance since he grew up.

Not many people look like supermodels at age 66, but years of drug and alcohol abuse have made the former lead singer of Black Sabbath look much older than he actually is.

Often described as the first supermodel, Janice Dickinson earned her fame by being beautiful. While I still wouldn't consider her ugly by any means, it's clear that a lot of plastic surgery has left the model looking a bit alien-like.

Admit it: you thought Charlie Sheen was a hottie when he had that small role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In fact, you might have still thought he was cute during his days on Two and a Half Men. But after a long string of crazy behavior and what is almost sure to be some pretty crazy drugs, Charlie is no longer the hot bad boy… he's just bad.

The man that stole your heart in Grease sure doesn't look like he used to. Between his weight gain and hair loss, this celeb looks more like a member of a biker gang than a movie star.

Back when he was on Saturday Night Live and even National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase was a pretty good-looking guy who kept himself in shape. These days, he's a lot older, a lot fatter, and if you listen to anyone who's worked with him, a real jerk, too.

There are people out there who believe that Pamela Anderson will always look sexy no matter what she does to herself, but the majority of people seem to believe that the former Baywatch star just looks too fake nowadays.
