Many people get excited about seeing celebrities in public and are usually eager to catch a glimpse or, better yet, snap a cheeky photo as they go about their day.
But despite all that instant recognition, there was once a time when said celebrities looked quite different than they do today, as our four chosen stars illustrate in a series of teen snaps.
One shows a man known for his outspoken opinions, although here he seems quite pensive, in a photo that emerged when he attended the ancestry program Who Do You Think You Are?
Next is the smile of a boy who looks proud to represent his school, as seen in a photograph of Hoylake Church of England Primary School in 1979.
The individual in question also has the kind of blonde haircut that will serve as a gruesome reminder to many Britons of the shocking hairstyles their parents saddled them with when they were young.
This individual with a mop of curly hair and a loose tie can be seen looking longingly at the camera.
This now famous actor (pictured top right in the back row) can be seen in his school photograph from Hoylake Church of England Primary School in 1979.
This smiling schoolgirl would go on to make waves in pop music and beyond. Here she appears as a pupil at her primary school in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire.
The schoolgirl in this snapshot has become a recognizable face on UK daytime television.
The third photo shows another smiling boy, sporting a toothy smile while wearing a white shirt with a smart blue and red striped tie.
Finally, a grainy black-and-white image shows a smiling individual in a photo that doesn’t reveal many useful clues about who the now-famous celebrity might be.
