Puberty may seem like a curse at the time, but once we emerge from it, we begin to see it for the blessing it really is. Even though famous children may have a lot more money than most kids do, they aren't immune to all the growing pains that we "normal" people experience, but just like us regular folks, they can also emerge from their teenage years looking like beautiful swans (who happen to have millions of dollars). Not everyone wins the genetic lottery, but you might be surprised when you find out which of your favorite child stars grew up to be seriously gorgeous human beings.
It can be pretty crazy to see how famous faces change over time. I would have never guessed that these celebrities looked so different in their old high school yearbook photos! But as crazy as it is to get a glimpse into our favorite stars' pasts, it can be even more bizarre to see what some celebrities look like in the present… especially if we had grown up seeing them as cute young kids. We've already seen what some child stars look like years after they played the roles that brought them into the spotlight, but only a select few look like they could be model material these days.
Some were a bit dorky, and some were always adorable, but all of these child stars are now all grown up and ready to take your breath away with their shocking good looks. Puberty hit number 7 like a truck — I would have never expected such a goofy-looking kid to end up turning into such a hot guy!
