The 15 Celebrities Who Looked Awkward in Their Teens

#15 Kate Moss

Who’s this girl? Of course, it’s Kate Moss. Looking at this funny picture, it’s hard to believe that 20 year later, this girl will become the second on the top-earning models list compiled by Forbes. She has earned 9.2 million in just one year! If only this teen girl knew that….

#14 Zooey Deschanel

This picture is taken from Deschanel’s seventh-grade yearbook. The 14-year-old girl just lost ten pounds and tried to grow out her bangs, because she wanted to get a new look. Even though, now the “New Girl” actress says that is was the worst year of her life, her intention to grow her bangs seem to be just perfect. Now the bangs are her signature look.

#13 Jennifer Garner

Of course, we all have tons of imperfections when we are in our teens. So did Jennifer Garner. Just imagine – this girl will later get married to Ben Affleck and have 3 children with him. Not bad.

#12 Jennifer Aniston

Oh hello, Jen! Long before Jennifer Aniston became a sitcom superstar and hot bodied girl, she was a teenager living in Manhattan and dreaming about a career in acting. Even though one drama teacher told her that she was a “disgrace to theater,” Forbes rated her as one of the top 10 richest women in entertainment in 2007… And she was married to Brad Pitt! But don’t you think, Jen is a bit complicated? Yes, we do too….

#11 Beyoncé

This picture is taken from her 8th grade year book. Beyoncé attended Welch Middle School in Houston, Texas. She is just 13 years old in this picture. What can we say? Unlike most high school kids who are not lucky to have bad skin, breakouts or braces, this girl always knew how to smile and be camera ready.

#10 Brad Pitt

Even the world’s most desired man went through that awkward phase. Though, he could still boast that he looked really good even in his teens. We bet, Brad Pitt was quite a heartthrob then too!

#9 Ellen DeGeneres

It was long before Ellen came out publicly about being a lesbian, and, of course, before she got married to Portia de Rossi. She was just a teenager, who studied at the University of New Orleans and was an emcee at Clyde’s Comedy Club in New Orleans. We would love to see Ellen doing a monologue about this outfit.

#8 Taylor Lautner

The 21-year-old actor is not far away from his teens…. But we should say, Taylor Lautner is a really smart teenager. The success after the Twilight films made him too busy to attend the school, so he took the California High School Proficiency Exam to graduate from high school in 2008. Just imagine how it would have been like if he attended this school!

#7 Avril Lavigne

This girl was very successful during her teen years. By the time Avril Lavigne was 16, she had been signed to Arista Records and started working on her first major album release. Her album “Let Go” debuted at number two in the US charts and climbed to the top spot in the UK, setting a record as the youngest female soloist to do so. But she wasn’t always the skater girl, that’s for sure!

#6 Angelina Jolie

Why do you look so scared, Angie? Maybe, you have just dropped your acting classes and decided to become a funeral director? Or maybe, you have just bought a new knife to play with? Anyways, Angelina Jolie was a very unpredictable teenager…. Nothing changed when she became an adult though. Who knows, perhaps she is still at heart – and always will be – a punk with tattoos.

#5 Gwen Stefani

Can't imagine Gwen Stefani without her trademark red lips and ultra-blonde locks? Well, it seems like she started as a fresh-faced, sandy-haired teenager! There's no sign of the punk chick who made it big with her band in the mid 90s. Crazy, huh?

#4 Charlize Theron

Can you believe that this gorgeous woman was not popular in the high school? Actress Charlize Theron said in an interview that she wore nerdy glasses as she was almost blind. Boys didn’t like her. Though, she developed a thick skin and a strong ambition. By 19, she had already a year-long contract in Milan. And then became a star. Poor guys from her high school!

#3 Lady Gaga

Meet Stefani Germanotta. Back in the 90s she was a teenager who suffered from bulimia and had a lot of body-image issues. Well, she still struggles with her weight issues, but we should say, her natural makeup really fits her….

#2 Megan Fox

If you are not a fan of Megan Fox, try to convince us that she’s not hot. Even though we understand that she is one of the most overrated women of our time, she still looks pretty hot. But who cares? Pictures of her from her college years don’t help. She is as gorgeous as she can be. Questions?

#1 Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake was a cheater in his teens! According to his first girlfriend, Veronica Finn, he might have cheated to her even though he loved her. She was 16, and NSYNC star was 17 when they dated. Needless to say, there was a huge temptation for girls to get to know him since he was a super cutie and super successful….
