Just like ordinary people, famous celebrities went through an awkward phase, too. They weren’t as glamorous as they are now, with big bank accounts to boot. Some even went as far as having cosmetic surgery performed on them to make them look perfect. But once upon a time, they looked ordinary, too.

Well, we must admit, of course, there were those who are obviously born to be stars. Recently ‘old headshots day’ happened, and a lot of celebrities shared some of the early headshots they had. Some did not, but we still want them to join in on the fun, so we gathered photos of your favorite celebrities before they found fame. Here’s a bonus – most of the celebrities on the list play superheroes in your favorite movies!

Natalie Portman – Child Actress to Oscar-Winning Actress

The caption Natalie Portman included on her old headshot day photo is just perfect – ‘baby me’. She did start out as a child star in the acting business, and a very good one for that matter. She also turned out to be one of the ‘good girls’, not getting involved in alcoholism or drug addiction even when she experienced fame at a young age. Portman is considered as one of the best actresses of her generation, and she has an Oscar as proof of that title.
