Puberty isn’t kind to anybody — not even celebrities.
While many famous individuals are currently well-coiffed and put-together, they had awkward years just like the rest of us, complete with braces, bad haircuts, and unfortunate fashion choices. And, if you’re skeptical never fear: there are photos.
Here is undeniable, photographic proof that fame can bestow itself on even the most unassuming kids out there — so, don’t feel bad if you have a whole trove of yearbook photos that you wish you could set on fire:
51. Reese Witherspoon
LOVE that the dress says “Reese.”
50. Hilary Duff
SCREAMING.
49. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
The Rock + his pops are too cute for words.
48. Anne Hathaway
Is it possible for a baby to be both adorable and hilariously awkward? It must be.
47. Adam Devine
Honestly, I’m not surprised by this at all.
46. Ashley Judd
